I?m pretty sure America is just made up anyway.

True but I was probing at deeper questions. Violence exist in every walk of life, is more of a cop-out than an explanation.

What about Huguenot?s idea about the exam? I think Stella, Oasis, cocaine and football should be a right to all those living in this country but only if you?ve passed some sort of exam on the cultural significance of white trainers and polo shirts. Is discrimination based on appearance and cultural activity still racist if you belong to the same race group?

Well this type of thing does happen in Africa all the time for various reasons (not generally sport related though) and with brutal savagery. There?s no justification for it but the perpetrators are tribal, deeply superstitious and without the benefits of modern education, a formal justice system and all the other things that thousands of years of civilisation bring. So why in Ingerland Ingerland Ingerland? Our England innit. Best Country in the world. We had an Empire. Civilised the world we did. What?s your excuse?

It?s a bit like England but colder and it doesn?t have as many wankers.

This be a genuine request. I am going to be without a TV and out of FM braodcast area this weekend. Can any of you who have my number text me the cricket score at end of play on Saturday please? Just to let me know how it has been going.

Can I be serious here and say a genuine big up thanks to giggirl for letting me accompany her to the Pearl Jam gig last week. A band I?ve loved since my youth and always wanted to see and they fucking kicked it! Top evening.

Funny I was going to say the Lord Clyde or the Kings Arms in SE1 but got beaten to it. The Royal Oak in SE1 sort of fits the bill too. Grosvenor in Brixton? Or the Marquis of Lorne in Brixton?

You still don't really get my point on the other stuff though. In fact your ideas kind of highlight how people all (everyone that is) seem to miss the point of manners. But it's too much to get into. I'm not out to chnge the world today.

Belive me that's not what I was talking about at all. In fact it couldn't be further from what I meant. It?s got nothing to do with people needing something because they are somehow weaker or less able. It has to do with respect for experience and standing. Anyway people in England don?t often get me on this point they seem to prefer the insipid borderline aggressive rudeness that passes for manners in London. Or the morally vacuous but hugely sanctimonious crud that some people flaunt as manners in order to show themselves to be of some kind of better class.

Your right there MrBen, the SeanMac is omnipresent. I?m sure there?s more than one of him. BBW you?re doing yourself no favours with the machismo. Considering some of the insulting and offensive stuff you have decided to post up here Jah has been perfectly entitled to say you what he has. A lot of people may not have done so but Jah speaks his mind and he wasn?t being unreasonable. The fact that he is 20 years your senior (and you are aware of this) also means (well at least where I come from) that he has the little bit more licence to speak his mind than you as the younger man do. Within reason of course.

Oh I know. Like a basket of freshly picked honeysuckle I am.

What I don?t get is why people think that extending something like a local online forum into the real world is somehow weird or sad. It?s as normal as going for a drink with someone from your tennis club or meeting the people whose kids go to the same school as yours. This is a local forum not one of these free for all rant fests that pollute the internet. The idea that there is some kind of stigma because it?s ?online? is what is odd. Why exactly? Choosing to remain anonymous but interacting within normal social parameters is understandable to a point. Choosing to remain anonymous so that you can be the cunt you?re afraid to be in real life is however not understandable. It?s the equivalent of going to the pub with a mask on, calling everyone a cunt and then running off. So, you know, funny but probably borderline pathological.

Yes and he runs a magazine called Mad or Geisteskrank as he prefers to call it.

Another good thing about the CPT is that you?re almost guaranteed to see Jah in there on a Saturday afternoon.

If I Were a Rich Man ? Harnick and Bock.

And there I was thinking it was named after a particularly stupid witch. Ran some holistic healing stall on the Northcross Road

And there you have it folks. The first time ever someone has drawn a valid comparison between Field Marshall Erwin Rommel and Alfred E. Neuman.

So is that why you need South Africans coming in to help you win?

Nope that's something different. Similar but different.

Apparently you're never more than 3 feet away from one in East Dulwich.

that's a very nice picture of a little red X in a white box.
