a bit council

I picked up a TV via Ebay from a less than salubrious area of Manchester last week. When I arrived at three in the afternoon the forty-ish lady of the house opened the door and invited me to inspect the TV. Whilst I was doing this she sat down in her dressing gown and ate from a bowl of cornflakes, occasionally yelling upstairs to her lazy son - Ollie - to get out of bed. I may of course be imagining this, but I'm sure she was flirting with me the whole time.

I'm confused as to which bits are council in this tale. It seems, unless you are a bailiff, that there isn't one thing not council in this entire episode.

1. Dodgy area.
2. Answering in a dressing gown when you know you have company turning up.
3. Sitting down eating cornflakes in your dressing gown and not waiting 15 minutes when there is company present.
4. Shouting upstairs in the presence of a complete stranger.
5. Wanting the D from a complete stranger whilst in a dressing gown and eating cornflakes.

Aside from that I also got:
eBay
Second hand TV
Able to collect during working hours
Manchester
And willing to share personal councilness with others
Also seemingly unaware of own councilness.

When you say 'flirting', you mean 'letting her dressing gown fall open to reveal her tattooed kebab', right?

I just don't like HP sauce.

If I want a different sauce I go for Levi Roots Reggae Reggae sauce of Dragons den fame.

But as any form of 'reality' TV is by definition 'a bit council', you've only make the connection between Levi Roots and Dragon's den via some comment inadvertently read in the Sunday Telegraph?

The Sunday Telegraph?

I'd rather be considered a bit council that kind of wker that reads that rag!

Luckily Zero, who doesn't have ketchup and HP sauce in their house, HP for bacon butties, ketchup for chips.

Hahaha.

There was plenty of (one way) nudge nudge, wink wink chatter.

Stumbled on this on the Mash. It's about a year old so most likely a repost, but I'm not checking and I don't care.

What? Books?

The delightful phrase in reply, observed this morning in the Isle of Dogst (London) as an urchin presumably demanded his 'parent' supply fruit and muesli instead of crisps for breakfast "your not gunna never get none".

Sounds like a line from an Ian Dury song.

In 15 minutes the cornflakes would be mush.

Oh wow, I didn't realise this actually had to be spelt out.

Once the stranger has left, you then proceed to have you breakfast. You don't prep the breakfast as if you are ready to eat and then wait. You just took Audi drivers to a whole new low

Insert whoosh parrot etc because you tried to be funny

Do jog on you sad tt. You are that pathetic you feel the need to look at my garage to try and make a cheap dig, what a knobhead you truly are.

I rest my case

Yeah, I added a point for having books but not making a fuss, then subtracted a couple for old furniture and a turntable. Can I subtract one for sixteenth century bread oven in lieu of bread maker? If so, minus 2

About as 'council as you can get!

Finished up at -2. I do like a choice of sauces....but luckily the old furniture and the record player and bread maker (used almost daily) did the deed

[jas xjr]

How about police cars? I never see one normally but I was in a "council area," and saw several in a matter of minutes.

Surely a set of 'decks' counts as a record player. Very council I would have thought?

Still listening to vinyl makes you a bit of a plonker doesn't it?
