a bit council

[lord trumpton]

Watching ITV, particularly on a Saturday evening when Ant 'n Dec or whatever are on. Oh, on the obligatory council sized TV.

Ok, so a bit council of myself for going on a booze cruise, but when waiting to board the ferry as a foot passenger I saw a tattoo that looks like one of those wolf hoody things! Now I know the Scandinavians love a tattoo, but this is just a step too far. Bonus points for her being on what appeared to be a hen do with one of the party stopping to pump milk out of her breast before they were even on the ferry!



Edit - forgot this picture, it looks like motivational art has reached Denmark...

I'll just leave these here

And with those pictures, this magnificent thread should end. They sum the last couple of hundred pages up perfectly.

The final touch is the cable tie holding the plastic 'alloy' wheel trim on.

[NailedOn]

Well, you seldom see scenes like that at Waitrose.

[MTech535]

We have one of those, complete with cable ties to stop the wheel trims falling off.

Is it cos I is cahncil?

Actually just fed up of buying replacement wheel trims.

[Rosscow]

Surely wheel trims themselves are a bit council?!

Pissing about with ten year old VAG diesel pieces of st all hours of the night.

Cracked or smashed smart phone screen. Double council points if a 'repair' has been attempted with cling film.

And always some sort of st gangsta rap blaring out; FFS; it's Solihull not feckin' Brooklyn

Still, a rather nice looking young lady with the roof peeled back on her Fiat 500 today was playing Florence + The Machine at a suitably loud volume today (Why do Fiat 500's seem only to be driven by pretty females?) That's not a complaint btw, merely an observation

Solihull "a bit council"? Must've gone downhill since I lived there. It used to be the very essence of Middle-class oneupmanship and snobbery, in fact the PH-demographic sweet-spot Id say. If Solihull is a bit council, I wonder what the PH community would make of Chelmsley Wood (also known as North Solihull - except by old Solihull-ites who refuse to acknowledge its official link to Solihull and view it like you might regard a giant tumour growing out of your face)?

Wife dropped her ipohone 6 yesterday completely shattering the screen, I'm wondering what that's going to cost me.

I was in the Army with a lad from Chelmsley Wood, I was under the impression that it was quite posh.

But apart from that, why is it that the most common council families are always the noisiest ones, especially around town on a Saturday afternoon.

If ever you hear very loud comments such as 'FFS Storm, you're dropping your pasty everywhere' , you can guarantee that it's being shouted by an tattooed orange lady in a big sun dress, who is pushing a pram, while her other half Darren, is slouching along behind her puffing on a roly.

Why are they so loud, do they gain credence by counting up how many scowls they get from normal people?

A small bit of cling film apparently. Proper consumer advice from PH, finally. I have about 4 iPhones in my wardrobe with smashed screens that I abandoned after they cut my thumb post-smash.

Split up from your partner (well not really just say you have)

Get made homeless by your parents (well not really just say you have)

Get a kid

Say you've been abused etc

I think there's a direct correlation between intelligence and the volume of normal talking, ie. the louder they are, the lower the intelligence.

Ooooh I'm not sure, I think it's an inverted bell curve.

Have you heard the noise the truly posh can make when they get together?

What's the relationship of poshness (whatever that means) to intelligence then? Being born to a member of the landed gentry by no means guarantees intelligence.
