If snooker is council (and Victorian toffs did look down their noses - billiards was the gentleman's sport) then what does that make pool?

Clearly pool is council as it is a septic thing

I would like to nominate "beach volleyball" (femail version) as a non-council sport. Been watching it all afternoon in Los Cristianos, whilst Mrs Marky is having a spar day.

Shopping in Spar. Super council.

Gender Reveal parties......got to be Council surely?!

I've been invited to one. It sounds awful!

Claim you misunderstood, and that's why you got your cock out. You'll never have to go to another

Tenerife holiday?

I don't even have to say the word.

Union is played down south, by folk so poor they can only rent a house which by its very nature is council…league is played oop north in a small corridor based on M62 (and by the Jam Eaters of West Cumbria) by exceptionally large gentlemen we bring in from New Zealand, Samoa and our smaller but faster cousins from former penal colonies.

EFA

Jameaters. How the residents of Whitehaven insult the residents of Workington.

The residents of Workington insult the residents of Whitehaven by calling them jameaters.

Very Cumbrian, marra, eh.

Cumbria, council.

Whitehaven, last mainland place invaded by enemy forces. Uber council.

And "baby showers" whatever the fudge those are supposed to be. I assume everyone wears man made fibre clothing for a start.

High School 'Proms' with all the transatlantic pizazz that it drags along with it, and also on a separate subject; banger racing.

Have we had the Uber council brand “Hoodrich” yet?

Hoodrich are a copycat brand of Trapstar. Not bothering to design your own clothes and just copying someone elses designs? Council.

As a side note, anybody wearing Trapstar or Hoodrich past the age of 18 is way past council and in to cringe.

And to think, there is a whole thread on why private schools are needed. Must have been a rhetorical post.

I have never seen anyone in it that didn’t look like they steel hubcaps

I'm struggling to understand Carhartt - American workwear, not a desirable street brand.

Carhart is well made work wear, not for wearing a fashion item.

And the Americans got pissed and forgot they were invading so went home.

surely the only proper things to put on one's toast are:

- marmalade
- preserve

Yes my heart sank when I just came back to the thread and reread my post. I knew someone would notice

Well, it was cold and raining, the pub was dry and warm. No contest, a few pints or someone shooting at you.

As an aside, that famous sticky carpeted hostelry, the John Paul Jones, didn't survive Covid and closed.

[Steve vRS]

Most of the pubs in Whitehaven that I used to frequent have gone. Sadly Joe Bananas is still there.

Joe Bananas - council.

I don't - if rugby is council, it's certainly not on the same plane of council as football and football "supporters".

I'd say a non-council sport, despite the best efforts of the gambling companies sponsoring it, would be snooker. No way a councilist audience would be able to keep quiet and only politely applaud every so often.

I'd also say club level motorsport - luckily all the chavs and wasters seem to stick to attending BTCC or MotoGP events (as evidenced by the air horn usage), and leave the low-level and classic events alone

Snooker is a funny one. Historically it has been non-council. The hushed audience, evening dress, long matches requiring concentration and composure. The gentlemanly conduct of the players. All of these things make it the great sport that it is. In my opinion. But then I am a crucible regular.

The powers that be in the sport do appear though to be hell-bent on throwing all the positive things out of the window and dumbing down the game and making it as council as they possibly can. Why? God knows, council games must generate more money. As with a lot of things these days, there seems to be an anxiety that the matches are too long, too 'fuddy duddy', too boring, and therefore there needs to be a headlong race to the bottom until it's mixed-doubles dressed in dryrobes smashing balls round the table in a best of three against the clock/claxon. Played in a gym and sponsored by Greggs.

So, in summary: Snooker: World Championship - NOT council. All other tournaments - council. And yes, that includes The Masters.

And their more sophisticated neighbours in Whitehaven.

Petty regional rivalries, council

The very first time in history that the term sophisticated and Whitehaven have been used in the same sentance !

I enjoyed that, thank you
