When I was at college I shared a house with a lad from Cheshire who was a Liverpool supporter, but despite that terrible character flaw he was a good bloke and we’re still friends today. Back then one of our favourite tv shows was Alan Bleasdale’s Liverpudlian comedy/drama “Scully” whose expression “DOUBLE YESSS!!” became a bit of a college-years catchphrase for us (ah, students). The show had a really terrific theme song by Elvis Costello — who also had a bit part in it as Scully’s retarded cousin — which ended up on the b-side of “I Wanna Be Loved” even though I think it was a much better record.

Pity it’s about a Liverpool supporter though. Come on you Blues!!!!!!!

In case you’ve forgotten all about “Scully”, here’s a reminder.
