The Bastard Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I do wonder how well she'd be able to work with the councillors, after the posted allegations that one of them was a paedophile. I don't think she'd necessarily get a warm welcome from data protection or the communications commission either, after the 'tabbing IP addresses' fiasco. As for heading up a trade mission to China after the recent work to build crucial relationships in Wuxi, would she remember not to use the word 'Chinky' ?

piebaps Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Chinky wouldn't matter anyway. Remember that you can use offensive terminology in Tynwald and it will be edited out of Hansard. Remember Eddie Lowey and "ragheadgate"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Eddie Lowey and "ragheadgate"? He was actually nicer than that - I believe the word used was towelhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're little sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I wondered that, Rog was living in East Anglia too I believe. They have a similar turn of phrase. Didn't Rog say he was dying, so Spook is either his re-incarnation or a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I've been wondering if spook was the ghost of rog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The use of the word sheet first came about as a joke that circulated widely some years ago and that I remembered because it was so very apt then and increasingly so these days.

mojomonkey Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Sadly, no. The use of the word sheet first came about as a racist joke that circulated widely some years ago and that I remembered because it was racist then and just as racist so these days.

What a shame more people don't realise what is happening Nice to know we agree on this I edited to highlight the inherent racist in your supposed joke, you edited to make it look I agree which I most certainly don't. However, you then agreed with your false statement pretending to me from me, which in a bizarre way confirms that you are a racist. Not that it comes as a big surprise.

homarus Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Homarus - what is this link with "common people" you claim? It's a bit like that Pulp song in Amy's case given her background: Smoke some fags and play some pool pretend you never went to school. But still you'll never get it right 'cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roaches climb the wall If you call your Dad he could stop it all Pretending to be a chav so you can pretend you have the common touch really doesn't work. Sums it up pretty well. I'm struggling to see much reality to this campaign. It looks like someone from a reasonably well off background doing a very good impression of engaging with the council house voters of South Douglas backed by a social media army of malcontents. Not this Malcontent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rog was ok, he added another dimension to these forums. (Don't be put off by the low 'like' count compared to post count. The Facebookesque 'like' facility arrived late to manxforums.)

Sonny boy, if you can't take it then don't give it. When it comes to racism you wouldn't recognise it if it were to bite you on your no doubt ample backside. Islam is NOT a race.
