UK/R.O.I GAF - Thread of geopolitical confusion
- Thread starter Meadows
- Start date
- Status
On the one hand, I like Meadows and have argued with Kavanagh before. On the other hand, Kavanagh is right. Hm.
Argued is a tad strong. Merely a debate over the merits of the police that made this thread go far too serious for half a page :lol
We don't have arguments in UK-GAF, we have deferred agreements.

Meadows, are you and Chinner's best friend both planning to work in Manchester for the foreseeable future? Would a move to London ever be on the cards?
yes and no
I'd rather move abroad than London. Can't stand the place.
and I posted in here because I don't want to shit up the OT thread any more, but thought that I would like to point out how magnificently self-loving it is to post "don't hate the game, hate the player"
I'd like to point out that my tongue was placed firmly in my cheek when I said that. What self respecting British person would ever say that with a straight face?
You need to relax, I didn't know you had a history of extreme London hatred otherwise I would never have stirred the pot. Did you try and move here one time but found you'd never be able to afford it and/or cut it?

He's definitely an alt, but I haven't been able to work out who - is that a phrase J Tourettes used to use a lot?

How long is J Tourettes ban for?
yeah, he always said "not everyone can cut it around here", and his sudden, large amount of posting in UK-GAF, appearing familiar with posters here, is curious.
he got permabanned a couple of months back for using racist language against Travellers.
blahblah...blah

It's that basically, right from the very beginning. Oh, the intrigue!
EDIT: I really dislike the term "Travellers", but I'm leaving that can of worms firmly closed.
I'm 100% sure this is J
blahblah...blah
Member
Let's refer to this guy as J from now on!
Wait, he got a perma-ban for saying 'Pikey'?!
Fucks sake, that's crazy. It's not even commonly accepted as an ethnic slur, it's a class-based insult.
I swear, we need to hold a swearing masterclass 'round here.
No, let's not. J was a good poster and Kavanagh is a good poster. Besides, as I'm sure K will firmly insist, they're not the same person.
(from the Olympic thread, just posted)
yeah Kavanagh, remember the wc thread?
the one that was 2 years before you joined as a member?

Euros, WC whatever. It's all football.

Haha, in his defence he could have lurked for two years, but he has the familiarity of someone who has been participating for ages. Who cares, I liked J Tourettes, so let's just hope it is him.

The church certainly does have the power to marry couples, or at least, some churches do. Specifically the Church of England, the Church in Wales, Quakers and Jews. All others fall under government authorisation of places and ministers, but these four do not.
He got banned for about three months. Source, J himself.
@phisheep
Must have got some facts mixed up then. Thanks for the correction.
ah, thought racist language was a perma
and if I remember his post did come across as being quite prejudiced. We may have views but we have to be measured in what we say and his post crossed the line.
SmokyDave said:
the way in which he used it was calling them "pikeys" instead of "travellers" or "gypsies" so it definitely wasn't class-based

Wow, I go in to a meeting for an hour and I miss all the fun!
I don't think J Tourettes was perma banned, I'm sure at the last meet up he said he didn't have long left on the ban. And I absolutely do not think he is Kavanagh at all, they are way too different. I mean J Tourettes would never wind Meadows up like that.

anyway, I will withdraw my accusation as I don't hugely dislike J and if it is him then I want him to be able to post.
plus Kavanagh handily represents the aspects of London that I hate the most in one little package which kind of consolidates my hatred in a nice, easy to manage package.

Yes, but when using it directly in relation to travellers, you don't have a lot of room to argue "class, not race! Honest!"
I appreciate the retraction. I shouldn't be winding up fellow Brits so you have my apologies.

Oh shit, did Meadows grass on him? If you're reading this J / Kavanagh, it wasn't me guv'nor, us Londoners have to stick together.
Also, loath as I am to bring this up again, how the fuck are "bitch" and "cunt" gender slurs when "dick" and "prick" aren't?! Another big shitstorm is on the horizon in the Kristen Stewart topic.
