One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 4
Discussion
A bit of knobbish behaviour that I've seen quite a few times on the forum... The self-appointed meme-police.
PH has a rich tapestry of memes that have sprung up organically over the years. Whether it be the goatee-bearded powerfully-built director, the lunatic hammering frozen sausages into a lawn, bumming a man's dog and stealing his wife, or one of the more recent ones... dominating the stairs to ward off a home-invasion. No-one thinks that these are so hilarious that any reader will spontaneously soil themselves upon reading it for the hundredth time, but it's part of PH culture, that thing which unites us beyond our love of cars.
When I see a reference to one of these memes, I might crack a smile as I think "Ha, yes, that's something we say on PH!" But almost invariably... I'd say 90% of the time... some grumpy git will come on to post "That's not funny, it never has been and people should stop posting it", as if the PH memes should all stop simply because they want it to be a serious place devoid of joy. It hasn't escaped me that perhaps the "grumpy git in response to a meme" is itself a meme that simply goes over my head. But it makes me feel that they are making PH just a little less joyful when I see someone moaning about someone posting one of the above.
Which is why I hammer frozen sausages into their lawns.

there are posters on here who don't like references to things that were before their time, and think that anyone who has been here longer than they have is a bellend.

The chap in an Audi Q7 that appeared 2 ft behind my wife, myself and some other folk walking through the pedestrianized bit in Wilmslow then park right outside outside Cafe Nero to get his coffee and then drive off.
Not really getting the pedestrianized bit, to be fair he did look a prick of the highest order and was subject to a lot of filthy looks, being Wilmslow nobody said anything.

Frozen sausages, when first used, was a fantastically imaginative suggestion and still makes me laugh today.PH has a rich tapestry of memes that have sprung up organically over the years.

I fully believe people like that only do so, because nobody ever says anything. Not really getting the pedestrianized bit, to be fair he did look a prick of the highest order and was subject to a lot of filthy looks, being Wilmslow nobody said anything.

i take the clipper when i can
The only time I have used it, is when both the DLR and jubilee are down and I am in Canary Wharf on the day.During one of the strikes even the clipper was too busy, so I ended up running 30mins to/from London Bridge.

Once you actually found a black cab, and assuming there wasn't a pretty girl flagging down the taxi you'd spotted first, and assuming you weren't heading in the opposite direction to the cabbie's house, you just told him where you wanted to be and hey presto that's where you ended up.
Or ANYWHERE less desirable.
Or (in the bad old days, Pre mid 80s) you were Black!
There's a reason Uber are winning and the LTDA has to extort pressure on City Hall. Uber are faster, cleaner, more comfortable, more likely to pay correct taxes and you don't end up in an Uber going the "tourist route" to bump the fare up.
Addison Less suffer because everyone knows they are driven by d
heads. So why when you aren't driving would you want to get in their car and keep them employed?I'd go so far as to say that realistically in London all you need is the underground!
Full disclosure, I picked up plenty of black people, young and old in The City, where they were suited and booted, and I was pretty confident that I’d get the meter fare, but if they wore a hoody, or a ball cap back to front, forget it, I’m not a racist, I’m a realist.
Uber are more likely to pay correct taxes? Maybe they are, but who considers who is the most likely to tell HMRC the truth when they’re looking for a taxi at night?
The “Tourist Route?” another canard which may have happened years ago, but my hand to God, when someone got in my taxi and asked for Blank Street, I took them the exact same route that I would have wanted the driver to take if I was paying the fare.

Kilburn and Cricklewood are hardly like The Bronx
Or do you prefer it's Camden counterpart, West Hampstead? Being a "realist" might make you lose out on a lot of fares from decent people. Not every black guy will pull a knife on you, or run from the cab after claiming to "stop to get money from the cashpoint", especially in this age of Contactless Payments, and Central Locking in the cab...donkmeister said:

Those people must have really struggled with the 'Fast Show' which relied on repeated humour - each character had their own catchphrases and a large part of the humour was the repetition of that - e.g. Swiss Toni's "... is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman".PH has a rich tapestry of memes that have sprung up organically over the years.
