Right. Next time you are at a curry house, few beers in, crack the same joke loud enough to be heard Do you.. A ) feel comfortable and say "it's only a joke mate" Or B ) realise that you have become one of those tables of drunken idiots in a curry house? This has two benefits. It removes the whole "is uncleben being unfairly maligned" argument as he is unlikely to be there. Plus it will force to to reevaluate the joke right?

Not all those links work. I'm blaming phone so giving up for now. But basically uncleben is plenty happy to pigeonhole people

Numbers. When did it become a problem to self identify if someone calls you x or y? Here we have him saying " I do not need to pigeonhole people to form an opinion" Which doesn't even name sense in the first place. But let's test it out Not pigeonholing people here no? http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1078391,1078606#msg-1078606 http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1078309,1078614#msg-1078614 http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,251917,1078913#msg-1078913 http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1053531,1088232#msg-1088232 Nah. He doesn't need to pigeonhole anyone.

Tsk. My bad. I read that several times too But still, you are conforming you Aren't white? Or are you just saying "you can't tell". (Ie lady d might be right on that score but you don't want to say so?)

What is happening now isn't the same as before Jeremy. That's his point People moving on and moving in and out is as old as the city What is different is the volume if people in professional jobs moving not because they are having families or want out, but because they have. Previously the jump from flat to house was doable. No more. Rent was an affordable second option. No more I'm moving. But I don't want to

"Oh btw who said i was white?!" Good question. Remind me, who did?

You think I'm attacking? You haven't read my posts

I'm not even in mrben's quoted age bracket. So I'm doubly hacked off

I don't think mrben is simply bemoaning his own lot in this sorry scenario *bob* What you say about province is depressingly true for most part, but given numbers heading that way, even that may change But I think his main point (or subtext at least) is that something is a bit wrong with the picture and market economics isn't the only solution. But there is already a thread along similar lines in the drawing room to no great effect. Mrben is a cool, affable dude. He will make new friends aplenty. I wouldn't worry about him

Because the realise its distasteful at best?

Exaggeration for effect scsb Your reasoning about why it shouldn't matter to other people is flawed There are good good people standing up for the original joke, but you would hazard a fair guess they wouldn't make it themselves. And they would know why they wouldn't make it

Several mosques have been bombed lately I am not damaged (directly) I am not injured (directly) I will carry on in life just fine But it's not ok. Those are not the criteria I use to judge something

What numbers said

First Jeremy and now me numbers? The list groweth ;-)

Numbers: have any of those members been back since?

Fair enough mick. The bar isn't high and the margins between mediocrity and bad are slim So I get people have their own league table of curry houses. On any given night any of them can be well poor.

I was with dulwich fox that night and support what he says I also agree with Jeremy, that at the moment it's the best on the lane I'm not saying people haven't had bad experiences there but it was first place I ate in dulwich 12 years ago, and am here again tonight and find it almost inconceivable. These guys have always been super helpful. So I am surprised

Cooler temps + Lambeth country fair = all day win

It does still amuse me every year to be fair

Woody... This thread is sooooo 3 years ago

So we have people saying sue needs sex, and you saying sue is only posting because she hates the vale? This is just weird, unpleasant shite

Wherever people sit re: unclebens original post, his scattergun defence (sue is having a pop because she hates the vale??? ) is bizarre People are free to criticise any business because of the service/quality etc. criticising the vale because they are Irish bogtrotters would be an example of racism and I don't think anyone is doing that

Ours can go a lot longer than 3 hours. I think we forget that when they were wee babies we were as worried about nappies. How long since last one? It's been 2 days since a poo etc They seem to use potty training as an exercise in self control. There may be mishaps along the way. But unless its weeks without some action I wouldn't worry unduly. Their body will overrule their elementary stroppiness

Put it another way. In Jeremy's story, there is no victim. White creamy sauce = jizz = smiles But many other people who already think some races are unclean https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=pakis+unclean&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari Would interpret illegal/underpants comments as funny because it supports their arguments Should I see a legit website demeaning chefs in a similar fashion I might review my thoughts
