Title: The North/South divide
Post by: Berek on July 24, 2007, 05:48:25 PM
I think it speaks volumes the coverage the latest flooding is getting. Sky News have had no other news on now for almost 2 days. The Red Cross have launched an appeal to help them, and the government have responded a hell of a lot quicker than with the floods in Yorkshire..

give to the appeal ??

well as Honest John said to me today

FUCK EM

Perhaps we in the Thames Valley are considered to be more worthy than those in t'north.  After all, if it was not for our taxes, there would be no money to pay your benefits.

OK folks - time for a reality check here.

I think the grump is really about inconsistency. You all know that I am a "Southerner" but it is a falsehood to suggest that all of us below the northern M25 belt see those above as being inferior.

The BBC does indeed seem pre-occupied with a bit of wetness spilling over the Thames into the surrounding areas. Is this because it is such a rare event? Or because they percieve it to be a "better place" than Hull (although that is probably right...)

I have had some of the best times of my life on rugby tours in Buxton and Norwich, plus great times racing motorbikes in various counties nearer Scotland than Sussex. Every place I have been to has its lovely people and also - like Southern counties - gits. Most intelligent people have the same outlook on life, even if their accents are different. Most decent people believe in the same decent standards and common values even if their dialect may appear funny to someone else.

Despite knowing that Growler, Nick and Berek are too close to the Polar Ice Cap for my liking, I still think I'd rather go for a few bevvies with them than 95% of the detritus that take the financial/moral high ground down in the rich part of the country - i.e. the South East.

This fact WILL NOT, however, stop me from taking the piss out ot the benefit scrounging, hub-cap stealing, Whippet-shagging, Pigeon breeding, in-breeds that most of them are.

And I would expect no less in return from them.

Could it be something to do with the fact that the southern flood damage has been as much the result of building on flood plains as the rainfall itself. Something this government is still trying to encourage  Banghead

It can and it has.  redface: I've heard of bridge is it similar to that?

It's a good fun game although I would never play for money per point, you can get hammered by a good player - can be played just by 2.

What about cribbage?

Is that the game with toothpicks that you stick into a board?

Yes, although it tends to be match-sticks. Fancy ones have litlle brass ones for showing off.

S'your Bar you can have what you like. Personally I'd like the pool table back but you said after Snoopy cocked his leg on it you wouldn't let it back in.  sad32:

It is a response to those using my unfortunate mistake as an excuse not to spend money on a pool table.
I thought is was a tree!  redface:

Wasn't it a bit too smooth and shiney for a tree? Or is that how trees grow round your way?

Barman's fault ~ made me lap up all his spilled homebrew ~ I couldn't wait and one piece of wood smells much like another. Good job old Cp'n Jack wasn't in with his wooden leg and all.

I come from Northamptonshire and this traditional pub game was very popular when i was young, less so now but can still be found in a few pubs and round here

A quality game, i used to regularly frequent the villages between bedfordshire and northants (once dated a northants nymph) and there were skittles a plenty.

Obviously, being a northerner i could throw the cheeses (i think they were called) much harder and straighter than your lot, I could also withstand more than 3 pints of beer, thus am the World Skittles Champion.

I thank you.
