Am I the only person who thinks this is somewhat passe? A faux jovial OP that is at least 30 years past its sell by date in terms of humour?

Maybe I am?


Actually I find the whole sentiment of it in poor taste.


You can do better than this Bigbadwolf.

In a dull but worthy way...


I was intrigued that for the 1.2 billion Chinese who don't speak English, they all knew one word for the Brits - Hooligan.


It's kind of twee and 1970s, but a massive part of the Chinese perception of the UK as a socially failed state.


There's no irony in the fact that it's Irish of course. Chancers.

'Doubt' is uncertainty. The only thing that is certain in life is that you will die. Why worry about uncertainty when you know the result. Enjoy, embrace uncertainty.........life would be boring without it!!!

    • How do you know what the fox wanted to do if it didn’t do it. 
    • Quote "it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me." Doesn't say clearly that it tried to bite you , but instead implies that you had the impression, right or wrong that it wanted to nip you.  unless you are clear others will read it how you write it.  As for being a jobsworth, what a quaint old expression, haven't heard that for a long while. 
    • Crook locks can be sawn through, or the steering wheel to which it is attached, I know to my own cost. The safest additional security measure is what's called a ghost immobiliser, which cannot be traced through the car's electronics, meaning it is difficult to bypass. They cost a bomb however. 
    • I’ve reported two instances of mobile phone theft to 999 in recent times. On both occasions several police units have arrived very quickly - in one case they found the perpetrator.
