  1. He should have looked at the door he was carrying to see if it had a number on it.
  2. Tell the taxi driver you're poor and he'll subsidise you from the takings from his rich passengers.
  3. You don't have to buy a ticket before you get on the train. The offence is to travel without a ticket and without trying to buy a ticket off the conductor before you get off the train. Lots of people buy tickets off the conductor. The downside is that cheap returns aren't available if you buy on the train. Once I tried to buy a ticket off the conductor but he couldn't sell me one as he didn't have his machine so I travelled for free. But that wasn't my fault and no offence as I'd made the effort to pay. You can also travel without having money if you give the conductor your name and address and pay later. The best way round this is for all trains to have conductors, not to install barriers.
  4. I sympathise, mate. What's wrong with driving at 43mph in a car park. Last year I did a spot of mass murder in an area where there were no signs saying Mass Murder Prohibited and this copper jumped out and nicked me. He wasn't even wearing a high visibility jacket. And some people think I'm a self-centred, whinging danger to the public.
  5. Oxfam in Nether Edge used to throw books out but stopped after a decorator found an original copy of Black Beauty in a skip. It was worth about 700 quid, the book not the skip. Nether Edge and Broomhill Oxfam both turn over more than 100,000 quid a year each, both are in Oxfam's top ten grossers nationally and so they must both be doing something right.
  6. You must live on Scriven's road. Whatever anyone thinks of Scriven that Perfect Day video is just so awful it sums up the man as someone with a big ego and small talent. And I don't just mean his singing. But he was on Radio 4 recently saying the election results were a temporary blip so why is he standing down?
  7. And it's surprising how many people patriotic enough to fly the union flag have such poor English they can't spell scumbags and businesses, and don't know the difference betwen their and there.
  8. Quite apt seeing as the BNP now ressembles a beached whale.
  9. I won the second half. Then again I was the only runner.
  10. Yeah but as nothing seems to change the point should continue to be made. The other night I got a bus to Woodseats from town and paid £1.95. I came back on a different bus and it was £1.50. And when I got on the bus in town the driver told me the bus doesn't go to Woodseats even though the route map at the bus stop said it did. And the bus coming back had Chesterfield on the front till I told the driver and he changed it. Public transport should be a public service. If nurses or teachers were as incompetent there'd be an outcry. It shouldn't be any different with bus drivers.
  11. Count yourself lucky not havng to listen to that tuneless, soulless corporate rock.
  12. And why did Labour have to bail out the banks? Because of their own neglect in failing to regulate them properly. Instead of following Milton Friedman-like dogma along with the Americans in letting markets be as free as they want, they should have clamped down on the excessive speculation and lending the banks were up to. Labour turned a blind eye to it all, mesmerised by the rich and their greed. That's one of the reasons Labour only got 29% a year ago.
  13. It didn't do you much good though, did it? But then if the UAF are saying you're an idiotic Nazi then that's not exactly good publicity that's going to get you many votes, is it? The BNP's finished. Don't give up the postman job.
  14. 4th out of 5, young Mr Pont. I watched his Youtube clip and you couldn't hear what he was saying for the traffic. What a numpty. The BNP will implode completely now. They all got smashed in Barnsley too and lost their councillors in Stoke, if not everywhere. In Thurrock they resorted to attacking a polling station and throwing eggs about. It looks like they'll give up losing elections and go back to marching and sieg-heiling, which is the only thing they've ever been any good at.
  15. I voted yes to AV but I have to admit the debate hasn't really taken off and the vote looks like it will be lost just because so many people hate Nick Clegg. Actually I hate him too but not enough to put me off voting for AV. You can only blame the parties for not explaining the issues enough. With hindsight it may have been better to have had the AV vote on a different day so that party politics didn't come into it as much.
  16. "Between 5'7 and 6 foot Black Long black dreadclocks tied back Cap on when he came into store track suit attire South London accent". Given your description it shouldn't be difficult to find him even though you haven't mentioned his age but how do you know he has a South London accent? I can never tell the difference between accents from different parts of London. Why don't you post the film you have on the net - Youtube, say - and force the police to so somehting? The Star often has CCTV pictures of alleged shoplifters. You could try them too.
  17. Well that's one. Any more? Vote YES to AV by the way. Against Cameron, not just for Clegg. The Tories are the bigger problem.
  18. Nothing to do with the EU. It's run by the Council of Europe which has 47 members, 20 more than the EU. But I was down West Street a couple of hours ago and there were 3 blokes outside the Jobcentre wearing those plastic track suits, hoods and baseball caps. One was drinking a can of lager and they were all karate-kicking each other. I can't think of anything more pathetic than that dress. It's a uniform for social inadequates. It's like people are dressing so they can look like the lowest dregs. The chance of any of them getting work is zero. I think over the last 20+ years, since Thatcher, Major and Blair created and maintained this underclass of the permanently unemployed, these people have developed a culture to look like the social outsiders they are. It's not even a stigma, but a uniform, as if they're proud of their lack of status. When there was full employment you never saw people like that. But now there's this underclass that's been left to live on benefits for life. You see them down West Street.
  19. I know someone who's a union steward at the council. He had a meeting with Scriven to complain about the cuts. Scriven walked in and said that as the meeting wouldn't change anything it wasn't worth holding but if the union wanted it to go ahead he, Scriven, would stay and listen out of courtesy. The steward said he'd like Scriven to stay and listen to the union's grievance anyway. At this Scriven said he couldn't be bothered to stay and listen after all, and walked out instead despite what he'd just said. Alright I wouldn't have voted Lib-Dem anyway but that story's as good as any as a reason why not to vote for them.
  20. Yeah but you can't get all your takeaways flown in from there. They'll be cold by the time they get here.
  21. I'd never use a small independent travel agency like this shower. I went to Costa Teguise last year through Thomas Cook. I know large organisations can screw up but I think you're better off paying a bit more but having that guarantee of reliability a big operator provides. If there are thousands of you in a mess it tends to get on the news and someone does something. The only problem I had there was that they promised me a room with a sea view, something that I could only have acheived with a pair of binoculars and an eighty foot neck.
  22. I don't blame you for reacting like that. Canvassers are just annoying no matter whether it's for organisations like Shelter that I support or anti-abortionist nutters, one of whom once told me on Fargate that she had evidence of mass murder in Sheffield. I told her to go to the police in that case. Shelter ones are really false with the smile and cheery persona. They should all be allowed to have stalls that people can approach but not to approach people. I always tell them I'm already late for work and must dash.
  23. Is this bloke the smackhead in Broomhall? I've heard he walks about with boltcutters so he can nick, sell and buy his fix in the shortest period of time possible.
  24. Is that right? I thought it was named after Walthamstow and Stratford, E17 and E15 respectively. Leyton and Leytonstone lie between them, typical working class East London. Between Walthamstow and Ilford there's a lot of forest and middle-class suburbia. Ilford actually has an Essex postcode, starting IG.
  25. The reason the Union Flag (get it right) should be banned is because the people who display it most, the un PC loony right like the EDL, BNP, etc, only start beating each other up when they get together. The EDL did this a few weeks ago in Blackburn and the BNP last Saturday, St George's Day of all days, in West Yorkshire. So fly the Union Flag and fascists will start trying to kill each other. Personally I feel that's the best reason it should be flown.
