Why wouldn't you meet some on a dark night Plym? They are hard rugby players not muggers or rapists. I watched most of that game as well. The truth is that the USA ladies were a load of pants and played crap. They couldn't do a line out for love nor money. I've watched our ladies play a number of times now and to be fair they are very worthy of the No.1 title. They have slaughtered all in front of them by mega points. The trouble is it almost becomes not worth watching in the end because as an exciting spectacle it sort of lacks competition. Not Englands fault that they are so much better but a closer match might be better to look at. Now I certainly wouldn't want to either tackle or be tackled by any of them.
USA Womens Rugby aren't too hot at the moment...although they are ranked 5th in the world. They were World Champions in 1991 and runners up in 1994 & 1998. That England team had changed a lot of players since the last game they played recently. I wouldn't want to meet some of them on a dark night....for the same reason you wouldn't want to be tackled by any of them.
Talk of not enough being done to correct the north/south divide. NEVER any talk of doing anything to correct the south/east divide with the west country.
They have to both know where it is and in fact if it really exists and isn't a mythical place. I'm sure they think that "The West Country" is an Island off the coast of Bristol which is really a foreign place and nothing to do with England. I watched Boris on the News today being his usual embarrassment. He can't even put two words together now.
I'm surprised that with todays...BLM , Political Correctness and Woke culture movements....we are allowed to name a sale....Black Friday....it seems quite acceptable to try and reverse history in many fields in this present age....and calling a sale...Black....must be dubious surely. I'm waiting for the call to scrub WG Grace (plus statues) from our history because he was a cricketer....and also Sir Leonard Hutton also because he wasn't just a cricketer he was also from Yorkshire.
Really? If I say anymore you will scream "I'm being picked on again" and probably run off for a couple of days. I will therefore refrain and let you have as much rope as you would like.
At last our floods seem to be receding. The Freeway to Vancouver is now open, so we can get supplies in to the valley. Farms have lost hundreds of cattle, with chicken farms in the thousands. We will be glad to get off powdered milk. Running out of coffee beans too. Only two cans of Newcastle Brown left..
I'm guessing the Bears won't be too unhappy if they find the deceased cattle BC. This Country is apparently being battered tonight by a proper storm. Have to say apparently because I live in a bit of a valley and this time the wind is coming from the right direction for us. We are sheltered by a big hill on one side. Not sure it will be so kind on the way to Argyle tomorrow though.
This Black Friday Sale has been proven as a myth that it is cheaper than it has been sold in the past... and certainly Friday has nothing to do with it seeing it goes on for weeks.....people running around like Lemmings spending money and fighting over the last item on the shelf.....dragging the last telly down the aisle with someone else hanging on to the other end.
That has nothing to do with what you were on about and you know it. You were referring to a race issue not a sale hence the emphasis on the word "black". You cannot help yourself.
Okay...why is it called Black Friday....the way your blabbing on you would think I had named it that......your looking for any little thing to have a go at me.....have I run over your dog or something....just give it a rest or find another victim to have a go at for a change....it's you who can't help yourself.
You are a racist simple as that. You can bleat on about being picked on all you want but the thing is plain to see in the posts you occasionally make. Your post was about the word black and you continued it with the cricket theme because racism is the current accusation there. You deny it happens when it clearly does. If you think that's ok then that is your choice but don't post it on here and expect no come back. You said about having an Open University Degree in another post. It's a pity your education taught you nothing worthwhile it seems.
You just can't stop accusing can you....you can turn any post of mine around and make it into a racist comment....maybe you need to look at yourself in the mirror and ask why you do it.
To explain as you seem not to grasp the essential point here. You mention or emphasise the word black in the expression black friday and point out that it is a surprise it is allowed to be called that in today's climate. That is a description of a trading day and has nothing to do with BLM whatsoever. You talk about an attempt to reverse history when there is no history involvement in it so there isn't an attempt at anything here. You then go on to emphasise the race element by bringing in the cricket controversy. Nobody that I am aware of has even suggested WG Grace should be expunged from cricket history nor Len Hutton. They have absolutely nothing to do with the racist accusations being made so why do you bring them up? Simple really. To try to make a point that racism is ok if it was done years ago and the current rumpus is not historical as such it is within the last 10 to 15 years, Technically an hour ago is history but not in the sense that most normal people regard something being historical. It is recent and even if it was a long time back it still wouldn't be acceptable. You however think otherwise and this is not the first racist remarks you have made. Ergo I think you are racist because you seek to make to excuse racist behaviour. I don't need to look in a mirror because I have never held those views that you readily express. You are an old fart of a dinosaur who still thinks and lives in the dark ages sadly and you will never learn. Just don't spread your crap on here. There are many other subjects you can sound off about so give them a try in future.
You certainly talk yourself into believing all that crap your spouting.....if you want to call me racist I can't stop you...if it wasn't so serious a comment it would be quite funny....but I'm not laughing at you accustations anymore....because I think you've gone over the top and you just need to calm down a shade.
I repeat stop making the racist remarks and comments and there will be no need to be told about any of it. I'm not laughing either.
I would still like to know why it's called Black Friday....seems a little sinister to me....could it be that it was first named that by a cricketer from Yorkshire. Michael Vaughan gets accused and political correctness wearing its racist hat steam rollers along and he loses his Test Match job....no waiting for a comment from him....there are people jumping on the bandwagon and using BLM, Wokeness and Political Correctness for their own agendas.....why don't you sort them out....they're the ones who are the root of the problem. Uni students trying to get their Professors sacked and trying to get their University names changed because someone 3/4/5 hundred years ago can be linked to the slave trade.....if that's the case there's hardly anyone in the UK who isn't tarnished with the brush of racism because of their ancestory.....whatever colour their skin is.
I put in the words "meaning of the phrase Black Friday" and lo my computer gave me the story. Nothing whatsoever to do with race creed or colour. Try it you might learn something. You don't think people like you are the problem that's clear. It is all the fault of those foreign types who kick back at being called derogatory names by others for fun purposes. I mean they are only being friendly and having a laugh aren't they. You didn't talk about history in your post above. You asked about Black Friday which is a 20th Century thing. You mentioned Yorkshire Cricket which is a 21st Century thing. The bloke joined in the culture of the club and called them names and that isn't jumping on a bandwagon. You now bring up the history argument to justify yourself which is quite common for people like minded to yourself. Nobody argues that Slavery didn't happen or that people made a fortune out of it and spent some of the proceeds on things in this Country. You are right in that you cannot change history and tearing down a building doesn't change anything that happened. However, removing celebrating those people from the streets is not such a bad idea. Have you noticed the removal of statues and stuff in Countries around the World when Dictators get toppled is common practice. That's much the same thing. They still appear in the history books but just not in the middle of a roundabout in a main street. Just take a look at your last post again and if you still can't see the problem and who the problem is then I give up. However, if you start the race argument again then don't be surprised if you get picked up on it.
So it's another addition from the States...just like all this trick and treat Haloween rubbish is.....it does surprise me that the BLM/Woke/Political Correctness brigades haven't jump on it and complained......but it still is mystifying why it has to be called black....which as you know is a loaded word in the States.
