Toucan Telecom tbh, the little bastards. "Mr. Robinson sir. A thousand apologies for ringing you every day sir. But are you absolutely certain I cannot take up one more minute of your time to explain to you the fantastic offer we have at Toucan Telecom" 174446[/snapback] Someone says they'd like to see what these british muslim kids are up to in 20 years and you say they'll be working in Toucan Telecom. Unless you were randomly placing a reference to another thread in this one and I've foolishly confused it with the topic under discussion. 174596[/snapback] Yeah I was. And you have. I was also making a joke like. In other words, I wasn't super-serious about the whole thing. I didn't think Dotbum was either when he said they'd all be working at HSBC.

As far as I'm aware it's all India, which you wouldn't really associate with muslimism anyway, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what the argument's even about. Still happy to stick my nose in, though. 174595[/snapback] I doubt HF would be so ready to condemn me if I set Toucan Telecom on him. He'd be on here tomorrow doing silly impressions of their phone patter, I guarantee it.

I'll confess like, I never really got a lot of the fuss over Blade Runner - only seen it once when I was pretty young. Maybe I need to watch it again.

Textbook Rob - dismissive whilst missing the point. I'm aware Tebbit said that if you move to a country you should support them Rob. That's not what I'm saying though. If I moved to Australia I wouldn't suddenly stop supporting England. I'm saying it's sad that a lot of young Muslims don't feel British or English. 174488[/snapback] Probably because they read threads like this and don't feel all that welcome tbh. 174494[/snapback] Do you think I've said anything that is particularly out of order or offensive to Muslims like? 174498[/snapback] No. Not you specifically. But I'm sure British muslims love being stereotyped as insular callcentre staff who mistreat their women and celebrate the deaths of other British civilians. As long as our society continues to be this welcoming why wouldn't they want to integrate more fully with us? 174506[/snapback] Toucan Telecom call centre staff ARE Indian/Pakistani though. That's not a stereotype, it's a FACTISTANI. 174555[/snapback] Not British then. 174563[/snapback] Wouldn't have thought so what with the work being outsourced to India/Pakistan. Are you suggesting they're THAT desperate to work in a call centre that they'd move there like? Stereotyping tbh. 174567[/snapback] No. See a couple of pages back. That's what you did tbh. 174575[/snapback] I didn't. I made a joke based on a conversation that was carried on from yesterday. And as I've said, it's a FACT that Toucan Telecom workers are from India or Pakistan (I'll confess I don't know which) as that's where the call centre is based. I should know, the twats ring me all the time.

Signed up for this btw. Sandy/T-L, if you're still doing it, get your registrations in. I just rang them there and did it in two minutes. Doing it on the Saturday in the 11-12 slot.

What film's that like?

Mrs McClusky was a right old bitch!

and me, i now have the beginnings of a headache 174470[/snapback] The first dimension would be enough to make your head explode tbf.

For £10m or a swap for Keane as Dotbum mentions, I'd go for it like. I'd take my chances on him becoming the genius that some would have me believe he already is.

Interesting stuff. I'd like to think we'll tell them to sling their hook.

With the roads around the airport airport heaving so emergency services wouldn't be able to get through. 174399[/snapback] This is like the bit in a movie with Bruce Willis where the penny drops that THIS was their dastardly plan all along! I can just see Bruce running through the terminal shouting "EVERYBODY OUT! GET OUT! YIPPEE SOMETHING!"

Someone posted this a couple of weeks ago. It hurt my brain.

We're not a very close family on either side, so I sat down with my Grandfather at his 80th and got everything he could remember down, quite a mess on the back of an envelope. He died shortly after that, so I was happy to have done it. Transferred it all to some software a year or so ago, only to have the fucking hard drive crash. Hadn't kept the envelope either, complete bastard! 174393[/snapback] That's a shame like. You could still suss it all out from records and that, but what a clart on. I was looking on the British Army site recently, and if you have a soldier's ID number or whatever it was called, you can trace them right the way through the war - where they were stationed, where they moved to, injuries they picked up, battles they were involved in, medals they won. My granddad was one of the mentalists who lied about how old he was to fight in WWI so I quite fancied getting all the info as he's dead now. Need my mam to dig out his medals though to get his number.

There's still that pesky matter of you being one of Her Majesty's subjects tbh. How do you actually know that much about your family history, out of interest? I haven't a clue. 174383[/snapback] I'd love to know my family tree, but I want someone to just hand it to me. I don't want to have to do any sitting in libraries or owt. Maybe when I have kids I'll ground them for weeks on end and task them with it.

Getting Daily Mail readers in a tizz by whistling the national anthem on the podium was quality though.

Should be knighted for services to the British joystick industry. 174372[/snapback] Is that a gay thing, or are we talking about Decathlon/the sequel Supertest? 174374[/snapback] The latter. Though now you mention it, that moustache was a bit pornstar, wasn't it? 174375[/snapback] Remember when he wore that t-shirt 'Is the world's 2nd greatest athlete gay?' At Los Angeles in 1984. Aimed at Carl Lewis h'allegedly, h'allegedly. 174378[/snapback] He was a bit of a tosser like. Class sportsman and I love a bit of arrogance in sportsmen, but that was a bit out of order.

Rent boy tbs tbs. 174364[/snapback] Blatantly. Deposited in one night of passion an'all.

Hungry Horace tbh. Or Daley Thompson.

Against Villareal, it didn't look to me like individual errors, it looked like 4 players who didn't know how to operate as a back four that was the problem. Which is a coaching issue. Hopefully it's something they can work on.

Buy a pair of noise reduction headphones. One of the best purchases I have ever made 174339[/snapback] It's more for the in-flight entertainment. On AA planes they have special sockets so you can't just plug your headphones into them and you have to pay three quid for their own ones! Swine. 174343[/snapback] Keep the ones you bought last time. Or fly business class, darling, and you get noise-reducing ones.

Tea out of vending machines is absolutely awful though. 174330[/snapback] Agree. It's like the granulated tea that PG tried to flog a few years back.
