Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-08-02 11:37:26Copy HTML There is an old-fashioned word to describe Black people: Black. Any other words used designed to change perception haven't. Creating new terms hoping to get past negative associations with the old ones rarely do. Bums are still bums not homeless or unhoused. But I guess I'm just old-fashinoned. |

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-08-03 05:18:29Copy HTML Blacks are setting traps to catch out white folk all the time. They call themselves "people of colour" but get hysterical if we call them "coloured". They want Western nations to provide aid and reparations, but if we do they protest at us posing as "white saviours". If a white person wears "ethnic" costume or styles their hair in corn braids for instance it's "cultural appropriation" but a black person can dye their hair blond with no comeback. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-08-03 07:33:22Copy HTML This is why I never abandoned my wife when our daughter was born, rob shops or stab somebody because I don’t want to be accused of cultural appropriation. |

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-08-03 08:26:17Copy HTML The fashion now is for "colour blind casting" on TV shows, we've had a black Anne Boleyn recently, I've yet to hear of a white man cast as Nelson Mandela. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-08-03 10:56:59Copy HTML And you never will. This one sided programme, run by the left, is meant to denigrate the history, culture and achievements of Britain, spearheaded by the BBC. |

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-08-04 10:03:11Copy HTML Jackie’s, as they are nicknamed here are a great breed. Lively, very funny at times and born ratters. I had English Bull Terriers for 30 years, incredible dogs but I also found myself owning a a Jackie too when its owner emigrated. Unfortunately the English bull was just too rough for it when playing so I gave him to my best pal’s dad, who had lost his wife recently. Eddy absolutely fell in love with him and the dog went some way into easing his loss. They were inseparable. Eventually the Jackie died and Eddy was absolutely devastated. He had the dog cremated and kept the ashes with the instructions in his will that when he was finally buried, his dog's ashes be put in his coffin, which is what happened. |

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-08-07 11:01:29Copy HTML Harley has gone bust. It’s been on the cards for a number of years on and off. Switching production to Thailand pissed off Trump royally and I can’t see him rescuing them unless a lot of changes take place. I found out today that they have an electric Harley that has hidden speakers that replicate the sound of a real Harley. Understand your market, when are they going to understand this simple lesson? Jaguar will be the next great name to disappear. Go woke go broke |

Re:Don't Start Another Date Posted:2025-08-07 11:41:10Copy HTML A "sheet" is a rope or line that controls a sail on an old sailing ship. If they became loose the ship would be uncontrollable & stagger like a drunken sailor. That is the origin of the term "three sheets to the wind." |
