  1. Peeve: Reading 8 pages of (mostly) bollux (debateable) until my eyeballs dry up and I look like a goldfish, finally flop into bed exhausted, only to not be able to sleep for 3 hours due to brain still processing 8 pages of bollux!  😡

    ...Not this thread btw! (though that is also "debateable" sometimes! lol).

    Beth already pointed out that the policeman in your incident was immediately brought to justice. Whereas, the the events that are causing these protests...suddenly, the wheels of justice got awfully slow 

    Yeah, but I was still plowing through page 9 after reading the previous 6 pages and hadn't caught up yet.

    , the use of terms such as black or white appealing to people, at least not very culturally and a little smacks of racism. but this is my personal opinion and I may be wrong.

    Yup, you are!

    Glad for everything really :)

    SL was the second online forum I ever became a member of. ☺️

    I think being "glad to be here" constitutes legal cause for your immediate comittal to the nearest sanitorium! We should all just take ourselves there on the bus and make a party of it.

    CHECKOUT CHECKOUT I need to know more about the white guy that would challenge both a global pandemic and racial protests to loot legos. made with mematic Product

    I need to know more about the black guy who's training his child in what to do when a black person dies!
    ...and hammer guy is trying to cut through the hard plastic cover. Using the blunt end it'd just bounce back and hit him between the eyes. Obviously a 'looter' with 4 brain cells instead of the usual 2!

    image.png.b135dfebd7dc06e92cb62a388a4f2c6a.png is what I see. But since Orwar laughed I'm assuming I need to get offended? 😛

    Well, he might be laughing AT me instead of WITH me? .... I can see that my posts will only be taken seriously if someone with an intellectual capacity on Orwar's level validates them. I shall hire him forthwith!  🙄

    Worcester....................Wooster

    This must be the posh Yorkshire pronunciation? We Manc's say "Wusstor"!  😜

    The Yank's do have their fair share of awkward named places to be fair. Places like Chapaquiddic (sorry Teddy) and Missuagua etc...however they're spelt! I bet Selene could throw a few more in.  They don't have much patience for naming places though. I mean, they have at least 7 "Manchester"'s over there! (I know this because I used to collect police shoulder patches).

    Question though and asking for an honest answer.  Can you understand American's when you watch an American film?

    We've been conditioned since the dawn of film & Television to it, it's only the last few years with the black Americans and their "ghetto/street" speak that tends to baffle the older Brit's these days. The Swedes and Dutch, along with many other Euro Nations after learning English tend to speak with strong or slight American accents due to learning most of it from film. tv and music.

    Ironically, in English Canada we are all taught le français de France. I'm not sure why.

    It's because you're ours and we love you and happen to be at peace with France now, so we don't really mind. However, those Frenchie Canucks, we don't like 'em and they should be ignored at all costs!

    But, Reading as Redding?  Seriously, Dano, that one's on you.

    Dunno. It just comes natural to me!  😁

    Edit: Pet peeve - I dislike the French! (on topic).

    So, to be clear . . .

    You're taunting the Americans because they haven't yet managed to screw over quite so much of the globe, with quite the same incompetent aplomb as was managed by your lot?

    Give 'em time!

    Nah, not "taunting"..."fencing" is all. The fluff ball knows I like pulling the eagles feather's sometimes and she's just pulling the lions tail in return! Sorry...."adorable fluff ball" that should be! lol.
    How much time do they need? Since 1945 they've spent trillions and trillions on having the most powerful Army, Air force and Navy (nobody counts the marines because if they were'nt in the military they'd just be knocking in fence posts with their heads for a living!). They could have conquered the world but instead they choose to sail their 19 city sized, very expensive aircraft carrier's for "muscle flexing", while their crews get beaten up in bars around the world wherever they tie up!  
    Still, it's saved the rest of us a sh*t ton of cash by letting them play "world police", so all's well that ends well eh?  🙂

    And this coming from a person who has a language that has the words read and read but one of them is pronounced "red".   Not to mention you have a town called Reading that if spoken is pronounced Redding.  How the heck am I supposed to know how to pronounce Reading if no one told me before hand?   We tried to make sense of your babble.  

    Repeat after me Fairre..."Worcestershire....Leicestershire"!  Let's face it, American's just aren't good with pronunciations. Half your Cities and towns are named after British towns because you couldn't pronounce the original names ffs!  😉
