Get the Burnley Purse mug.A town in Lancashire, NW England. Unfortunately has had some bad press recently, particularly about the large BNP presence/racial problems and social deprivation in the town.
The truth is that Burnley is OK as a place but has just suffered from economic recession over the last two decades and needs a large employer or perhaps a big happening culturally to help it out.
Sure, you get some absolute scumbags who will beat anything up that walks at night, but most of the people are good, honest, genuine Northerners. Oh, they are in the 21st century as well - all this bollocks about us "pointing at planes" (?) etc. is just a stereotype as inaccurate as saying "all turks are violent." I can't remember the last time I saw a whippet or flat cap in the town.
Can I add the number of BNP voters - scarcely over 4,000 at the last election - wouldn't even fill a stand at the ground of Burnley's rather good football club.
Sure, there are racists, but hardly any more than in other UK towns. Well, I hope so - that'll be put to the test over the next few years. But I'm keeping my chin up.

Get the Burney mug.Describes the action of 3 friends (Usually highschool age) sneaking back into one of their houses after a night of debauchery. The defining characteristic being that 1 of the 3 friends is completely black out drunk, this individual is shit faced past the point of executing the most basic of motor functions. While they are still breathing, with a very low pulse, no visible signs of life remain. The 2 friends of lesser drunkness carry out the task of lifting, dragging, pulling, and pushing him/her through a window designated as the most undetectable entry point. If any authoritative figures happen to wake up and catch them, they must quickly straiten "Burneys" Raybands and put on a skillful puppeteers act which successfully fools the authority figure. They then place "Burney" on his side and pass out. This word was inspired by the movie "Weekend at Burneys".
"Bro you should'a been there, he was so drunk that we had to dislocate his left shoulder to get him through the sneak-in window. THEN, we created the illusion of full mobility and mental lucidity by skillfully conducting his legs, arms, torso and head movement, I even had to throw my voice a few times. It was a real Sneak-in at Burneys.
