www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14513517Oh dear. 'Whites have become black...' Outrage to follow and Starkey set to be ostracised... In some respects he's right ...'an extension of commercialism...a young woman trying on a pair of trainers outside a looted clothes shop...' But I don't believe it's a racial issue...Last Saturday night perhaps...but not over the last four days .

Fascinating!
When it is obvious from what you've seen on TV, even if you weren't there, that the riots are not a racial thing, you can at least blame black culture for having infected white people!!

Sad that we still live in a country where opinions and ideas can't be voiced without PC witch hunters wanting to burn a few more non-conformers and people guilty of thought crimes.

It'll take a while for Starkey to scrape that off his foot. Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. He has a talent for carefully selecting some obnoxious position to take up, and then ranting about it at great length. And he has the obnoxious voice to go with it. He and Melanie Phillips make a matching pair. But she probably knows more about history.

I bought my satnav in Kendal, after getting lost somewhere in Lancashire earlier in the day.
That'll be all I have in common with Starkey.

I think our Jean would wipe the floor with Starkey. My Grandparents would always listen to Family Favourites and The Clitheroe Kid when I was very young (a mere toddler) so I adopted a very odd accent indeed up to me being about 19...

As for That'll be all I have in common with Starkey. Just as well you changed your avatar, so we can't check the details.

Oh I don't know...give or take a pair of glasses and a barrel of beer... So that's the gratitude I get. I hate you. Bloody southerners — they're all the same*. I should know better at my age. ___________ * Except Ev.

Weyland gets it horribly wrong..."all Southerners are the same y'naw!" The Newcastle United fan was this afternoon in hiding ...apparently behind a beer barrel...(and I'm not surprised after Barton's disgraceful display yesterday evening...grrrrrrrrrr)

Weyland gets it horribly wrong..."all Southerners are the same y'naw!" Y'naah. Another bloody southern poser. Nowt to do with the fans, kidda. As for your "The Newcastle United fan", see Premier League gates. Third highest average gate and third highest total gate last season. Eat your heart out. Feckin' southerners.

You're a handsome bunch I'll give you that! As for the gate I believe one fan counts as two.

As for the gate I believe one fan counts as two. Why aye, man. The going rate is one Magpies fan = two Gooners (see last line of post). (I have no Magpies shirt. My son has two. They wouldn't fit me.) ~ No comment either reqired or forthcoming. ~ As for style, I think we can agree that Blackburn Rovers has a certain cachet . . . ~ The Glendale Arms, in Byker, has an arrow sign in the Gents that says URINAL. And another pointing to the stalls that says ARSENAL. That is true wit, and I don't think even a Gooner could disagree. (Yes, "Gooner". The diction south of the Tyne leaves a lot to be desired, y'naah.)
