Our recent new neighbours turned up in a white transit which is parked on the front lawn.
The driver, called vest man due to the constant wearing of white vests in place of a shirt, he has a Rodney Bews 1970's haircut and is coverd in tattoos.
He was off work sick recently and walked with a crutch, apart from the day he was digging the back garden using a spade.
He's certainly brought a bit a class to our street since he sold his council house!!!

Seeing as its election day:
how about this email from a tenant to an income officer at the association where I work:
From: XXXXX [mailto:XXXXXXX@sky.com]
Sent: 05 May 2015 14:35
To: XXXXXXXX
Subject: working class people should vote for the party of the working class!
now then XXXXX, i gotta ask - are you voting conservative like last time - coz thanks to people like you ive just had my DLA stopped.
cheers for that!
we noted that on benefits, the person has a sky email address.
The officer that the person emailed, works full time for a living and cannot afford to have sky TV, on top of paying their bills and living.
oh the irony.
I recall, some 20 years ago, another colleague being told "if folk like you paid more tax, I could have more benefits".
my colleague nearly hit the moron in question.

Pulling wheelies. Then proceeding down the road as far as possible on the back wheel only. I was reminded of this as I observed the behaviour, expertly demonstrated by two yoots on pushbikes this morning, the kind of angry looking lads I'd have hidden from at school (I was small and ginger).

Sort of the same thing. Riding with no hands on the pavement. Usually close to really, really busy main road.wildcat45 said:

Nope. Lack of involvement (while still whinging) is council.
Absolutely. Also maybe on the edge of council, this.
Voting Labour 'Cos Maggie closed the pit/steelworks/shipyard and f
ked us all over' It was a valid argument 20 or so years ago but to anyone born after 1984 or so it makes bugger all sense. Unless of course you are some complacent fat arsed Labour MP creaming in the money while doing fk all for the brainless tts in their depressed Northern sthole who voted you in and who will continue to do so.20 years old, no job because Maggie - who was no longer in power 20 years ago - shut the local coal mine the year before you were born.

"Yoots". 
"I'm sorry - what did you say?"
"Yoots".
"Excuse me. What?"
"I said yoots. I'm sorry Judge, I meant two young men....."
One of my never-get-tired-of-watching films.

Glad someone spotted that, one of my favourites too.SilverSixer said:

Sorry but pulling wheelies (as long as it's done casually and for over 100m) is cool..........or am I showing my council roots

Wheelies are cool, I could never do them

SilverSixer is my pal with an impressionable young boy.
Memo to self: go round his most non-council gaff and teach young 'Sixer how to wheelie.
I can also teach him how to sit on the handlebars and ride backwards. That ain't council.
What would make it council is doing it on a stolen bike to taunt the police who are chasing you.Memo to self: go round his most non-council gaff and teach young 'Sixer how to wheelie.
