McClaren Meets Bielsa 

just one of the foods encompassed in the Burnley way. Bread, pasta, spuds... Pie, pancakes, fudge

@@mcallisterwill good point, I stand corrected!

He is the Jersey Royal!

The most important pie ingredient is potato

it's not a simile.

@@smoosev89 Well, Bob's explicitly comparing the moment to the phenomenon of every monkey in the world shitting a banana. Surely that makes it a simile!

@@slacknhash no then thats a metaphore.. a similie is "as big as a..." or "it was big like a..."

@@smoosev89 The form of a simile isn't limited to 'as as a ' or ' like a '. As long as there's a comparison between what happened and something else, then it's a simile. A metaphor doesn't use comparitive language. A metaphor occurs when a phrase is used to describe something that isn't literally applicable to the situation in question. If Bob had said 'there was such joy that every monkey in the world had shat a banana' then that would have been a metaphor. Assuming for the moment that not every monkey had shat a banana, of course. For all we know, they might have done. But he doesn't. He says it's *as if* every monkey in the world had shat a banana. Comparing the joy in the McClaren household to billions of monkeys, all of them shitting out of a banana. The comparison makes it a simile.

I disagree with you, and what I learned in school and Google backs me up
