Any Opinion on Yorkshiremen?

Postby Dukasaur on Sun Sep 04, 2016 11:40 am

I might meet one in a few weeks. Is it okay to ask them to sleep in a rolled-up newspaper in the septic tank? What if I run out of Chateau de Chassilier?

Who the f*ck is Kenny McCormik?

(Yes, I know I can google it, but then I wouldn't have a chance hear your take on him.)

A video representation might be better. Also, not safe for work, under most circumstances.

Okay, that Kenny. I know about him, I just didn't know he had a last name.

Why do you he's like Sean Bean? Sean's never been killed, AFAIK.

LOL

My wife is from Yorkshire. My father-in-law appears in a movie with Sean Bean. Yorkshire is a great place.

Game of Thrones is a pretty good point of reference for differences between the main regions of the UK.

Yorkshire is the North. Grim weather, everything's grey, best avoided.

The Yorkshireman: inexplicably proud of being from Yorkshire, bit of a throwback, naivety and unwillingness to play politics makes him a good patsy during your power struggles (RIP Sean Bean).

He dies in almost every roll he's played in, most notably as Boromir from Lord of the Rings and Ned Stark from GOT.

Though in later seasons, Kenny doesn't die near as much. Though, a few episodes actually do touch on the topic a bit.

Okay, gotcha now.

He died in Patriot Games, too. Although he survived Troy...:)

I've been to Yorkshire a bunch of times, mostly to York but also to Leeds. So I knows what I'm talking about, Po.

Yorkshire is east of Manchester so gets a low amount of rainful.

Sean Bean starred in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Game of Thrones, as well as gangland thriller Essex Boys.

My dad is one and he's a bit of a cunt.

Pretty sure I used to speak to a pedo from Leeds too so there's that.

They call windowsills "windowbottoms", probably to annoy people who aren't from Yorkshire. That and the Tesco in the middle of York is built over a medievel plague-pit.

Good luck!
