I was in Tesco early doors the other day and was walking towards a big Jewish guy wearing a skull cap accompanied by a young guy who I assumed to be his son. Possibly because we were the only folk on the isle I said “good morning”, he smiled and returned the greeting,It got me thinking, would I have done the same if it had been a Muslim & son dressed in their traditional gear? I can’t answer my own question, and if I went looking for a Muslim guy with son dressed in a similar manner and offered the same greeting it still wouldn’t answer my question. I don’t know any Muslims, don’t have any Muslims living close by, don’t have any Muslin friends, don’t have any Muslim run businesses near by, I’m not running into Jews at every turn, but do know a good few, some as friends and business owners. Am I a racist, or is it the Muslim’s place to make the first mone?

Are the pens strapped together side by side? There are shops/stores that I wish my wife was banned from. 😉

Now stop talking common sense, we’re not used to it.

I presume that your daytime job is linked to man management. 💝

The performance against Blackburn, irrespective of the result, was ‘terrible’, so I look forward to a ‘class’ performance against West Brom. 😉

Looking more like 51 points required, hope I’m wrong. 🤨

Settle down now, we’ve only beaten Blackburn. 😉

Poor game, we had some luck for a change, we’re in with a chance of survival, nowt else to say.

If in the very likely event of a draw for third from bottom, survival will be decided on goals scored, so it doesn’t get any easier does it? 🤪

I earned a fair bit more than most in the organisation of which I was a director, I assumed that the M/D earned a fair bit more than me, our salaries were not known by our staff members. In The Public Sector however, the higher paid seniors are obliged to rub the noses of the lesser paid into the dirt.

I can’t help thinking that Vladimir Putin @ Co are smiling from ear to ear at the goings on in the Middle East, I wonder how long it will be before he offers Russian assistance.

Israel are hopelessly outnumbered by Islamic opposition and have to show that they are not phased by it.

Sophie6, unless you are planning a career in comic book journalism you would be well advised to give this poster’s work a miss.

Many moons ago folk like this were sent/recruited to far away lands in the name of free-movement, irrespective of the wishes of them or the indigenous population of such places. We now lump everyone that doesn’t fit the required profile into the same bracket, well it ain’t working, hence this thread. Homelessness , joblessness and many more ness’s derive from something missing in their make up, sort that out and these folk will then be closer to a position to sort themselves out. , Well that’s my two penneth, like it or not.

Were they related to Frank & Kath Drabble who ran The Yorkshireman on Burgess Street?
