Not content with destroying the British licensed trade with the smoking ban, this is the British Soviet's latest offensive against normal people- Don't call the barmaid 'love', by order of Harriet Harman | the Daily Mail
:rant: This has to be the work of some old slob who spend their day in their too small trainers. The one thing that really makes Britain the centre of the universe is the good atmosphere in a pub. And this is now endengered. It won't be long before some public survey find that 46% if all flings resulting in divorce started at a pub...So they must be banned. Then the next showing that beer is responsible for 38% of the extra urinating at matchday so it must be banned. And then Tea is banned because it drives moisture from the body, which means if you drink four gallons of it during a day it could harm you. Then the next survey comes along and ban football because it exites people. Then they ban sex, because it can lead to unplanned pregnacies. And then my dear Gordon with the Government controlling all aspects of your life you spend your days thinking why didn't I do something as you say Waeilcame (Lallans is your official language at that point of course) to your neighbours...
Here in Scotland even women refer to other women as 'hen', it's just an expression. I remember a gorgeous-looking barmaid in an Edinburgh pub I used to frequent who went doolally if anyone dared call her 'hen'. Needless to say, neither her nor the pub lasted very long.
I haven't read through all the preceeding if this was added or not but I dislike the whole PC verbiage about handicapped people- no they're handi-capable. She's not too short she's height challenged, etc.
Same here in Yorkshire, calling a lady of any age 'love' is pretty standard and the universal 'duck' is or 'chick' is fairly standard too.
Only saw this now. As for your profound question, it depends. Stright when I'm painting, bent when I'm reading. Depends on whether I feel passive or active.
Muslim sex offenders could opt out of treatment programme 'because it's against their faith' | the Daily Mail
Well it seems there is a bit of Islam conflict here, on the radio last night I heard a number of Muslims calling them dirty swine and how dare they stain Islam.
Bloody middle-class townies at it again.... Shearing banned at county show because animal welfare activists say clippers harm the sheep | the Daily Mail P_minigun::fuse::bazookafire:
(Shaking head)....Not enough wood chippers in the world..... No they don't. They cannot and will not exercise their "rights." How can they. Besides, as I tell my child; Farm animals are food, not friends!
As the pendulum swings we have thsoe utterly dumbazz times when it becomes "bad" to even distinguish race. The PC koo-koos would rather have law enforcement use descriptions without race. Obviously they don't want criminals apprehended because if a call went out describing 2 white males wanted for robbery the cops wouldn't begin cruising Harlem looking for them. But if it's 2 males, dark hair it could be anybody anywhere. Thankfully the top cops have responded "up yours" and continued to apprehend felons.
