Yesterday in a local supermarket in rural Lincolnshire I overheard the following......
Middle aged man inadvertently blocked the path of a young lady with his shopping trolley.
" Ooops sorry sweetheart".
"That is alright love".
Made my day, I thought nice to know that odious Political Correctness has not percolated to this corner of the UK yet.
Unless he slapped her on the arse or gave her a job based on the fact she's hot I'm not really sure why PC has much to do with it.0 -

Did her eyes cross and then pull a funny face?
I can't help you on that one. It was flying rather fast and may in any case have been a male.
Anyway it certainly ain't summery but then it is only Friday.
I think crumb was talking about a different kind of burd.0 -

OMG! That is disgusting :shock: Mouth, soap, now :arrow:0 -

Reminds me of the stripper with a tattoo on her arse
“What’s that tattoo?” asks a punter
“It’s a swallow” replies the stripper “And don’t ask, I don’t!!”0 -
A few from this morning:
The sound of a woodpecker pecking at a tree
Running in pouring rain - I like running on bright, crisp days too but for some reason I find the rain refreshing. I hate cycling in the rain though!
Jumping in a hot bath after being outdoors for a few hours in said rain.0 -

I love all physical activities during the rain, cycling, running, rugby, there’s something quite intensifying about peering through narrowed eyes in the pissing down rain!0 -
Borrowed a garden shredder from a friend. What would have been a car load for the dump is shredded and in a neighbour’s green wheelie bin. With their permission I might add.0

Not the much maligned shouty Saffer surely?0 -
No, although they do have one and are on holiday so I could have. Most of our neighbours I get on with.Ballysmate wrote:Not the much maligned shouty Saffer surely?0 -
If an illegal immigrant had a fight with a paedophile would it be called Alien vs Predator ?Always be yourself, unless you can be Aaron Rodgers....Then always be Aaron Rodgers.0

Happening upon a Youtube of the Pink Floyd Live8 performance and recalling watching it at the time with my then 14yo daughter when she turned to me during 'Comfortably Numb' and said "yeah, I see what you mean". Happy days.0

Perhaps we should lobby the IOC to make hand wringing an Olympic sport. Readers of The Guardian would share the medals.
I say 'share the medals' as I'm sure they would not want any winners nor losers.0 -

As you can see I'm currently doing my best to stop the dripping, but I feel like the proverbial little Dutch boy with his finger in a dyke. Sounds quite appropriate somehow?Ballysmate wrote:Stevo 666 wrote:Ballysmate wrote:Perhaps we should lobby the IOC to make hand wringing an Olympic sport.

I'm pretty sure that in 12 months time they will be forming a queue at Beachy Head.0 -
Seriously? Do you really think anyone would defend paedophilia? Some people may believe trying to get away from persecution and trying to get a better life isn't a crime in the same way as kiddy fiddling is.Ballysmate wrote:

Yes, I generally respect Ballysmate, even if I disagree with him on most things I think he's honest and tries to play the ball rather than the man, but that really is a tw*ttish thing to say.0 -

Seriously?
I would hope not. But my comment was what I believed to be a light hearted retort to Orraloon who had equated kiddy fiddling with illegal immigration in the minds of Mail readers, to which you seem to give a pass. He implied that readers of that paper would perhaps back an illegal immigrant against a paedophile.
Didn't mean to cause you such offence as I didn't realise you read the Guardian.

Given the fact that the average Daily Mail reader (judging by the ones I have met in real life, and the comments section under any article about refugees) would happily send asylum seekers back to their deaths, I don't think orraloon's post was particularly unfair. OTOH, I'm pretty sure that people from across the political spectrum despise the sexual abuse of children.0 -
Asylum seeker does not equal illegal immigrant does it?
Mind you, perhaps it does in some newspapers 0 -

You're right, my mistake. :oops:0 -
Why was my comment regarded as twattish* and Orraloon's not?
He implied that Mail readers would find it difficult to champion a paedo over an illegal immigrant.
I replied that a Guardian reader would find it difficult to identify a lesser cause, which amounts to the same thing.
Funny old world.
Edit *Tw*ttish0 -
Some people see them all as the same thing, what was it Katie Hopkins described boat loads of migrants as? She certainly doesn't seem to classify immigrants as human. Unfortunately some people believe what she spouts. I had to listen to someone droning on about asylum seekers taking all the jobs and illegal immigrants getting houses on benefits and taking all the money. After a bit more of his dribbling I worked out he was complaining about eastern Europeans, so perfectly legal economic migrants. He then finished his rant with "if it gets any worse I'm moving to France" not realising that makes him the same as the people he was complaining about. This bloke lived near Clacton, are there that many immigrants in Clacton? I doubt it, he's just a bigoted tw@.Ballysmate wrote:Asylum seeker does not equal illegal immigrant does it?

I didn't think you were entirely serious, but that was a bit much. With respect to Orraloon's comment, I didn't think it was out of order as the Mail and it's readers vilify both groups equally. I know you will take a cheap shot as a bit of a wind up, but that one was unreasonable.0 -

Why is my post unreasonable and Orraloon's not we both basically posted the same thing?0
