And that’s how they do it

Chav is appropriated by the power elite, used to demonise and ridicule the working class because they appeared to be forming an identity and coherence. They did it with shades and casuals they, did it with mods, they do it everytime the working classes start taking pride in themselves and their identity.

I haven’t read this whole thread, but given thatnhe admitted an error of judgement, is he going to pay back everything he avoided, since starting the scam scheme?

weird type feeling in my throat

Could just be acid reflux. Does it feel like you’ve just swallowed something which hasn’t quite gone down?

Get some cheap brown parcel tape in a reel from Poundland. Unwind it sticky-side-out around your hand. Dab and wipe the hairs off until they stop sticking to the tape, then discard

Almost right, except for the ‘discard’ bit. When the tape is hairy and no longer sticky, it can be used for some luxury stress relief.

Right, that’s what i thought. You are happy that you did the right thing. You did the right thing because you were too wimpy to do the other more physical thing which you would have preferred to do. So, you are happy that you were a wimp. I don’t mean that as a criticism.

Ooh no, not me. I’m not a hard man. I’m just trying to follow your reasoning.

Have you always had difficultirs reading?

No, it appears to be a very recent development.

I’m happy i’ve done the right thing on balance.

Wait, now you’re glad you’re a wimp?

neither just wish i wasnt built like a cyclist and could have given him the kicking he deserved. I have no doubt when i walk past tomorrow with the dog he will know exactly who called the police so it may not be over yet. I’d rather that than do nothing though.

It doesn’t matter how you are built, it doesn’t stop you from walking over there and kicking him in the same way he kicked the kid.

You seem agitated, do you need a hug?

Well, yes, unless you are nervous coming near someone who is agitated.

My wonderful lady’s on a train right now. And she is unquestionably the finest looking person on the planet.

You’re definitely on the wrong train.

Yeah, i’ve heard she rides the other train sometimes too

To be honest its shaken me up a bit. Had he kicked him again i’d have had to step in and would no doubt have got a kicking myself.

Yeah, sure.

What are you crying about,that you couldn’t fight him or you were too scared to take a punch or more in payment for making your point.

And those folks who think all bullies are cowards, really don’t know any proper bullies.

He’s been pretty withering about other people’s tax dealings in the past.

Has he ? Did anyone take him seriously ? I thought he was a comedian who told jokes ?

Often quite funny ones too.

If he’s trying to be a satirist, as it seems when he has a go at other people’s tax dealings, then he has to be above reproach on that score at least. cf Angus Deayton

Lloret?

He may have had MRSA for a while, only just recently identiied, has he had some intervention recently. Prognosis, depends largely on his general health. And to some degree on where the MRSA is. Its one of these bugs that lots of people carry, only gets you if you are very weak in other ways.

Usual caveat, not a doctor

Its a scam

Better safe then sorry, TJ.
Don’t die of embarrassment and all that.

Snob? How so? He asked about the bikes, those of us who remember them described them as we remember.

Gotta be some multi-touch integration thing

Links?

As i remember they were the lowest end 531 you could get weren’t they? Got you a 531 frame but everything else was poor.i think the forks weren’t even 531.

I guess a modern equivalent would be a new 531 or you could stil get a vintage carlton

I did that, they stopped

£40!!!?? They’re for my older daughter, not my favourite one.

You may not have noticed, that we’re not arguing anymore

i never knew my dad, anyone else the same?

I’m not sure, what did he look like?

Initially there were only 4Ps of marketing, but i think the extra ones were on a 3 for 2 offer.

Funny peculiar or funny ha ha?

If i had £50k squirreled away, why would i go back to the family??? 😀

I know, i could work it all out, but often these things settle at a price which is very different from initial calculations. Just wanted to hear what other experiences were.

It was the only tyre in the place, as he drove away, he noticed his other tyre was suspiciously in a similar condition to the one he replaced

But not ‘tyred’ enough, i would venture! Ho ho!

What ? No! Not at all.i just wanted to know where one could find an honest and reliable tyre fitter in the Dover area. Thanks!

I must do, that sounds like excellent service. I have a friend in Dover who needs a full set on his Saab. Near the ferry port you say. I’ll let him know, can you remember what it was called or a a more precise location?

That is very unusual, i’ve always been asked what brand or at least if i want budget, or not. I bet you were overcharged and it took ages

He didn’t ask you what kind of tyre you wanted?

I’m obviously not an accountant thought so don’t know how benefits in kind e.t.c would come into this.

Oooh! Would they pay for that too?

Junkyard – lots and lots of phrases where I qualify the absolute. even in your quote most people would not take “bugger all” as absolute zero would they?

Sammo: Hey! How much sex have you had with Cameron Diaz?
Junkyard: Bugger all!
Sammo: You lucky dawg!

They’d probably be glad of the break! 🙄

So anyway……I told the 17th National Congress of the Party “we need to take the opportunity to dispel the notion of the Dalai Lama as a benign teddy bear”. And it seemed to go down rather well.

Is that our hero, Hitch I see there?

I’m seeing a general trend appearing here. Family life is good at the moment, but with 2 young kids 9ish, it would entail a big lifestyle change.

I know, but I do think I/we need to take the opportunity to dispel the notion of the Dalai Lama as a benign teddy bear.

That’s 3 good insights, in reality 2 days would more likely be 2 nights, I need to do 2 full days and report in on time each day. but block booking might drop prices. Trains look expensive, no matter how far ahead one books, so far. Driving is agood option, but it is 5 hours, the train is 4 hours, but i could get work done there.
