Freddie Starr is Bobby Davro's dad.

 

I only recently realised that you can keep chickens and get eggs without having to buy a cockerel.

 

All the goodness of eggs without the 5am cocka doodle doo.

I used to think loin chops were lion chops.

 

I only found out, last week, that they weren't.

 

I'm still not convinced.

[BillShankly]

I used to believe there was once a mannie who split himself open after belly flopping off the diving boards at bon accord baths. Until i was about 17.

 

Also, not all scousers are w*nkers. Majority yes, but hey ho.

When I was younger I used to think I had some sort of super-power when I was having de ja vu.

I also used to think that black people had white palms simply because of wear and tear and the fact your hands and feet are always in contact with something.

 

Weird.

[amancalledbuck]

I used to think twitter was rubbish.

I used to think twitter was rubbish.

 

 

That isn't a misconception. It is rubbish. With bells on.

[amancalledbuck]

You wouldn't say that if you were friends with Cheggers.

[boboisared]

Somebody told me at school that black people were good at long distance running because they were used to running from bombs

This is a thread for misconceptions Bri.

My ex girlfriend only reecently worked out that in football, the goalkeepers are actually part of the team. She thought they were impartial.

I used to think that you could say anything you wanted to, on Internet messageboards.

Ludicrous, only a moron would think such outrageously stupid thoughts.

[amancalledbuck]

I know.

 

I'm sorry.

I used to think the radio in our kitchen had records in it when I was a kid.

I used to think that your stomach was the whole bottom half of your body, from your chest down to your abdomin and that it filled up slowly with food over the course of your life and that when it filled to the top it died.

 

I used to imagine how full up people's stomach's were depending on how old they were. Children obviously had hardly any food in theirs, but old people's were nearly full.

That's just daft.

[Ke1t]

i used to think that nothing could hurt me, that I was immune to any kind of serious injury or accident.

 

Then I put my car through a tree, on through a garden wall, and into some auld dear's garden, destroying my car and nigh on killing myself in the process.

 

So it turns out I AM invincible.

 

Oh, that's not really a misconception though, is it, that's more confirmation of my own indestructibility.

 

Misconceptions you say... eeeeeeehmmmm.......

 

I used to think that Aberdeen was always going to be a force in Scottish football, and that league and cup wins were just a routine thing. I used to laugh at clubs like Morton and Partick Thistle, with their struggling to stave off relegation every season nonsense....

[BrianFaePerth]

Eh once got it on wi a lovely wee burd who loved it all ways. It wis jist a wee fling but suddenly eh got a call fae her a few weeks later (aye, eh gave her meh real number ) saying she suspected she had a bun in the oven. This wasnae good news for a young stud about town like mehself.

 

Thankfully it was a false alarm, a missed conception.

[Henry]

I used to think black comedies had to have blacks in them.

[daytripping]

As a nipper I once heard on the news that Guerillas had attacked a bus in Africa somewhere, I thought it was Gorilla's and did for a long time, in the seventies Guerrillas were in the news always up to something so I had this vision of Gorilla's bombing road blocks and hijacking planes etc...

 

This was the same age that Planet of the Apes was a regular on telly!

[Ando]

As a young lad being dragged around town by my mum while she did her weekly shopping, we'd often walk past the entrance to the local Salvation Army. Every time my fertile young imagination would light up at the thought of a big army assault course out behind the building and loads of soldiers running around firing weapons and blowing things up. It was some years later before the truth dawned one day...

[tightbreeks]

If you untie your belly button, your bum falls off.

[Betty Swallicks]

Its a popular misconception that we haven't seen anything yet!

[ebbe]

i thought it was captain birdseye that sung the national anthem before games.

[Nespa]

When i was young i thought 7up was called Zup.

 

also when mobile phones came out i thought you slide the top up card in the phone.

[Betty Swallicks]

I thought only the fish lorries were called "Artics" as they had to keep the fish cold.

F**kin hell, same here - on both counts.

That you would continue living until you were shot, killed or died in an accident.
