fat freckled chubsters with diamante studs through their cheeks, lips, noses etc, crushing fake Ugg boots beneath vastly overweight thighs, hanging around the local costcutter on "payday" (eg Giro day) smoking L+B whilst eating chips from the tray and shouting at LaFawnda.

sitting in a wheelchair and propelling yourself with your own feet. I really don't get that, but it is always people from just one demographic.
Rank alongside folk who use disability scooters because they're too fat and/or too lazy to walk. sitting in a wheelchair and propelling yourself with your own feet. I really don't get that, but it is always people from just one demographic.
People who treat energy drinks as a soft drink. I know some folks who drink 6 or 8 cans a day - I really can't believe that can be good for you. It's been a triumph of marketing - it's now a sort of fashion statement. Surely not that many people need an energy lift?
When sipped for the right reason - not council. When used as a soft drink - very council.

I sometimes have a red bull at about 3:00a.m when I'm on nights (I know nightshifts are a bit council).
They can make a real difference then, although not very good for you I suppose.
That's what they're for. Not as a refreshment. I seem to recall that when Red Bull first came out, some governments wanted to ban them, or at least were very suspicious about their contents and what the effect might be in the long term.They can make a real difference then, although not very good for you I suppose.
Seems to be the soft drink of choice on council estates.

Comments about the girls in the background on the TG thread.
You've confused 'council' with 'cringe'.It's more a sad middle aged man thing when it comes to PH (i.e. perfect PH demographic).
Presumably you've noticed any thread on here where a female member posts?
Out of interest is it more or less 'council' in your opinion than taking sandwiches to work?

Being in the top gear audience is definitely council. You see all those grinning loons with their girlfriends shoved to the front in the hope that Jezzer might want to test drive them.
Disagree, see above.I see more boring middle aged men with crap jeans and automotive branded fleeces in the Top Gear audience than England shirts, Reebok classics and sovereign rings.
I know people want to distance themselves from things they don't like and imply they are 'council' but as I've mentioned previously it's not the same thing. Dare I say it makes said individuals look very 'try hard'.
All IMVHO of course.

Oh yes, but it seems more desperate (as opposed to common/council) when people reply to female PHers directly on the forums with a "pics" or whatever. g3org3y said:

I've already relented to Adenauer, that maybe sandwiches are OK... they just make ME feel council!
I'm gonna regret ever having said that!
k off!

This isn't actually a serious thread you know. I see more boring middle aged men with crap jeans and automotive branded fleeces in the Top Gear audience than England shirts, Reebok classics and sovereign rings.
