Oh well, to put off doing any housework, I’ll sort out the links for my own pitting: [Anyone here eat mutton?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=9175289) [QUOTE=Lust4Life] Mutton (as opposed to Lamb)is pretty much unheard of in my own personal experience in the U.K. I’ve eaten it as dehydrated Arctic survival rations and did’t rate it myself but thats not really a fair taste test. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=GorillaMan] **Lust4Life** is clearly not experience enough, because it’s certainly not unknown in the UK, although admittedly nowhere near the ubiquity of lamb. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Lust4Life] That is why I added the caveat “in my experience”,actually I’ve never even seen it on sale let alone meet anyone who’s eaten it (outside of a “meat” takeaway curry that is.) Though I do know that when the retail market wasn’t so finickity some decades ago mutton was a quite common British dish. [/QUOTE] OK, my response was a bit cutting, but in the big scheme of things, meh. Note that if you follow the logic of **Lust4Life** ’s various statements through, he was eating Arctic survival rations alone, which I think is a story worth telling. [Is money enough to get a lower-division team into the Premiership?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=445926) [QUOTE=Lust4Life] Of course !Man.U. is the most successful club on earth,its all about genuine,raw,local talent ! If a club could just buy players and then win then there would be no interest in soccer from any slightly intelligent person. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=GorillaMan] ‘Most successful team on earth’? Liverpool’s European titles are enough to challenge that assertion. [/QUOTE] I stand by that one as a perfectly reasonable challenge to a hyperbolic statement. Right, normal service is resumed. I’ll play **Chalfont & Lemur**. ---

[QUOTE=Fish Nya] Are we switching over to sheep puns now? The monkeys will feel left out. If only there was a way to [join the two.](http://youtube.com/watch?v=jEwERdL-zwY) [/QUOTE] Thank you **fish** , you just gave me my new sig. I think I’ll use this one, too. Check it! ---

If I’ve been a bit snarky \*\*Gorillaman \*\* then I’m more then willing to metaphoricaly shake hands,but I was genuinlly under the impression that you were stalking me. If I was wrong I apologise unreservedly,if I wasn’t then we’ll just have to see it out. ---

:smack: Well played! Invoking this _Primate Codicil_ makes things a bit tricky. Admittedly weak, but all I can do is play **King** (Kong) **'s Cross**. ---

I am certain that you made exaggerated claims and Gorillaman simply corrected you. You posted, for example: [QUOTE=Lust4Life] Of course !Man.U. is the most successful club on earth,its all about genuine,raw,local talent !

Liverpool’s European titles are enough to challenge that assertion. [/quote] And Real Madrid have also won a lot more then Manchester United. As for ‘Man Utd using local talent’ - 😕 :smack: Consider George Best (N. Ireland), Denis Law (Scotland), Roy Keane (Ireland), Eric Cantona (France) David Beckham (London), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)… I think it is also very unwise to say anyone supporting a team that buys players and wins (Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal etc) is not intelligent. ---

[/QUOTE] Actually **glee** you’ve been wooshed (My first successful woosh Yippee!) I was being ironic,the point I was making was that in football if you have enough money you can more or less buy titles which is why I am not a football supporter. ---
