Ugh, football fans piss me off.

LOL

[el Chi]

Oh I do so love racial stereotypes!
Please excuse me whilst I go and take tea and crumpets with Her Majesty, then shave all my hair, wear some gaudy gold Sovereign rings and knock seven shades of shit out of someone I've never met for wearing a different football shirt to mine and if they're European, so much the better. Then I shall go and colonize another country and stun people with my repressed sexual views and awful teeth. Pip pip, guv'nor.

I look forward to their description of the average black guy who probably spends all day eating watermelon and fried chicken :hmph:

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Penny to shine yur shoes sir?


...eating fried chicken, as well as having shall we say less repressed sexual views? :O

Its funny how guys with girl friends get wary of black people in particular...they think that somehow this man will impregnate their women from afar.

 

[Recoil]

Ja, and I will go and eat some sausage with sauerkraut and drink a barrel of beer in my windmill, while invading sorrounding EU-countries and rounding up the minorities etcpp. because our leatherpants- and blonde-mustache-wearing soccer-team closely lost the last worldcup. Blabla... :hmph:

 

[el Chi]

But I thought they could? After all, they all have incredibly large penises, don't they? Not that one likes to talk about such vulgar matters.

EDIT:Speaking of British stereotypes, that resistance Captain in HL2 was so over-the-top I was stunned. In a good way, mind.

 

[Bad^Hat]

No, black guys just have great aim.

if you found my comentary offensive sorry

 

[ailevation]

:cheers: Don't forget great athleticism. And monster pe... :O

 

[el Chi]

if you found my comentary offensive sorry

Not even a little bit

I was mostly being ironical. Mostly. Although I was a tad offended by the article's sweeping accusations that I intend to refute with every last shred of my being, God save the Queen, pip pip, what what, et cetera, et cetera.

 

[blahblahblah]

Penny to shine yur shoes sir?

Why certainly. You better do a good job if you want that penny.

What I find funny is that people automatically assume I am smart just because I were glasses. I could walk up to me and they think I know about the entire world just because I were glasses. I don't think it is a bad stereotype, but it gets annoying sometimes.

Point? Stereotypes suck.

 

[el Chi]

Yes, and well done for just shattering the stereotype that Americans don't appreciate irony :cheers: Well done indeed!

 

[CyberSh33p]

I must going, comrades, I have appointment with liver doctor, we are going to drink a few rounds of vodkaski while praising lenin and then eat potatos until we pass outski

He's not actually british, he's american.

He fakes the british accent and tells crazy tales to his fighters.

That crazy captain Odessa.

(This info is true by the way, taken from the raising the bar book)

did you check his teeth? if his gnashers are all yellow and wonky then he's one of us! :cheese:

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

It's funny because stereotypes wouldn't exist if there wasn't that tiny pinch of truth at one point in time to them. And you know it ;p.

 

[Gunner]

Hmm yeah, besides it's a known fact that british tourists are rated as the worst tourists in the world.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/2137729.stm

Every where I go on holiday, especially in Prague to visit my parents I see these gangs of twenty-thirty british guys completely drunk on beer shouting and chanting in the streets and it doesn't matter what time of the day it is, they're always like that.

 

[Dux]

I blame the increasingly large chav population.

<Shudders> Ugh. I've grown to despise that word. It's such a stupid little "trendy" buzz-phrase that's rubbish. Like really really rubbish. It's the kind of thing d*ck-head Geography teachers say because they saw it once written in the Daily Telegraph so they can try and sound "hip" and "down wit da kidz."
Scally's a much better word. So is townie.

The 'Queen of the chavs' (Daniella Westbrook) said it was the 'buzz-word of 2004' apparently...but its not... it's a phenomenon thats been around for far too long and needs stamping out asap.
And dont diss Geography

Oh, and Scally does sound allot better. It's more degrading.

 

[el Chi]

I wouldn't piss on Daniella Westbrook if she was on fire. In fact, I'd probably set her on fire to start with.
And yes, a thinning out of Britain's inferior underclass is a long time coming.

Interesting, because round here everyone uses the word scally, and in fact towny (Sbut to a lesser extent) and I have only heard the word chav used once...The guy who used it was what I would call a trendy scally. Basically a scally, but one who wears "up market" trendy :x clothing.

I agree though, its a very annoying word. Someone on the news used it once...He didn't call someone a chav, but it was still silly in the context.

The word scally originally came from what people called people form Liverpool. Now its most scouser though.

 

[LAYP]

Wait I can't tell whats going on, I live in holland so I must be high and having a prostitute.

 

[el Chi]

Basically a scally, but one who wears "up market" trendy :x clothing.

So genuine Burberry then? Well, you can't polish a turd...


LAYP : Yes! Also, aren't you wearing wooden clogs, living in a windmill eating Edam cheese and having your thumb in a dyke?
And no, not is a lesbian

 

[Reaktor4]

One of dick van dykes relatives then?

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

People don't wear burberry round here. It was a fad for a while but thankfully it passed.

Its not about wearing glasses in the UK that determines whether your a geek, its the type of glasses you wear.

Thick-black ones= Extremely geeky
Stylish, thin frames (silver)= Cool/Pimp/Pervert

I think just about everybody hate townies, especially 13 year old ones.

 

[Fat Tony!]

Its hard to get a general impression of british people really. We are all so varied

Nah, that's not true! If you've got rectangular sort-of-thick black rimmed ones then it's cool too. In a slightly yuppy/emo-kid kind of way.

 

[LAYP]

emo, yech

Q:How many emo kids does it take to screw a lightbulb?
A1: two, but they forget about the lightbulb and sit in the darkness and cry
A2:two, one to screw it in, the other too write a poem/lyrics about it
