I think the colour is to do with the shirt rather than the skin. Loads of ‘white collar’ workers leaving. It’s a bit like when Pulis left with his white trainers

Now Peters life intrigues me as I knew a part Indian girl called Virginia when I was a mere slip of a lad.

Beef, so a black person in a "white collar" job who decides to move because he/she can afford it would be described as "white flight"?


Do me a favour!

Sorry but that’s a bit racist

You were

LOL. That is my wife's name.

Also, Pocahontas was an injun from Virginia. It took just one look at the Medway towns to make her drop dead.

Things that annoy me? The slavish fawning over "Banksy". 16 million pounds for the latest pile of turd.

"Former BBC arts editor Will Gompertz wrote at the time that he believed Love is in the Bin would go on to be seen as "one of the most significant artworks of the early 21st Century".It is not a great painting that can be compared to a late Rembrandt, or a sculpture to sit alongside Michelangelo's David, but in terms of conceptual art emanating from [Marcel] Duchamp's Dadaist sensibility, it is exceptional".

Do me a favour.

I thought this level of ignorance and butthurt reaction was only available on Faceache.

I can't insult you anymore than you are already doing to yourself.

I know people who sold up businesses and moved on from Thornton Heath exactly because the area had turned too ethnic for them. On the High Street, the barbers and a deli of sorts. They told me why they were moving.

At least they were honest about it, unlike some.

I don’t think his artwork has increased in value - the pound has just declined a lot

LinkedIn* - recruiters sending you jobs that show they clearly haven't looked at what you do. Thank you, but I'm not currently interested in the role that would take me 15 years back in my career and halve my salary.


*I appreciate I could have stopped at this point and the post would still have been as valid.**

**I also appreciate this is all a bit first world problems

But is she a Croydon gal?

F*ck me, do you read what you post?


Just because you consort with racists doesn't mean you have to become one but you obviously have!

Just Gormless being gormless.
On a positive note he didn't litter his post with sweary words or sign off with his customary :D
Must have remembered to take his meds today.

F*ck off you c*nt! :D

That’s a big gammon

It is indeed :)

Over 50 years on, we still fawn slavishly over THAT save he made from Pele and you're annoyed????:wallbash:

People who drive on clear main roads with full beam lights on.

Maz, you are a f*cking tosser! :jerkit:

I thought you were a pretentious intellectual but it's plain you're simply a pretentious c*nt! :D

People who call Gibbons monkeys. They are small apes. Get it right

Discovering TFL charges to my bank card in places I have not been to. I think some fecker may have cloned my card grrr

Yes, surely tinned gammon would have sufficed.

It annoys me that Pele appears to remember every goal he ever scored, even on the beach, the playground, and playing 3 and in in the back garden with his grand kids, and they all should be included in his career record;)

LOL - sounds like someone from Croydon :)

It’s quite pathetic really, the way he desperately clings on to his ‘record.’

I heard they all packed up and moved to the nearly all white village that you live in. All around the same time.

The myth is that when Lautaro killed the conquistidor Pedro de Valdivia, he cut out his heart and ate it to symbolise destroying the heart of colonial power in Chile. It didn't quite work out like that in the end. Although, the Spanish never did conquer that part of the world.

That happened in the 1850s and onwards when the Chilean government offered land to Germans and others to colonise the area. Principally to stake a claim to it before Argentina could. It was called the Pacification. The same happened in Argentina, but the president there just sent troups to slaughter the indians - rightly or wrongly thinking they were working at the behest of Chile.

On that note, my wife is much happier, and she just brought me some pineapple sponge cake.

Very pleased to hear this; cake is a great pacifier of the human soul.

See, your patience was justly rewarded :)

Florida deserves you.

I read somewhere pineapple sponge cake is perfect to mask the taste of arsenic!

We sold our house due to Covid and did alright too as property prices in the U.S. are going crazy! :D

Why are you continually behaving like a wanker?

It's annoying.

Unfortunately, when Peter's esposa gets annoyed with him, (which seems rather frequently) he seems to take it out on the residents of Blighty who he, (while he educates them about Co-Vid) has christened Plague Islanders.
Meanwhile, as himself and the Senora lovingly make up by spoon feeding one another large gob fulls of sponge cake, the British residents of the BBS have to live shamefully with the stigma.

Is Gor blimey really this thick?

Is Wolfnipplechips a complete arsehole?

The sycophantic & obsequious reaction to the latest self-indulgent, irritating warbling from Adele.

Halloween.

Is she the fat one who got thin, and had her first hit with that stalky song?

No idea. I feel like I’m supposed to know these people but I thought Ed Sheehan was the guy in Harry Potter

The bloke who played Tony Blair/ Brian Clough? He is annoying

Michael Sheen? Terrific actor.

She'd hardly be the first person to write a stalking song. There are loads.

How my poor heart aches

I agree, shame about the binges though

It seems that Chile has some issues which The Plague Islands have not yet encountered (from the Economist):

Problems with the Indians? How?

Didn't the Economist also mention that Pres Piñera will probably get impeached due to info that emerged from the Pandora papers?

The British Empire and its colonists deffo knew the way to avoid future problems with redskins.

I think they were a little less shit than the actual yanks (who were generally huns and dagoes and other undesirables). This was probably only because they never got the chance to expand westwards, mind you. I dunno if they would of been quite as genocidal as your lot in the Argentine though.

You should be ashamed of yourself for that one, but not as ashamed as me since I actually done a lol.

Are you suggesting there might be doubt?

Pineapple Upside Down cake. I am still here to the chagrin of my pinked up detractors.

Finally, someone who gets it.

How are the case numbers?

Thick as in stupid, or of the neck, or both?

Takes a while for the pinkness to creep over those rolls of neck fat and climb up and over the bald pate.

But the site of the veins standing to attention and the eyes out on stalks, really is worth the wait.

Do you not think abot stepping back and considering your options?

You should be able to draw one of two conclusions......

1) Almost the entire BBS is a combo of wankers, arseholes and c units.

2) You are the wanker, arsehole and c unit.


You could blissfully accept number 2) and continue, but why would you waste your time if 1) is your conclusion.

HTH

TBF my BBS buddies, this is akin to foxhunting and bager baiting as far as fair sport goes.

I might have mentioned this.

Pay attention at the back of the class.

And the shining beacon that is The Economist is a long way from painting the full story in that snippet.

Or in India, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, China etc..

And breathe.

Off to the beach for a nice lunch.

watch out for them marauding Mapuches

The cruel yellow heathen chinee were/are jolly good at slaughtering each other without any help from the west or east, although both did join in with gay abandon when possible.

Tinsel wrapped all around the edge of a TV screen. At any time, but especially in mid-October

No, I'm not anti-vax( before some gallant refugee from the Political forum comes jumping in) but there's some interesting numbers here.
On Sept 21, 2021 Waterford in Ireland had double vaxed 99.7% of its over 18 population.
On Oct 11, 2021 it had the highest co-vid rate in the whole of Ireland.

They were only vaccinated with red diesel though.

Maybe U18s can catch it?

That's why South Armagh has the lowest rates in the world.:)

Just realized I put that post on the wrong thread. Was meant for the experts on the Cov thread not the good people who get annoyed at things.

That West Country Boy seems to be allowed to post his little racist epithets with impunity.

:D

Ah, good old Bandit Country, home of ordinary decent farmer and confirmed bachelor Slab Murphy.

The home.of the super sniper.

He's just a daft little honky.

Jerry Sadowitz was right about you moosef~ckers.

I reckon you're right there, Butler has ****ed a few mooses in his time and he went to Canadia.

(Hopefully this hasn't set Jonboy off with a fit of The Vapours.)

Perhaps he's turning Japanese?

I set 'em up...

Jeez, really? Being double vaccinated doesn't necessarily stop you getting it. But in most cases, it will stop you getting seriously ill or dying from it. Possibly helps against Long Covid as well. It's not a magic bullet.

Nice. Leave some food and drink for the other beachgoers though

Nobody said it is, except some members of the medical field when it was first introduced. There was a lot of 'Possiblys' thrown about. It's just remarkable that a county can go from having the best double vax rate in the country and within a month have the highest rate of infection. That's all.

that 99.7% looks unrealistic though. Typo?

I thought the same when I heard it. As I was with the story, then I looked it up. That's over 18's, so I'm guessing many of the recent infections have been u-18's.

Just got back to this. Very good

:)

The BBS.

What’s it done now ? ? ;)

Sunk to a new low. :)

Oh god Trolly mk2 isn’t back is he ?

That could explain Pete’s sticky keyboard.

“I really think so”

Is it?
I think the vaccinations, while amazing for all of us, have probably led to some complacency, based on the assumption you originally outlined. Which is irritating. We've had flu vaccines for years, so you'd think most people would know the limitations.

Someone won £184m on the Euromillions tonight. It wasn't me.

I will leave it on a kitchen worktop to fester.

Podcast and you tube channels that decide to make content "patreon only" .

Yes I am, and no I won’t.





This is probably the hundredth version of the same post. You’re all equally culpable for state of the thread, along with Blind (and now including myself) and all the others who insist we must read their self-righteous sermons on thread derailment… on a topic about a murdered MP.

Channel 4 are advertising a series of programmes under the banner of "Climate Matters". TFL advertising that "Every Journey Matters".

It's lazy, lazy advertising. It dilutes any effectiveness. It's annoying (a bit).

Isn’t that just two different definitions of the word ‘matters’? The first physical substance and the second importance? The first could be both and a play on words but the second is just referring to every journey having importance.

Hadn't analysed it that deeply tbh. Just thought that they are very obvious tie ins to Black Lives Matters and effectively stealing the tag line merely detracts from the original. It's the lack of original thought in the advertising that I find annoying (a bit).

‘Climate matters’ pre dates either. I remember reading and using the term over two decades ago when studying geography. When used then it didn’t mean ‘the climate does matter’ as a call to action; it meant ‘discuss all things climate related here’.

That just puts you in a bad light.

I am happy to accept that you are better than most of the participating BBS, despite clear evidence to the contrary.
