This is the area where I will put the my world to
rights!
The phrase “miserable old git” was coined by a dear old friend’s daughter during one of our many drunken sessions, in his den listening to music, whilst we put the world on an even keel.
And, yes, it was (and still is) used as a form of self-deprecating humour.
The main point to remember is that these pages are a means for me to let-off steam, and perhaps, shouldn’t be taken too seriously!
Well, my friend has sadly died, but the term has stuck!
Even my lovely wife will sometimes jokingly refer to me as “a miserable old git” when I have the urge to have a whinge. Believe me, because English is not her first language, it is often vocalized in a rather funny manner.
My friend has gone, it looks like I just have you now?
If you are willing to listen/read (though the conversation might be a bit one-sided). ;-)
Here we go -
