Poor speling = council.

Snooker has followed darts and boxing in forcing childish nicknames on the players when they're introduced. It grates.

Just watched a newsreel on pigeon racing. Very council.

Nice to see Jaywick in the news, albeit in tragic circumstances. Jaws must be dropping all over the country at the televised images.

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

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

That deserves more recognition. Not the 'Proms', everyone knows how st they are but the banger racing. Used to go to Arlington Stadium every week to watch it and never saw any competitors there that did not come from a council estate.

For those that know...

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.

The last time I had the misfortune have some snooker appear on my TV, the players were hilariously plastered all over with adverts. I the ads were for mainly for betting companies, proving audience is obviously council.

This apparent dual identity in a nearby High Street has always amused me. Two activities that could hardly be further apart in their spirit!

Maybe they can't spell, and they think it says:

Literally in situ - a snooker club.

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

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.

There's Carhartt and Carhartt WIP. The latter is more of a higher end streetwear sub-brand taking inspiration from the original. Both are worn by the more hipster of the under 40s.

Carhartt now has 2 ranges, the proper work wear stuff and street/fashion wear. The quality difference is night and day.

I still have a Carhartt sweat shirt from my skateboarding days that's over 20 years old and still going strong.

The same applies to Barbour. The original waxed jackets are superb and I still have mine that is now nearly 50 years old, but the modern versions of them are noticeably lower quality. Then there is the fashion stuff. Cheap sweatshop crap that really shows.

That bought back some memories of Aldershot and Wimbledon. More of a council/ caravan dweller mix though I would suggest. We used to play the match game, trying to match reports in the local free paper of stolen cars to cars being raced.
On that note free papers = council.

Do you get bonus st points for not recognising that that whole picture has been (very poorly) photoshopped?

I'd presume the granda is no longer with us, that photo having been taken when he was alive, and the kids have been photoshopped in.

I had to look twice at one of the children's names as I thought it said Draylon.

Rugby.

I'm saying no, far to complicated for football fans to follow, so not council.

League or Union?

Union.

League is obviously council.



ETA: way to late with that... Council.

Using 'to' when it should be 'too'... Council.
