Tom, I heard there were riots in Liverpool this morning because of a misprint in the local paper, when it said there were enough jobs for everyone instead of enough jabs!

Re: You no say that
You will be pleased to learn that Ms Alison Plaumer of the Global Environmental Movement has declared that cheese and other dairy products are racialist as 65% of BAME people are lactose intolerant and that cheese and other dairy products should be banned from school meals.
So there you go folks that quart of milk we got at school during the war was to instill in us the factor of racism. We live in a wonderful crazy world. Only problem is many Councils are listening to her and these food staples are being removed from school meals, and being replaced by healthy plant based diets

Re: You no say that
To crown it all unless Uni exam papers specifically that grammar and spelling will be taken into account, both subjects will not be taken into consideration in normal exams.

Re: You no say that
It’s maybe time to re-post an earlier post of mine:
“ Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of $hit by the clean end! ”

Re: You no say that
We had a chees here in Oz for generation, went by the makers name COON.
But no longer, now has a stupid name.
But in Southampton a couple of years back our luggage being loaded onto the cruise ship by a guy who had definitely been out in the sun, or maybe born that way. He was a bit confused as to where to load.
I asked another guy if the colored man knew his job.
'He is not colored, he is black, any one who is not white is black'
Obviously this man has never been WOKEd but he speaks his mind.
Now just about the a long handles digging tool came along and he knew where to put it.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
