just curious

You are quite correct. I wasn't for a minute saying diddles wasn't employed therefore he has no opinion. But, hey, if that's what enhances Youri Djorkaeff's argument, making mischief from other folks' comments then let him go for it.

 

Here's my opinion: Youri, you're trying to find trouble where there is none. Diddles certainly doesn't need you to stand his corner. In fact, I value his opinion far more than I do Yours.

 

 

Damning

 

 

Time to go, our Youri

Still one mans view of life in a short moment in time. Rodger Federer wasn't even born when Graham Greene wrote the Third Man!

Anyway, go and read Pax Britannica to see why Britains military might was so important in the worlds history.

 

The Rodger Federer comment was a joke case you couldn't tell. Can i just say that i never based my opinion on the British Empire on George Orwell. They just gave me an idea of what life was like for most Brits back then. Whilst we were out conquering the world our own county wasn't exactly the pinacle of justice and equality. Britain's military might may been important for world history but that doesn't mean it was a good thing for world history. Anyhow I do love a good recommendation, i will give it a read.

Easy tiger, I don't think Micky is belittling Diddles's occupation. I think he's merely trying to get him to tell the class what he now does for a living.

 

.. and as for your 6 months on the dole, if the 6 months was your choice as you simply couldn't be arsed working, then at the time I'm sure a lot of folk wouldn't be interested in your opinion in the slightest.

 

Even if i did misunderstand Micky's comment you show exactly what i was getting at.

 

I didn't know what the fook to do with my life back then so i volunteered at a couple of places and took some time to figure shit out.

 

If "folk" on this site wouldn't have the balls to be interested in someones opinion because they took some time out of working then thats pretty depressing to be fair.

have you ever posted owt about football?

Feel sure he posted about the players union somewhere.

I never said opinions were based on employment status, you did. What I did do, however, was pick a hole in one of Diddles' posts because he implicated that the extra day off work was the only bonus he saw in celebrating the life of our Queen. My point was that every day was a day off if you don't actually work.

The point was that he (Didds) is famed for chucking in a perfectly good decorating apprenticeship many years ago, before you even ventured onto this site. He has never, to my knowledge, indicated that he was, once again, in gainful employment. Now, so you don't come back and say it has fuck all to do with me whether a poster was employed or otherwise, I fully agree with you. I do, however, think that if my employment status was often the butt of many jokes or comments on here, and then that status changed, I'd reply in a manner that let other posters know I was no longer unemployed.

Just in case you hadn't realised, Diddles is a Wanderersways Superstar. We'd all love to meet him; if only to confirm he was real or if it's really Happy Wanderer, the site owner, having an alter ego to wind a few folk up or to start topics designed to create comment. After all, isn't comment what makes sites like this run?

You were so close! Happy is Youri.

aye, twice yesterday.

Wouldn't it be great if we were as insignificant as Belgium.

 

Actually no.

 

It'd be shite.

 

Rule Britannia.

Everything is on the up at the mo, thanks.

 

The missus had sky high blood pressure and the little un was 5 weeks early.

 

GSTNHS.

 

Sorry to hear that Frank, hope both get better and are ok.

A wee verse from that song.. "The nations, not so blest as thee,Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall;" It's war glorifying bollocks."

 

Wouldn't it be great if people could be proud of where they come from without thinking they were superior. How do you know you live a prouder existence that another bloke in Belgium?

 

There are parts of this Islands history that make me proud and parts that make me ashamed. Nostalgic love of empire seems a little pointless to me. But if you want to fire guns into the sky whilst wearing a bearskin hat then be my guest

Did you ever sort out when we apologised?

I only said for some of the atrocities, not all British influence was negative, India benfited from our influence.

 

We aplogised to the Kenyas as during the 60s our soldiers were torturing men and women on a daily basis.

Seems to be a recurring theme of yours does this. I recall being labelled a 'yankee warmonger' by you.

 

One conclusion I have reached about you is that if a war arose which required conscription, you'd be a conscientious objector.

 

I am right, aren't I?

Whereas now they just do it themselves.

 

Beltin response NB.....belting.

You said:

 

"The royal family have already had to make public apologies about what Britain did when it conquered the world. Slavery, indigenous extermination, breeding out colour?"

 

 

You haven't provided any evidence and not for the first time in discussions.

How do you know you live a prouder existence that another bloke in Belgium?

 

I just do.

Because Belgium is just shit. It's insignificant and not even on most world maps. It's language is half cocked French and Dutch, and other than wife beating lager has invented fuck all of worth or note.

 

It's just shit.

 

Nobody has ever said 'oh shit/good the Flanders are coming" - unless you count The Simpsons.

 

 

 

Belgium brought strong lager, mussels and fries to the world...no bad thing, but have blotted their copybook by having a very large % of peados. So for this reason iamout.

Good point on the mussels and fries Bigtoe.

Didn't they start the mayonnaise and fries combo too?

And I must confess to watching a bit of Poirot of a rainy rain.

I wasn't aware of the peado link though, so I may look at them differently now, the dirty gets.

I have never been to belgium so cant comment

Herge came from Belgium, so can't be all bad

It's as bland as the arctic.

 

However, whilst the latter has a huge controlling influence on the climate, the other is a breeding ground for chocolate eating incestuous rapists and mussel bound wife beaters.

Let me help you to become anti Belgium sonny.

 

Google 'Diksmuide', 'Ijsterwake' or Ijsterbedevaart'. It will put you right off.
