Power cuts, internet outages, mild inconvenience to your daily lives - how did you cope? Tell us your tales of pointless panic buying and hiding under the stairs.
thanks, ringofyre

only Shambo has a nasty habit of deleting then reposting anything I reply to to get rid of me.
Some people think it makes him look like a bit of a cunt, me - I just like to do the screenies. Saving them up to give to AB one day.

I was taking the piss - I have no idea what this is all about. Still, Australians are involved, so it's probably something to do with racism - maybe Alf is thier god, or something?

Fucking hell that made me laugh. Sad but funny that we are considered racists.
It's a very ironic photo, Alf embracing "wogs".
The trio of Greek blokes are infamous Melbourne comedians who penned a series of rather ordinary comedy shows, one of which was entitle "Wogs out of Work" and another called "Acropolis Now", hence the reference to Shambo's post.
They sort of brought the term "wog" into the mainstream lexicon in Australia and made it a term of parody, rather than an insult. They would overtly dress up in over the top "wog" outfits (gold chains, tight shirts) and talk with thick accents, deliberately parodying their heritage and culture. They celebrated differences out in the open, which is a very Australian trait.
And as you know, Australians love racial parody becasue we are so ill educated and descended from English convicts (Lower Lower Class or Upper Lower Class, I'm not sure which strata), and the racial subtles were completely lost on most of us, so it rated well for a few years. We all thought it was a documentary.
And, during the few years of working and living in the UK, I never, ever ever met one single racist person, not ever ever heard a racist utterance. Amazing.
Australia must truly be a unique nation ;)

I think it was Arthur Smith who said - "It's not that I don't love you, it's just that I hate you all equally."

or not looking hard enough. I've seen someone turned down for a job on the basis if their skin colour, and have a friend whose favourite joke is "what's red and yellow and looks good on a paki?". Hell, my own dad is one of those "likes Alf Garnett but completely misses the joke" types.
I really don't miss the south-east, at all. Of course, I moved to Luton, and the EDL turned up, so maybe it's me?
Thanks for the explanation, by the way, although I missed the good Doctor's post, so still have no idea what this is all about. Plus, everyone in that photo is brown (or yellow), somewhat blurring any racial subtleties.

& I think Ken may have been removing the urine a little bit.
*Correct me if I'm wrong here, Ken.*
