Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

A London Underground passenger has been jailed for 21 weeks after she admitted hurling racist abuse at fellow passengers.

Jacqueline Woodhouse, 42, of Romford, east London, directed an expletive-ridden rant at Tube passengers on the Central line on 23 January.


Does this call for a prison sentence ? how many times do you hear drunk's shouting out abuse, and the Police go over to them and give them a warning , or they end up over night in the cell's . She wasn't threatening to assault anyone i don't think.

Maybe a 'less expensive', but still effective option, would be a hundred hours of community service - cleaning graffiti or similar.

Video clip

Woodhouse, who is on benefits after losing her job as a secretary, admitted causing racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress to the man who filmed her on his phone, Galbant Juttla, at a hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court earlier this month.

Today, at the same court, District Judge Michael Snow told Woodhouse, from Romford, Essex, that anyone viewing the video 'would feel a deep sense of shame that our citizens could be subject to such behaviour who may, as a consequence, believe that it secretly represents the views of other white people'.

Let the sentence of Woodhouse be a lesson to those of you who have hinted in the past that us Yorkshire-men have an unhealthy fondness for sheep and wellington boots.

Insults like that must warrant at least a couple of years locked up!

You mean they don't? :-)

Skinny,

OK, thats it, I am deeply hurt. In fact the effect your comment had on me could mean a few grand at least.
In fact I am now traumatized and probably going to suffer some sort of PTSD.
I have contacted MoneyAm to obtain your name and address, so you should receive a letter from my solicitor (fees paid for via legal aid of course) requesting a large monetary sum for hurt feelings, etc.
Mind you its not the money, its the principle!

Note........Do you have cover for civil actions on your house insurance.
If so we could screw the system for a few grand and if you admit to the error of your ways, we could split the cash 90/10 (I am a Yorkshire-man remember).

By the way, I'm not into goats, thats just perverse!

Greek, sorry my mistake.

Picture 1 before?
Picture 2 after!

OK thats enough of this childish behavior!

Younger? :-)

.

his/her face - come on now that would be perverse!

Ain't that carrots in a parrsstyy young Skinny...aaarrrrr.....!..

Hi Mnamreh,

The problem is my spell checker is American, and as a dyslexic I have great trouble spelling (great at maths though), so sometimes I don't know when the spelling that comes up is right.
Note............I don't like the American way of spelling many words.

Greek - I don't use IE, but from memory there are plenty of English spell checkers available as free add ons. (it may even come with its own these days).

Mnamreh,
Like you the yank spellings do grate.

Skinny,
Thanks, will try an English version.

How to see if your Spell Checker is any good -):

"Catching Misspilled Words with Spilling Checker

"As an extra addled service, I am going to put this column in the Spilling
Checker, where I tryst it will sale through with flying colons. In this modern
ear, itis simply inexplicable to ask readers to expose themselves to misspelled
swords when they have bitter things to do.
"And with all the other timesaving features on my new work processor, it
is in realty very easy to pit together a colon like this one and get it tight.
For instants, if there is a work that is wrong, I just put the curse on it,
press Delete and its Well sometimes it deletes to the end of the lion or
worst yet the whole rage. Four bigger problems, there is the Cat and Paste
option. If there is some test that is somewhere were you wish it where
somewhere else you jest put the curse at both ends and wash it disappear.
Where you want it to reappear simply bring four quarts of water to a rotting
boil and throw in 112 pounds of dazed chicken. Sometimes it brings in the Cat
that was Pasted yesterday."
"But usually it comes out as you planned, or better. And if it doesn't,
there are lots of other easy to lose options... "
