21st Century Dead Pool

[tinman0]

Not thinking so much about dead people, but about what innocent activity or item is going to get stepped on next by the PC brigade.

I've got my money on scones being banned next.

For being racist of course. (They are English and white and might offend other races).

[puggit]

Well driving is the obvious one...

How about BBQ-ing? Very dangerous!

Or now that we can't be amateur sparkys, maybe they'll go the full hog and ban DIY?

[lazyitus]

I have it on good authority that the next target will be the Red Cross.

They are being ordered to get rid of the famous red cross on a white background as it is disrepectful to sheep that are welsh and poorly.

We can but hope!

Or less funnily shooting

The class war will continue.

I'm a little surprised that it's still legal, nay, encouraged, to go to B&Q and buy a handheld circular saw that can take your leg off in a second.

Hey, let's all go to a crumbling French outhouse, pay £60K for it (when the Frogs know it's worth f* all) and make an MDF coffee table and paint it lime green

Judging by the news today it is cash machines that charge £1.50. Personally I think that if you are too dim to realise that a random stand alone cashpoint in a wine merchant/bar/grocery store will more than likely charge you, then you deserve it .....Let us just ban stupid people!!

edited to say I know it is a bit off topic... but it just annoyed me today that MPs seem so upset about it when there are more important things to worry about!

Structural DIY of any kind will be banned one day.

Mark my words.

[mybrainhurts]

Looking at people causes lots of trouble...

Bound to be banned.....

[mybrainhurts]

I was going to say we'll soon need a crap licence....

But we've got one already.....

It pays for the BBC......

You know the only reason for that is that there are two cash machines in embankment tube station next to each other. One charges and the other doesnt.

At lunchtime the plebians all queue up at the one that doesn't charge, and the MP's dropping into the west end go straight for the one that charges.

They really are pretty dim you know!

[towman]

Commuting may well be banned one day.

Keeping of pets (they have rights too y`know)

Fishing for pleasure
Fishing for food
Fishing for compliments

Anything red,white and blue

Competitive sport

Anything "posh"

Wealth

Owning a house with more bedrooms than occupants

English speaking staff in shops (It`s started already)

and, err, thats it.

Oh yes, Private Eye (and anything satirical)

Sorry Towman me ol' mate, I love your humour, but I am sorry to disagree with what ("me old son")you say. You live in a different part of the UK than "what I do".

The NW Ste' has been betrayed. I know this is "hard" for your SE region to understand, and we feel that we do not reside in the same country. But we and others, genuinely fear that it IS, what is eventually coming to you in the SE,

We cannot survive as an "offshore", low tax, low wage,econommy of Europe, no matter what what Government we chose. You will have protection , "for a while" but when Europe collapses, as it will! Will you survive? Nope, sorry Ste, "market forces an' all that". The U.S. dictates.( biggest gorrila rules).

We will I forsee become the "iceland" of Europe. I'm only glad that I'm the age I am Ste', God help you! Please just pay my pension for a few years more! You know me, I hope, I'm no lillyliver, I really hope that the South does not have to endure the destruction that we endured in the North during the hated "Thatcher era". But I fear: "You will" And the upshot is: It don't matter who you vote for because it's already been decided elsewhere! Cheerful bastard aren't I? Just remember my warning, right?


An' if you can't say on cash machines which you supply: "Withdrawals will cost you £1.50" (in big letters) then you're a cheatin' capitalist Tw*t!!! Is there any other excuse you can think up?
