See again, you have an opportunity to have a simple conversation, you begin alright, and then feel the need to call me a **** despite me not being antagonising in any way shape or form. How about justifying your comments about education and in particular the 'poncy, ****ty, essay' type subject. How about justifying this ridiculous North/South divide you seem desperate to implement. How about justifying your latest figure of 95% '****s' in our ranks which you conjured up to so graciously bestow an allowance of generalistion upon yourself? I await your redirection (and more likely, gross stereotyping...)
The ****ty degrees is my point of view, I've seen what most courses involve that I would call ****ty and they are ****ty. I can't be bothered with this North/South bullshit, that was Loiner that brought it up. 95% is probably accurate Now replace the '****s' with 'Geordies' so it doesn't offend you and answer my question
I'm going to allow myself the genralisation that anyone south of Watford gap are all cockney ****s and eat jellied eels!!!!!!! Toby you've made a stupid rash sweeping statement based on either what you've read in the press seen on the TV (Geordie shores, and no we aren't all like that) or a couple of people you've seen on a football forum. Why don't you try bringing your sorry arse up to Newcastle and see what it's really like before casting a half arsed judgement. I'm not from Newcastle but my wife is a Geordie and I've lived all over the UK, and hand on heart there is NOWHERE else in the country I'd rather live and it pisses me off that people like you make dumb ass genralisations about a place you no nothing about.
Right now before you start all chipping in again I could go back through this thread and find the lot of you making generalisations, everyone ****ing does it all the time so stop bringing that up as if it's insightful.
Considering the thread is based on genralisation and a sterotypical perception of all Geordies (or at least 95%)
I refuse to watch it, I've seen the adverts for it and can see how bad it is. The fact they have found the biggest bunch of idiots from Newcastle,Sunderland and Middlesborough to make this programe and to then title it Geordie Shores is an insult in it's self. What makes it worse is people actually think that's what everyone is like up here
Well there's a issue with that statement, opinion doesn't beget fact. Yes, you're entitled to an opinion or a point of view, but 'i say it is so it is' doesn't work in the real world. When you say ****ty what exactly do you mean? That they're offered at all of the leading Universities? That they can lead to a huge variety jobs ranging from Politics to Education? That on average they require higher entrance marks than many of the newer technology based degrees? Or that they (wrongly in my opinion) carry far more academic weight than their modern technology based counterparts? I doubt very much that you've 'seen' what my English course involved but please, explain to me what aspects of the degree I have just completed were ****ty? You say Loiner brought it up and yet you felt that gave you a justifiable reason to refer to it? Hitler may have begun the holocaust but that doesn't excuse those in the uniforms who committed murder! And 95% is accurate based upon the graphic? That's the only additional information you've provided...Again, I'll ask you for a justifiable reason and await a decent answer?
What that you've genralised that most people from Newcastle are ****s, next you'll say you've based your assumtions on something you read on Wikipedia!!!!!!! It's your opinion, but an unjust one at that. I'll let you live on in your blinkered world, cause I'm obviously knocking on wood here.
Extreme yeah, intentionally so but didn't mean to cause offence. McCarthyism instead maybe...Just 'cause someone else begins something, doesn't mean its fine for everyone to continue it.
About half my friends at Uni were English students, and I often had to sit in the pub and listen to them go on about the books they're reading. Reading books and writing essays about them isn't hard, even at Uni level. Engineering, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science,... are all subjects I'd personally consider not ****ty. Now what you fail to grasp is that I was using a descriptive adjective to present my opinion of said degrees, you maybe disagree with that, but I can't give you 'facts' as it is my opinion. I never mentioned anything at any point about North/South that I can remember, please show me if I did. As I said but you happily read through the lines, Loiner started going on about it. Now the 95%. If I went and looked at the posts of 100 of your Geordie lot, selected randomly, I reckon only 5 would posters would not be talking about Gervinho or saying 'rep', but then again it is my estimation, please do the maths for me I can't be bothered to trawl through all the ****e on your pages. If you bothered reading through this thread I was trying to answer all posts but ****stains like Ben Arfa kept on chirping up with feeble insults so I got pissed off
How? I've explained myself over and over again and I can't be bothered anymore. It's Monday morning, I've got a stinking hangover and the website I'm trying to make is fighting back. I'm not in the mood to be funny and I'm certainly not feeling sharp.
