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.

On The BBWolf scale this rates at about a 3.1


He can do a lot worse but his eviction notice is still on a short leash.



W**F

'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!!!

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
