Sounds like the same thing I thought it was then....but I like to call it trimet*********ine...(masked for those who are still enjoying the challenge of working it out!)

Oh yeah and I am from travelling stock (grandmother was Romani)......I wish folks would stop being so PC. Clearly not every thief in the world is a traveller (some surely are), and I think it was pretty obvious that was not the boys intention.

Political correctness is in my opinion the lowest form of prejudice. Making an effort not to say something is in my opinion just as bad.

I love the smell of 1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione in the morning!

Maybe but times and language change, so not appropriate anymore. There are thousands of other words in the english language, use some ot them instead.

ianment - interesting to see you make a fuss on this thread. You kept quiet about the derogatory things that were said about Germans in the thread about the German driving his camper van down the A40 last week. Maybe you think it's ok to be rude provided you're not being rascist?

We get a lot of pikey scum round our way and one of them tried to give chase on a gas pipe special after I shouted at him to stop weaving down the middle of the road at 5 mph when I was trying to get past him :roll:

Please don't assume that everyone who cycles slowly and with less skill than you on a cheap, heavy bike is unwashed, thieving, pikey scum.
Although, perhaps on Button Moon, they probably are.

It's not a question of being "PC". "Pikey" is an abusive, derogatory term and is not acceptable in a civilised discussion.

If you want to see where this leads and why it has to be challenged, you don't have to look as far back as Germany under Hitler; just have a look at what is happening in Italy today.

Is there anyone who hasn't worked out what my Avatar is?

Personally I don't tolerate any of that chloroalkane extracted vacuum submilated sh!t.

Just troll it mate, who gives a crap if some pedestrian has to jump out of the way or a car has to slam on its brakes? You'll get there faster.

I beg to differ! Everyone who cycles slowly is an unwashed, thieving, pikey scum.

I have a particular interest in this particular prejudice, I think the Germans are able to look after themselves. Anyway I don't think anti German is racist, nationalist yes but not racist. I don't like any unnecessary rudeness but consider racism worse.

As to that particular thread not sure I took more than a cursory look at it. Anyway it would be a huge task to challenge absolutely everything that's offensive on this or on the web in general, way beyond me. So I pick and choose, sorry if this dilutes my effectiveness in your eyes.

I guessed bacon, but I'm now guessing from "chloroalkane extracted vacuum submilated sh!t" that I'm wrong.
