I am a buffoon on occasion - mainly when in drink due to the stress of my profession. I am not a Pub balloon however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the worst of the lot. They hate everyone - even other chinks from down the road. I am not racist - except to some of them. Folk like Sue or that lass with the semi-bald barnet from Rice and Easy are alreet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting proposition. But must these honkeys be hung like donkeys? The mind boggles with these conundrums. I think Inner City Sumo has legs - cheap, could do it in a pub carpark.

I'm not a twat normally - but have to pull rank on occasion. Not to you in particular but others who besmirch me as a pisshead buffoon when I am, in reality, a highly respected professional. Which should negate your need to say it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lexicon will have to be severly curtailed to remove references to colours and words which some utterly stupid busybody with nothing better to do has been able to demonstrate that even the mildest offence could be taken by following some convoluted route or other. I am just waiting for the equal and opposite reaction when the silent majority finally decides enough is enough and (figuratlvely speaking) stomp on these time wasting trouble makers and give them the short shrift they deserve. A good conventional war required to focus minds and eradicate the bullshit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 He's funny but a twat. Does in 12 pints a night. And takes the piss out of the very people that bankroll his Islington utopia. Thinks he's cleverer than he is. He'll be dead by 60. Not Bolty, Lee. And he's made some utter crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent_white Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Apparently I can't say "gip" anymore as in "ripoff" as it's to do with gypsies.

In the early 80s I can well remember a similar phrase "I'm sure I've just been jewed by that shopkeeper" It's political correctness gone mad I tell ya!
