“xxx crossed from the left wing, but yyy shit across the face of the goal.”

Now you can’t tell me that that one wasn’t either put in on a porpoise, or deliberately not spotted.

I’d have done it deliberately… too good a chance to miss really.

Don’t worry chaps and chapesses, you can cunt on me.

There had been a society divorce the type we all love to get the juicy bits from. It had just been announced that the relationship was over and the Mirror screamed out

“Count sues for divorce. Wife’s link with @&@&@ blamed”

Simple enough. The page was set made up and put to bed the Sheffield Edition was printed and dispatched safely from St Pancras and the duty editorial team buggered off to the Wig and Pen for the odd sniffter only be be pursued by a lowly copy boy who had collected the run proofs…the first off the presses …and taken them up to the subs’ table via his tea break.

It was only then, and far too late, it was spotted that the O in COunt had been missed out by a bleary-eyed or Bolshevik compositor.

The end of many a glittering career that.
The Motto. The bugger they are the hrader two spit.

..and before the Daily Mirror attempts to sue…it happened well before even my time so live with it.

Bloody cheating that, putting it in bold ….
