This thread is at cross purposes, Brothers. It's clearly Geronto's fault.

Not cool, not in any way, shape or form: cool. And he was only an hour from landing in Milan... my fucking Dawk: those Italians's do some classy racism.

I wasn't talking about Balotelli.

Another day, another "incident".

Milan have denied reports in Italy that Mario Balotelli was fined after becoming involved in an argument with police having parked illegally at the city's Linate airport on Thursday.

Balotelli, who was collecting friends, was told to move his car by traffic wardens when he stopped in a no-parking zone. He initially appeared to do so, but, say reports, "he was only pretending", and immediately parked illegally again – leading to a "heated row" with two passing police officers.

Milan, though, say "normal checks" were carried out on Balotelli's car, and that "there was no argument" with the officers who challenged him.

I wonder if Liq can get in on this Balotelli Beat action. Seems like a potential earner.

There's still an ocean of difference between the two euphemisms in terms of offence intended.

Not even sure why I'm posting this.

you can say one on the telly, and the radio, but definitely not the other.

The jumping the shark call was brought to you by someone making fat Americans jokes in their location.

Yeah, sorry. Leap first, think second. Although "reading others's posts, late" is a helpful assist (for my posts). Don't blame me, and PLEASE call me Ger/minge. It saves your fingers.

Bitch.

What do you reckon, Harry? Cunt, twat or fanny?

If it were up to me, I'd suggest minge.

I'll settle for that.

You're right, as usual. I had the feeling I was overlooking someone.

Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere (I couldn't find anything), but surely he's doing this stuff on the dubious advice of a publicist?

I just read that the fine for smoking on a train in Italy is seven euros. If that's right, I'm surprised he didn't give the conductor a ten-euro note and tell him to keep the change.

Bear in mind you can racially abuse someone on an Italian train and get fined 5 euros, so the smoking punishment is actually quite harsh by comparison.
