algy Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Heaven Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days. Eventually, the Archangel Gabriel found him, resting on the seventh day. He enquired of God, "Where have you been?" God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look Gabriel, look what I've made." Archangel Gabriel looked puzzled and said, "What is it?" "It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance." "Balance?" enquired Gabriel, still confused. God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth, "For example, North America will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while South America is going to be poor. Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people.," God continued, pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in ice." The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a small populated area in the land of Great Britain and said "What's that?" "Ah," said God. "That's Merseyside, the most glorious place on Earth. There's a beautiful river, glorious parks, and buildings, great music and world dominating football teams. The people from Liverpool are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelling the world as expatriats. They'll be extremely sociable, hard-working and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace." Gabriel gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there will be balance!" God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the lazy, arrogant, sod's I'm putting next to them in Manchester." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I have worked in the pool and found the people to be great, friendly and humorous! Wonderful people! I agree entirely Cleo, one aspect in favour of scousers is that they have a great sense of humour and the ability to laugh at themselves although that sense of humour can become very tiresome especially when you are delivering a pre-shutdown safety induction to a large group of scouse contractors hell bent on turning every subject into a joke.

wolfie Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 IMO I have yet to meet a scouser that can take a joke although they are very good at handing it out, and I still work in Liverpool off and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
