a bit council

You do get a surprising amount of women offering you sex on estates.

Feasibly because you've got a job , money and maybe a way out of the life they're in.

I was invited into a girls flat once to look at something. She had her female mate in the bedroom wearing something revealing, the pair of them tried it on. However I don't do tenants but there was a lost memory for the bank !!!

You do get a few operatives ie joiners etc having it away with tnts. Personally it's not for me.


However I this'll be a case of some filthy deranged nutter. Or sex case.

In my younger (i.e better looking days) I had the offer of "if you get me a new kitchen I will" etc etc
for various reasons I didn't take the young lady up on her very generous offer. However on a subsequent
visit some time later I couldn't help but notice the glistening formica worktops and shining handles of
newly installed kitchen units.

I'm watching this on catch up now, it's jaw droppingly unbelievable how some people live. I think this area is way beyond "a little bit council" I actually pity these people, especially the kids.

Benefits by the Sea is on C5 right now about this place. It never fails to amaze me what a complete sthole Jaywick is.

That will be pleasant

Does that mean the "dwelling" is occupied by a vivacious single mum who will pounce upon you and vent her sexual frustrations in a most unseemly manner?

Err no.One of my questions to the support worker was "are there likely to be any sharps lying around?"

HD televisions with no HD source.

Very council.

I'm not sure that is possible is it? Basic Freeview comes with HD channels now

Have we had driving without the seatbelt on?

Have we had 'driving along with your kids crawling all over the inside of the car, neither belted in or in any kind of appropriate child seat.

Every time I see this, I can't believe that A) They would do this to their own offspring, and B) They get away with it.

Mind you, whois to stop them? For which also see the 10-20 people I see daily merrily chatting away on their phone whilst driving, caring not a jot who sees them doing it.

Surely we've bought their poor kids a PS4...?

My telly has a HDMI input, but the tuner does not support digital Freeview. It is a 32" LG that I bought about six or seven years ago, and I do not recall finding anything without this function. My parents bought a TV of the same size and make earlier this year and it seemed everything on the market supported Freeview HD and Smart TV.

The only input device on my telly is the DVD player, which is not HD. There are a few genuinely council things on this thread I will own up to, but this is not one of them. Sitting on my arse watching telly does not sit very high on my list of priorities, so I couldn't give a toss if I have no HD source. Personally, I think the higher the specification of your telly, the more council you are. A typical council setup will comprise the following:

• Massive telly from Brighthouse - 60" minimum, but always massively oversized considering the sze of the room. The telly will be mounted on the chimney breast, with the cables on show.
• One of every games console - PS4, X Box and Wii, all of which have HD outputs.
• Sky - the epitome of council.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, a respectable family would have little interest on such a vulgar device as a television set. Evenings are spent around the piano, playing parlour games, or hosting guests. The television would only be brought out for the purpose of watching documentaries on BBC2.

Knowing about tellies, inputs, cables, video consoles: council

I've got a 10yo Pioneer Plasma which was 'HD Ready' .. never used HD and my old skool Sky Box is the non-HD version.

Really need to get round to upgrading, but when Sky HD came out it was something like a tenner extra that I couldn't be @rsed to pay.

However, now I know I'm council ...

Wearing too much deodorant and reapplying on the side of the road - i've just witnessed this

[motco]

I'm still ploughing on with a massively heavy 26" JVC cathode ray tube set - wide screen admittedly but no HD, no HDMI, no tuner that can receive anything any more, supplied with signal by an aging Humax PVR, a DVD player/recorder, and a video cassette machine that might not even still work. The television still works, and while it does, it stays!

'Telly' is pretty council, 'TV' not far off, any semi-humourous terms like 'goggle-box' or 'idiot lantern' are silly affectations. 'Television', if it has to be referred to all, is just acceptable.

I thought of this thread yesterday evening when I drove passed an overweight middle aged man sitting in a bus stop with no top on drinking a can of lager.

TV Show/Film themed clothing? Is that on the list?

I really want a Gas Monkey t-shirt, but I don't think I could bring myself to wear it in public... or at all for that matter.

Then again, I hate obvious branding on clothing anyway.

One that stuck in my mind for this thread after spotting a culprit this morning on the 0715 from Heathrow to Glasgow...

Anyone who puts more than 2 sugars in their tea/coffee, that's council.

I saw a fat family in 'sportswear' smoking and drinking just outside a kiddies play area today.

I thought of this thread.
