I agree with this apart from the bit about Brum. I like all regional accents and think they should be celebrated. I despise the attempts to censor them and turn us all into boring southern ****s.
PLT has a MASSIVE chip on his shoulder regarding racism for some reason. It's that sort of attitude that make people think he's at least 50.
========= Of course a number who aren't that bothered by the name change could have being booing the stewards for there stupid actions...and some even trying to block the way off to stop the stewards .. though the name change might not be such a big deal to them
The operative word was 'love', PLT. I can cope with Brum/Black Country/Bristol/Nottingham, but I don't like the southern/London/posh ones. I agree with you about the 'smoothing out' of regional accents. TV has a lot to do with influencing accents.
How do you define race? How is it different to the Indian example? People can say scousers shouldn't be on telly but if I said that about any group of people from outside England I would be called racist. How is that fair? TWF - my issue with perceived racism is that it gets everywhere an affects everything and there's massive double standards. You can say what you like about certain people but with others it's a hate crime. This scouse example is a perfect one.
So some idiot starts a thread entitled " Pitch Invasion? " and stands back and watches people make fools of themselves Probably best not to get too excited about " my mate told me ....." type threads
Mrs BMB I joined Reckitts in mid-61 after post-grad in Germany. 600 quid seems to have been the standard starting wage at the time. I stayed just over a year before emigrating.
So someone starts this thread with a little rumour he has heard (or made up) and all of a sudden the CTWD lot are organising a pitch invasion, everyone is plotting etc etc. IF anyone runs onto the pitch I am 100% certain they will be booed by the rest of the supporters and I don't imagine any of the "No to Hull Tigers" campaign would be happy about it either, though no doubt the message board will be full of people condemning people like me that don't want a name change, we will all be tarred with the same brush.
To clarify... I haven't made this up. A steward who is working the game is a friend of mine and has been told by their "higher ups" that there may be a pitch invasion in the 19th minute. Yes it's a rumour. It may be a worst case scenario, preparing for the worst kind of thing. They may have got it wrong. I've merely stated what was said between the staff at the game. But I haven't made this up. Don't question my integrity. You'll find I'm often correct and true with news I have stated in the past such as televised games before they are announced as one key example.
Juleskaren wasn't questioning your post, see my earlier reply about what may have caused the stewards' concern.
If a sizeable group of people run on the pitch, I'm going on. Only to get a touch of Stevie G, I missed out last time. Hopefully get get a good close look at Suarez's teeth as well. Then I'll go back to my seat.
You should try looking up that fat bird who tried to get near Dirk Kuyt in the first Prem Season. She got very close to him while he sat on the bench.
Stevie G still takes the corners doesnt he? Thats when I'm making my move. I wont be able to wait until 19:04.
