Most Ghanaians support one of the devilsome duo of Chelsea or Man Utd. However, my heart leapt with joy at the sight of a bicycling local man in a circa 2006 Jambos top. Unfortunately I have no photographic evidence of this yet.
Lovers of Gaelic football will be dismayed by this photo of kenti weaver Kofi of Cape Coast, clearly led astray by a bogman from south-west Ireland. I informed him of the error of his ways. Evin – a consignment of Dubs tops would be a worthwhile investment…
Mully,
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the updates. Perhaps you could find out if the use of phrase below (see link) has managed to make its way west from Nigeria. If not, I think you should attempt to have a Scottish football related phrase of your choice entered into Ghanaian parlance by the time of your departure?

I thought 'Dundee Utd' was slang for 'idiot' in every country? I'll work on 'sick as a parrot' being incorporated as the standard Twi for disappointment. Other suggestions on a postcard please...
