I am hoping that soon we will have a council of such diversity that none of the members will understand what the other members are saying and hence solve the problem.<br /><br />Don thanks for reminding me put the On The Busses clip in,Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-5682301909283568612012-02-29T11:45:04.087+00:002012-02-29T11:45:04.087+00:00February 28, 2012 5:04 PM Here Here More bus photo...February 28, 2012 5:04 PM Here Here More bus photos Michael me old mate, and dont you worry about those bints buying books on feminism or those councilors changing sides. <br /><br />to quote Mr Churchill <i>It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried. </i>Sir Winston ChurchillDon Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17099505939055955603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-58351578083818870662012-02-29T11:05:38.129+00:002012-02-29T11:05:38.129+00:00See the troll has come out of hiding again at 11:4...See the troll has come out of hiding again at 11:49.

As a doorman at The Winter Gardens for example, I might have called a regular cheery female customer "love", but I wouldn't have said it to (say) Laura Sandys (lovely though she is). I felt slightly put out in a supermarket recently when a young male cashier (about 30 years my junior & who I'd never met before) referred to me as "mate"; "Sir" would've been far more appropriate in the circumstances I think, though having said that I certainly didn't feel the need to repramand or report the guy...<br /><br />I do hate all this political correctness though. The other day I somehow ended up watched a few minutes of an old Bernard Manning routine on YouTube, & while I'm not too keen on the overtly racist gags, I still laughed more in those 5 minutes than I did when I saw a 2 hour performance by modern "comedian" Michael McIntyre. Take away all that can possibly offend & then comedy is almost non-existent. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm off to watch an old video of The Dick Emery Show now.Peter Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283534498743254609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-85071964803649084422012-02-28T17:04:59.099+00:002012-02-28T17:04:59.099+00:00Never mind the arguments, thanks for posting the s...Never mind the arguments, thanks for posting the splendid bus photosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-48133158398129973832012-02-28T16:08:25.665+00:002012-02-28T16:08:25.665+00:00Yep is says Kirby Nigger Minstrel on the back 3.46...Yep is says Kirby Nigger Minstrel on the back 3.46 and yes I have asked John Kirby, who said as his family doesn’t come from these parts it is unlikely to be relationMichael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-3397977937698786142012-02-28T15:46:15.707+00:002012-02-28T15:46:15.707+00:00You have another example of what was once ok and n...You have another example of what was once ok and now is not in you photo stamped 301.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
