a bit council

dundee steak...

Corned beef, baked bean and cheese toasties, with a sprinkle of cayenne before you put the lid on. Div-eye-n.

Can't beat a bit of Dundee steak

With a bit of 'Glasgow salad' (chips).

At what age does smoking a pipe (not crack) become acceptable?

For some reason, I've got the urge to get a pipe so when my son asks me a question, I can get out my pipe and ponder while I puff away while gazing into the distance before answering him.

Would it be acceptable to smoke a pipe while wearing tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt?

I can't wait until I am old enough to smoke a pipe, just so i can use it in conversations to enforce the point I am making by pointing it at people

Same here.

"I haven't got a fking clue how you beat the 150cc Special Cup in Mario Kart 8"



Works for me. I'm getting one.

I do that with my cigars.

I get that, unfortunately as an ex-smoker the temptation to light it would be too great and I'd end up with a 20 a day cigar habit. The benefit of a pipe is I can just wave it at people and be mildly offensive with my questionable generalisations without people taking the hump "because he's getting on a bit - he's from a different generation".

Has anyone mentioned those little football strips hung in the rear windows of the Mondeos with gaffer tape bumpers?
Or those stickers saying "powered by fairy dust"
Or still having Christmas lights up in March?

That does make sense. My cigars are usually lit if I'm holding one.

And those connotations are brilliant (and true)

I heard "council facelift" the other day relating to hair pulled back really tight in a pony tail.

Is this a common term?

Never heard of it.
Are you referring to a female here, or male?! Or both?

[WD39]

A plastic tomato, full of said red sauce, on the kitchen table AT ALL TIMES.

More commonly referred to as a "Croydon Facelift" on females.

Eating crisps out of the packet.

Indeed. Every time I see someone with a bag of crisps I think they probably paid for them with money they stole from a pensioner's purse. Or shoplifted them. From Lidl, probably, as they are no doubt banned from every other supermarket. The crisp eating scum.

Crisps. More council than Greggs. I always say that.


Well, except I don't, as I'm not utterly insane.

Knew someone would have a 'nibble' at that one...

I have one paccked for my lunch today, I love the feeling of being a bit council sometimes

I did have a thought last night about this thread.

Is eating a bag of Wotsits without your hands (i.e tipping the packet straight into your mouth) a bit council? Or would that only apply if one was eating a generic supermarket brand of "Cheese Curls"?

Eating wotsits with fingers is disgusting. They taint the hands even with a lot of washing. I have been known to eat them with chopsticks to avoid touching.

No idea. Searched for "Croydon Facelift Chav" on Google.
