    They say hooligans are the English diesease.....wrong! Shorts on, tops off as soon as the temp goes above 15 degrees is the true ailment. Drives me up the wall. Sitting on the bus in the mental hailstorm yesterday and there was a bloke sitting opposite in shorts and t-shirt. Why? It was bloody freezing yesterday.

    Agreed, unless you are playing sport no need for shorts in this weather, it is on par with those suffering a mid life crisis driving round in their convertibles with the roof down, the heating turned up and wearing a scarf

    The word --hooligan come from the sarf London acent ofthe name Hoolihan. They were an Irish family from Lambeth who were the family from hell in the 1880z. So anyone being a tad loud/yobish etc was called a "hooihan" but with the acent became "hooligan". So actually the original hooligans were London/Irish (no offence KB/KBLS/Curb-it).
    Mind you makes a change usually us English invent something and then become shit at it (Tennis/football,cricket etc etc) at least with hooliganism we took something someone else invented and became world class at it ---------------- walks into sunset singing "there always be an England----"

    Heard that as well somewhere Goonerhater, believe it was one particular oirish fella called 'Patrick' (unsurprisingly) Hoolihan where the name came from.

    As for Sarf London and accents, Hoolihan = Hooligan.....Haddock=Addick.....what next.

    Oh and as for the OP on this thread, when you say 'Toby', are you saying that as in 'The Business' (I think?), ie Toby (jug) = mug? Just that I have son called Toby, which when named seemed fairly inoffensive, however since the release of british mob/gang films and then moving to norfolk where a toby is a toerag, the name toby doesnt seem as 'cute' anymore :(

    Oh and as for the pasty feckwits who rip their shirts off and display their puny bodies, worse than Hitler to be fair! ;)
