And a tall, rangy, shaven headed black chap was wearing said T shirt on Lordship Lane yesterday afternoon - sighted outside Co-Op at about 4.30pm. I thought it looked ironic.

I had asked politely on another thread to please leave it out and let it lie. That was ignored.


Some people don't like to confront antagonists, that's one reason the moderators and I are here, people call on us to help or step in on their behalf. Not everyone wants to fight a battle on a forum, there shouldn't even be battles on the forum, especially this forum.

Nothing wrong with a good debate here though, especially in the lounge. I've engaged in them in the past but you can't forget that a stream of jokes at the expense of one group of people may for some be a joke amongst friends and for others be a bit unpleasant. Similar references around race wouldn't be tolerated would they?


Anyway - bought any nice dungarees lately?



Dang - so much for my self enforced ban....has lasted all of five minutes (so weak!)......


I would rather deal with a comment about crew cuts and barbers head on in a witty or clever way than censor and pilory the comment (esp when it's obvious there is no malice intended). That's what discussion is and when it comes to serious issues, that clearly are racist or homophobic then the ONLY way to deal with them IS head on and in a public domain.


I have to be honest and say that if all it takes is a comment about barbers to uspest someone then they might need to ask themselves whether a forum is for them. I would hope that most people are capable of telling a comment that is laced with malice form a comment that is tongue in cheek whether they know the person writing it or not.


As for dungarees...I have a couple of pairs lol.....;-)

Well, given that everyone seems to be complaining, can I join in? I'm complaining about my post about the flavour of the Lounge being vaguely in the tradition of After Dark (RIP) and gave some interesting examples of After Dark incidents. Or they were interesting to me at least. And I don't consider the post was off-topic, and it was in the Lounge in any case, and in response to Admin's own point. So, I hereby register my complaint, because the darned thing has gone and there was nothing offensive about it from what I can see.

Apologies louisiana, I agree your post was interesting however as the whole thread had to come off, and your post was in it and I'm afraid it was removed, there is no easy mechanism of splitting your post out from the rest. Sorry.

I accuse myself of the following crimes...

I have seduced Party members of both sexes...

I've been to the proletarian areas...

I deliberately contracted syphilis in order to spread the disease...

to my wife and other Party members.

Together with other agents, I have counterfeited banknotes...

wrecked industrial machinery, polluted the water supply...

guided Eurasian rocket bombs to targets on Airstrip One by means of coded radio signals.

I stand here, a victim of the influence of DJ KillaQueen.


Guilty on all counts.


I'm glad I was caught. I was mentally deranged.

Now I am cured.


I ask only for you to accept my love of our Administrator.


I ask only to be shot while my mind is still clean.

    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.  
    • Some suggestions for mandatory action might include:- 1. Permit retailers to display facial images on the premises  of previous offenders at their local store. 2. Sound an alert and display images on screens inside the store when the FR flags up a person entering who is on the national database of shoplifters. 3. Physically bar recognised shoplifters from the premises. Should they attempt to force entry then charges should be pressed under aggravated trespass, which  a criminal offence under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. 4. Change the law to allow retailers to have enhanced powers of citizens arrest. What would you suggest? The UK seems to have the most lenient policy towards shoplifting , probably because of other demands on the police force. On the plus side, they may have more time for it now that non-crime hate incidents will no longer be investigated. Other countries, such as the USA have much more sever punishment as does Singapore where repeat offenders or aggravated cases can be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison, a fine, or both.
