If they are ordering new ones then can they order more Mcguire shirts? They were sold out in normal sizes before I got a chance to buy one

Some mistake surely??

t'would be foolish not to.

I'd hate to be one of those who hates themselves for the drive down to the club shop to buy one even though they don't want to buy one but have to buy one because they've always bought one for the last twenty years though.

Ewe is not wrong, they'll be flocking to the club shop to get fleeced.

I don't think its that Baaaaad

Thought it would literally be a gold coloured shirt.

Could it metaphorically be gold coloured?

Well I've ordered mine and I couldn't give a monkeys what all you haters think!

I last bought a Leeds shirt for the 2004 Grand Final
It's a little bit tight now...must have shrunk

£10 size XXL if anyone interested

Winner.

I prefer the old Northern shirt second right.

Mixing metaphores to create something new and exciting - milking sheep.

Gawwy will be working out ways he can now fleece a squirrel, count his pigeons and look overhead for flying hamsters.

Err, you can milk a sheep. Sheep's milk is available in most farm shops and sheep's milk cheese is very pleasant, though more common in Italy than here.

Manchego is a very famous ewes milk cheese from Spain.

I didn't say you couldn't milk a sheep. You can "milk" an aphid (if you're an ant), although it's not really milk. I was merely commenting on the common usage of metaphor. "Fleecing a Sheep" was a common metaphor for the cheating of simpletons, not milking them (the sheep, not the simpletons).


And I was only joking.

Sir, we at Southstander.com do not have a sense of humour that we're aware of. Please take your jests elsewhere.

I understand the Wigan board is an open forum where so-called 'banter' from rival fans will be welcomed.

This does of course raise the question of whether the metaphors were mixed or whether the departure from an expected (and cliched) metaphor is perfectly valid because one can (as you rightly agree) milk a sheep.

A true mixed metaphor would be where one metaphor and another are confused together as in, say, "The train had steamed away leaving him stranded like Canute on the beach".
Actually I've put a tautology in there too, can you spot it?

You must also admit the nice juxtaposition of "milking" and "churning" in Mr Gilder's post, cheesy though it might seem.

you Gouda do better than that to get a laugh around here

Does anyone give Edam anymore?

Grate thread this.

You feta believe it

Whey to go fellas.

Curd we have some more puns please.

I am still trying to work out how you "milk a penalty". Is there a Penalty Cheese that goes with that?

You must also be able to milk a Richard.

You'd need to talk to Messrs Tomkins or O'Loughlin for a definitive answer answer on that one


Well, it can leave a sour taste.


Lost me there, sorry.
