Ridiculously good in This Is England, and even better by itself!

Thumbs up if David Morrissey sent you here!

I really like Gavins take on this. It's not too whiney, as I find many versions to be, but it's kind of mellow, almost apathetic. Like things went from shit to bad and that's better than it's ever been before.

@stupidintellect90 Amen. To be honest, that "plunker" definition will have been made up by some kid in his bedroom. Either way, it sounds like a good thing to be! Haha.

[stupidintellect90]

@UnderTheAffluence Thanks. taking offence too easily get's you no where, it's a harsh world out there, it'll take more than a youtube comment to get me angry.

I retract what I just said about us being all plunkers, even if I didn't mean it. I honestly thought plunker meant something on the lines of plonker, but having read ALfaDuB101's defintion, I'm left feeling slightly sick. Who the hell are these women with weird poo-related fantasies!?

[UnderTheAffluence]

@stupidintellect90 God bless your sense of humour. :)

[UnderTheAffluence]

@ALfaDuB101 Wow. I wasn't expecting that. I'm really sorry. Haha

[stupidintellect90]

@UnderTheAffluence Haha...nicely recovered. I'm going to let you off there because you made me laugh. We're all plunkers then. Hooray for the plunkers.

[ALfaDuB101]

@UnderTheAffluence haha positive lol i googled the meaning of plunker and the top link was urban dictionary,

PLUNKER:Someone that enjoys giving head to guys while they are taking a shit. while doing so they can hear the shit hit the water, hence the name plunker

Baxter: That nasty bitch Amanda gave me a plunker last night, and said she liked the way it smelled!

[UnderTheAffluence]

@stupidintellect90 I believe I said "plunker", which is actually a positive thing. Well done you... Cough...

[stupidintellect90]

@UnderTheAffluence I do mean David Morissey. He tweeted this link. Plonker no more, eh?
