When will people forget about fking Diana.

I don't think that I'd forget if I'd f****d Diana, if there was
a lapse in conversation, I'd probably say, "Have I told you
about the time that I f****d Diana, Princess of Wales?

Or, as Prince Philip said as he licked a postage stamp - "I've had her......"

I knew a bloke who had a chum who'd shaken hands with Prince Philip, and when he shook hands with me he said that I'd now shaken the hand of the hand shook the hand of bloke who shook the hand that held the dick that fked the Queen!

Sitting in my parent's garden on a beautiful bank holiday afternoon in rural Mid Devon. All I can hear is the sound of birds, the occasional cow and oh, bloody Motocross bikes holding a fking trials weekend across the valley. Noisy, inconsiderate, fking, Council house dwelling verminous wkers. All of them revving the bks off their bikes. tts. They're all camping there in their caravans and motorhomes. fk it, I'm getting up at 5 tomorrow morning and I'm going to drive past with my hand held firmly on the horn. s.

As I was saying, Motocross, Council.

Was it trials (definitely NOT council) or Motocross? Or not a sanctioned event at all? There's a big difference.

Ah, showing my ignorance. It's a big muddy field the farmer has ploughed a track into. Lots of interesting looking folk in bodged white sprinters/transits have turned up and appear to be razzing about. Motocross would be the answer. It would appear to enter the event you text or send a Facebook message. Sure it's all above board, but it's one hell of a racket and you can see the town in the background, you can't see the hills around the track that reflect the sound back in the direction of the town. Still, I suppose it makes a change from the local gun club blatting clays on a Sunday. I'll go and get my pipe and slippers now.

You are quite correct in the council assessment of motocross.

On my patch we suffered for many years with this menace. You don't have to live close by to be intruded by this monstrous din, It was quite audible as I picked up the children from school, and that was two miles distant.

No amount of complaining made a scrap of difference to the perpetrators. Fotunately this nuisance has now subsided.

That they didn't care about the neighbours=gold star council.

These
staycations aren't all they're cracked up to be are they.
Bravo on your choice of edgy locations though.

At least I have guaranteed that my wife will be booking our next accommodation. The empty diazepam packet we found while walking the dog by the pub we stayed at probably clinched the deal.

Yes, they are ridiculously noisy! I think you and I are thinking of the kind of creatures below.


Whilst canAm is thinking of this, which looks far more respectable.

I have to agree. I have one and I've had a few over the years but I admit they just are a bit council. I think the aggressive, relentless advertising and marketing is what does it

I can't agree.

Council would go for something much more bling. Breitling perhaps or more like a Casio Edifice.

Nothing council about Casio watches: whether the cheapest digital, a G-Shock, Edifice or even calculator watch

They're either far too practical or insufficiently brand showy for the various council types.

Sir or madam will be wanting a Michael Kors watch in 'rose gold' I believe.

"Food critic Giles Coren sparks outrage for blasting a Devon seaside town as 'filled with day-tripping tattooed fatties' in a scathing review

Giles Coren visited Mothecombe Beach, near Plymouth, Devon, to review a cafe. He handed the eatery a positive review but launched into a tirade against locals

He wrote: 'The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. And whether he giveth and taketh in exactly the way that you were hoping for is not up to you.

'Only recently, for example, he tooketh away the beautiful private beach in Devon where I have holidayed for the past five Julys and gavethed it to the general public.

'And I was gutted, because I now have to share the beach with a load of tattooed fatties day-tripping from Plymouth, with their barbecues and their loud music and their tents and windbreaks and their swearing and their topless sunbathing and their rank, loutish littering."

I have just returned from a trip to Great Yarmouth. It was the most council place ive seen for years.
It was just full of really badly dressed mainly overweight council dwellers.
I cant understand how people can go out looking like they were.
Surprisingly not many dole poles but i suppose you dont need them when not near your local social office.

Bride up duff. Council/aristocracy.

How did you work that our from the photo?

Or are you in some way responsible for her condition?

Any way hen nights with humvee limos = Uber council!

Disclaimer - I'd still happily disappoint pretty much everyone of them ( I'm sure someone said that is council earlier too, who cares! )

The bride hass a sash on saying "Bride" and it's either that or she's got wind


It wasn't me

Shirtless Neanderthals in the local shopping center, in this particular instance making a scene in the 3 store

Classy!

I've not been to Plymouth for a while, but a few weeks back I was in Poole for Quay for my Car event.

Walking along the Quay and into the town, I have never seen so many homeless looking types, dossing down in doorways, drinking what looks like meths, smoking roll ups made from discarded butt ends from the street.

And everyone of them covered in home grown tattoos, with a manner of strange facial piercings, looking every bit like scum monkies.

I don't think I'm a snob type who looks down on people, but they made me feel dirty and uncomfortable!

jonmx own username then, is council?!

Surprised the LA let the race happen there. I used to do MX until I was 22, and I was bloody good at it. EVERY track I raced was out in the sticks. Annual Weston Super Mare beach race was mental, though!!

For telling it like it is, sadly a rarity these days, Giles Coren, my hero.

BTW.In the Mail article, it's all very well that the Devonian and Cornish natives criticise the tourists and call them silly names, but where would they be without the considerable numbers that visit those fair counties? Two rural backwaters hanging off the end of the UK, that's where.
