I thought the discussion had been extended into the realm of machine based advantage v. raw unaided human skill. Neil quoted the example of a prize winning jockey. An Olympic oarsman was mentiined. I thought I'd rake up my pet hatred of professional golfers in that category.
I suppose that exonerates the sportily dressed little fashion plates at The Masters with their dainty little contrasting glove fingers fluttering from their arse pockets of their tight little designer trousers. Nothing but a five iron between them and greatness. Fucking precious cunts.
I forgot the "in" the first wave of racist white kids. Let's face it we all had those unacceptable attitudes and jargon in those days. I dare say oue parents had only just digested the appearence of Greek Cypriots and the first Indians in the country.
So fucking prescient. I always thought that song (which actually charted) was a bit "off", poor taste, whatever... How it got through the censors I don't know
Hope he bumps into you with a plentiful supply of broken bottles at hand. Good luck mate. Let me know which A&E your in so I can visit and have a good larrf.
You sound (not) like somebody who was around when Des started his career. Here's one you will prob remember
Mine's a blue toothbrush/ Your's a pink toothbrush
Look that up in your vintage Hallmark LP collection.
I'm not quite sure where your complaint is in this garbled rant.
A. Blanket NHS discounts which you say are wrong because not everybody who works in the NHS is deserving of a discount in your opinion.
B. Those offering NHS discounts are proclaiming their virtuous behaviour and thereby harvesting good PR for their business.
Clearly, (A) apart from being totally impractical to discriminate within employment categories in the NHS seems to project a meanness of spirit and generosity that says a lot about your own selfish approach to this situation.
(B) has more merit if it was anything other than a trivial moaning worthy of Victor Meldrew than the balanced outlook on life that normally comes from experience.
