hypochondriac

I have a small pc I got off ebay for about 70 quid which was amazing value and plays everything I throw at it. Also plays all of my steam games flawlessly with an old 360 controller. I use that with kodi and the nbc app to watch the footie. Have combined this with two chromecasts, one for my bedroom and one for the kitchen and it works brilliantly. Combine it with showbox on my android or utorrent and I can watch anything I like (and it allows me to stream Spotify through my soundbar so I can extend my sonos). Have my tabletop arcade that I've put on here as well before that plays pretty much every game known to man so it keeps me occupied!

Thankfully I won't have to meet you so you will just have to weirdly assess my personality based on a few words on a board.

It had its moments. Saintsfun was more amusing though. I think b-anter was maybe essruu and colbury?

Do you remember the precursor to b-anter, lungsforever? Lou have you checked out tubgirl?

It means you aren't really anything special but some people act like you are due to the fact that you purport to be female. Whether you find that insulting I suppose is dependent upon how high an opinion you have of yourself.

The hey Steve mobile thread was my favourite ever banter thread. Gone downhill since then save for Bearsy and his fabulous 50 shades thread.

He means that lots of posters have flocked to you because you claim to be a woman. Has happened a few times on here tbf.

I posted in banter central before you had received your first modem.

That would be mikey not me. I wouldn't say angry, more deluded.

Just walked past someone outside Ripleys believe it or not museum in London, sat in a small car with a sign saying "I am sitting here for ten hours for Comic Relief." sitting down for ten hours isn't exactly a major hardship.

No ugly 6 year old though right?

Quite possible and I would say a version of that is probably true.

Bit harsh. He clearly has a problem

Good spot. If she decides to GHTOFTL on pageant day then I'll vote for her.

I listened to a radio programme about it one time as well I think on five live. Apparently about 70 percent of homosexuals have said they have been a victim of domestic violence in some form but within their culture it's never reported. Of course all domestic violence is bad and should be tackled, all I'm saying is I can see why the vast majority of adverts and helplines about it are female- simply because they are the group most at risk.

Nice to see I'm not the only one who has a more positive view of Britain than the likes of krg. Apparently I'm not discussing it in good faith though so he has run away.

Whilst I agree with you, what they need to do is deal with it proportionally and my guess (based on no research admittedly) is that male perpetrators of domestic abuse are much higher and thus more is done about it. I was told by a police officer friend that actually the highest proportion of domestic violence is dished out by male homosexuals against their partners yet you rarely hear about that.

Outrageous. Where is lou and krg to tell us how terrible society is?

very very well said Mikey.

Right so you do change your behaviour for the benefit of others. How is a band in a public space moderating their language not the same thing?

Is there any occasion you would consider swearing unacceptable?

Where do you draw the line? Is sexually explicit language OK? Descriptions of violence?

No my argument is "things have improved dramatically and are currently better than at any other point in human history. Sexism and racist still exist in society but human nature means that they will never be totally eradicated. People from other European countries cite the tolerance they find here as the primary reason for moving here. We should be thankful for the work that has been achieved in this area and that the cast majority of UK citizens are now tolerant and accepting of others. We can also recognise that we can always do better and that despite the fantastic progress that has been made there is always a need to keep learning and improving things as a society." So my message is actually a nice positive one. We have done brilliantly in eradicating most of the overt and most offensive forms of racism and Sexism such as denying women the vote, rights for black people etc. We are the most tolerant and accepting society that has ever lived in the UK and if we continue along our current path with education and legislation, we should continue to see racists and Sexists becoming even more of a minority in the future. I have faith that we will continue to do this because of all the hugely positive changes we have seen in just the last twenty years. There is no reason to think imo that we will see any dramatic reversals in this area. Certainly I have never seen any evidence.

I considered the UK you described to be hellish and not a UK that I recognise in any way. These people who have stated that racism is getting worse, for how long do they reckon it has been getting worse? At what point was it agreed by all that it was getting better and when in your opinion did it change again? Does this apply to homophobia and Sexism too or are they separate cases? Have we seen a rise of racism in the media? How is this characterised? Genuinely interested in your responses.

Plenty of others have expressed the complete opposite. I mean we're hardly in the realms of civil rights from the 60s or love thy neighbour are we?
