Liverpool-Friendly


Two nights ago I watched Liverpool v. Galatasarai at a pub. It was the first time I actually went to an English pub to watch football and it couldn't have been better. I avoided the previous night's mistake and went to a non quiz-friendly and smoking-allowed pub with about one large-screen wherever you directed your gaze at. And also a couple of projectors. People started showing up about 45 minutes before kick-off and I was quite amazed to see people at Manchester walking up and down Oxford road wearing a Liverpool shirt with the name "Gerrard" and number 8 typed on the back. Since I was working until 7, I went to the pub by myself. My mates would come later on. By the time the game had started the pub was foul of Englishmen having a laugh and a beer. The second surprising incident I encountered was when Galatasarai had their first good shot of the game. There were some people cheering for the turkish team. "Hmmm, Turks... " I thought and kept on watching the game.
As time passed by and Galatasarai had more and more chances, I realized that there weren't so many turks I thought, but rather some Manchester United fans that would cheer for any team but Liverpool. The amazing thing was that not once did a Liverpool fan swear or whatever to a Manchester United fan or vise versa. Especially during the last minutes that the whole game was hanging by a single thread and everyone was quite emotional. People were just enjoying the game the way it is supposed to be enjoyed.

I can definitely say it: It was one of the best football nights ever... Until the next one, I guess.


I returned home having the munchies and decided to have a tuna. The container usually says stuff like "Suitable for Vegeterians" and "Very hot".

This time it read "Dolphin Friendly".

What did this mean??? Why would someone appreciate a product that says "Dolphin-Friendly"??? And what was dolphin-friendly?

1. The container was dolphin friendly. So if you happen to throw it to the sea after you have eaten the tuna, the container was only made out of ingedients made of substances that are hurtful to the dolphins' enemies

2. The specific tuna in the container was quite friendly towards the dolphins and wanted everyone to know by writing it on his tombstone

3. Being a dolphin maybe something like being a "fruit" in sea-talk. So, the specific tuna (or even maybe the flock of tunas that was captured) was dolphin friendly as in gay-friendly.

I can think of a lot different interpretations of the "dolphin-friendly" thing, but I honestly can't think of a reasonable one.
