adios

Bobby said he was a problem player too, difference is he took on the problem players if he felt they were worthwhile. He felt Bellamy, Robert, Romario were worth the hassle.

Maybe he was talking about your willy!

Not so much a class as a terrible affliction.

I know what you mean, to be honest calling Bobby Robson or Alex Ferguson, Sir Bobby and Sir Alex gets on my tits. Makes the English look like knobs I feel when I hear that. I quite like Charles, William and Harry, I reckon there kind of victims of circumstance in a way. Would sooner stab the Queen or Prince Phillip in the face than look at them though. There's not much exaggeration in that comment either.

Much obliged! 36620[/snapback] "Democracy is the worst form of Goverment except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time" Love my Oxford Electronic Dictionary, Thesaurus, Quote Thingy.

So does that mean every day is talk like a pirate day for you?

"Democracy is the worst form of Goverment except for all the others which have been tried from time to time" I think..

Oh come on, the Queen is like the Irish President - a figurehead with no real power, not like the US president. Would you honestly rather live in the US than the UK, as a socialist. You live in a democracy with an outdated relic, where being typically English no one's had the courage to ask them to leave. As the chav class grows that problem of politeness will disappear and they'll propbably be burnt at the stake.

I just had to type the command 'man mount' and for some reason it made me think of you!

You'd be surprised what I was like in real life. I have a few really good friends but I'm not really one for having tons of meaningless "mates". I can be antisocial, but when I want to be, I'm a pretty likeable chap. I use places like this to say the things I'd think but maybe not say. It's like a dummy run to see how poeple think. 36575[/snapback] So calling Gol an idiot was a sociological experiment? 36577[/snapback] It was on a plate. I'm sure he's been called worse. If he's offended then I apologise. However, he is deliberately getting arsey about an opinion I never personally claimed to hold. 36581[/snapback] Petri dish, shirley.

Ice cream and chocolate sauce for me, or just a coffee.

Sure! You're an idiot! A "working class" accent would be one of the following: Scouse Leeds Manc Brummy Cockney Geordie Glaswegian Anywhere in fact, where there's a history of coal mining/ship building/cotton mills and other similar physical occupations. I don't make the rules, so don't blame me. 36564[/snapback] You don't make friends easily either, do you?

The only sensible solution would seem to be a choice. Either drop down to in line with the social assistance of other non-working types and more suitable accommodation or take part in BBC's new reality show 'The Windsors'.

It's all right for you, you're convict class, as real as it gets!

But working class people are too busy worshipping Jade Goody and injecting heroine into their eyeballs to comment. 36523[/snapback] That's the charver underclass, surely. A brand new category of human detritus made by Thatcher. 36529[/snapback] Let's not jump to hasty conclusions!

Should have been posted in the life story/too much information thread tbh. <--

Correction, if it doesn't involve securing money in a secure long-term low-yield investment they're not interested. Gambling makes you cry, doesn't it Gemill.

Renton, can't tell there's any Scottish in you! My leftist heart would love to agree with your sentiments about equality but the reality is that it's not a level playing field. Some people work alot harder than others and sometimes that benefits us all, should they not be rewarded for that? We all want to treat our kids as best we can so when a few of these better rewarded people get together and hire the best teachers what can we really do about that? Once you propagate that scenario through a few generations you're going to end up with some inequality. If anyone has a solution I'd love to hear it, it would cheer me up no end. It's jars my idealogy to realise that it's not as simple as helping people, but it's not. It's easy to rail against a perceived enemy but alot tougher to sit back and look at what all sides are doing wrong here and what we can do to change it.

I've always thought of the Aussies as Americans who are good at sports. It's the Dutch that worry me, Americans with BRAINS! </sweepingGeneralisations>

Talking about me again! Fucker.

I agree with passing on wealth but I think you'll probably find it hard to justify the state paying out because someone's ancestor locked his nephew in the Tower once! I thought this debate had stretched far beyond just the Royals though, it seemed to have become a bit of a class issue. That's what I thought NJS was commenting on. Anyway who really cares, if you look at the money they take out of the system in real terms, does it have an impact? Maybe Rob would be able to put it in terms of extra hospital beds or something. The Dutch have a royal family too, from what I can tell from my Dutch mates it's just not an issue in the same way as the UK, although it's really a bad time to try and make that argument...

I can't believe some people are having a go at Taylor's ability/potential. He's got all the attributes to be a top defender but the same youthful cockiness that allows him to cope at this level is also causing him to make one or two mistakes. Once he gets his head right I feel we've got another Woodgate on our hands, complete with Herman Munster eyes. He's already better than quite a few of the first team defenders we've had on our books in recent tears (not that that's saying much). Any 18 year old relishing coming up against Alan Shearer in training has the mentality to succeed in my opinion. He'll be a collossus for us.
