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.

i would just be interested in his response to both my comments, whether deemed sensible or not

the reason i mentioned the black man is because he went out of is way to thank me
and when i went back the next day he came to me and said thank you again .
that is why he is a nice person

quite so, but why the necessity to mention his colour 3 times?
did his reaction surprise you because he was black?

I see sky news going to town on the BBC do they not understand that the bbc is not news .
I am going to cancel my sky tv today no more £48 pounds to them
sky news is just a gossip shop and if you want to get news you have to watch
russia today or eu news .
SKY NEWS IS TOTAL CRAP E HOLMES IS A SIMPLETON

CYNIC NO I SPEAK TO HIM MOST DAYS .
AND JUST FOR YOU BOB WHO ARE SPEAK TO FOR HOURS IS A BLACK JAMICAN AND WE ARE GOOD FRIENDS AND HE AGREES WITH ME ON MOST THINGS INCLUDING IMMIGRANTS HE IS WORSE THAN MYSELF

you don't answer the question ...... in simpleton language .... if the guy had been white, would you have mentioned his colour?

and as a codicil, if that is the corect word .... if you now regard this black chappy as "english" at what juncture do you consider an immigrant family to have "adopted" their new nationality - or at least i don't recollect any black jamaicans being mentioned in my medieval history, but perhaps i'm wrong

Legally I suppose the definition is at least citizenship to be regarded as Engkish/British.Perhaps we should all adopt Tanker's style in normal speech.

There was a black Welshman, a white Scotsman and a black Englishman who went into a pub........

CYNIC a immigrant is some one who does not want to fight for a better life in is own country
he just wants hand outs if ever one in the world did not fight for a better country then the world would be filled with beggars .
syira libya ae fighting for a better life .
and good luck to them .
then you look at gaza voting in a terrorist gov and firing rockets in to a country and do not give a dam who it kills .
they are a notion of beggars .and yes i have been there and seen it ,
if we opened our borders the country would sink .
and then what the money for benefits is running out then what war

Would it improve the joke if we added their heights and whether they each liked brussel sprouts

hay very good

the colour of any one is not a issue it is when they use it to make money .
colour does not matter .its ony skin .

How about.

There was a black Englishman and a black Welshman, who went into a pub,
they were half way through buying a round, when they were joined by a white Scotsman.

The underlying problem here isn't the fact stores policy be it TSCO,MRW,SBRY etc is to prosecute all shoplifters when caught either by security or staff. 1st problem is how to detain them until the Police arrive, especially if they are high on drugs or alcohol. 2nd problem is when the bobby arrives eventually and carts them off, he is then stuck in a mire of paperwork for the next 4hours. In this economic climate this sort of crime will inevatably increase, so it beggars belief that Police resources already stretched should be cut. Add in the fact that existing serving Police Officers are being asked to take a pay cut by paying even more into their pensions for less doesn't bode well.

so tanks, why do you think your BLACK jamaican's family came to uk? ..... were they not immigrants? ...... ditto, over the centuries, all the jews, chinese, asians ad nauseam, the great majority of whom have worked very hard and built up at least some sort of life

CC correct we have aproblem so should we change the law so that we allow the stores to arrest them and take them to court and put there picture on the stores
doors . I say yes

cynic I do agree but when do you say NO MORE WE ARE FULL

TANKS - Not sure how that would work. Theft is a criminal offence tried in a Magistrates Court, are you suggesting that the law be changed that theft from a supermarket be downgraded to a civil offence? If so where do you draw the line?

no i am saying that the stores shoud have the same power as a police officer at the stores . leaving the police to do more work on big crime .

A criminal is a criminal regardless of its religion, country of origin, colour of skin etc.
They shouldn't say a black criminal or muslim subside bomber or jewish banker, etc.

The news agencies that associate the criminals with their race are the real racist in my view. They do not allow the communities to develop and people live peacefully with respect they deserve. People get worried about their neighbours only because of skin colour or religion, etc ...

ahoj so there as been a crime and the police can not give out info on the criminal
howdo you catch him you have to say if he is white pink black yellow brown human.
think you fool
