catgate Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Not to mention; Three blind mice and Baa Baa Black Sheep :0Brfore long you will not be able to call some places the names they are called now, they will have to be renamed because of the sex discrimination act or the Racist act or whatever they call it. Blackburn in Lancashire would have to be renamed to Colourburn, Manchester to Personchester, Ladykirk to Peerkirk or even Peoplekirk. I could sit here all night, but I'm sure you all get the general drift, oops, I should have said the Armed Forces drift shouldn't I. The same sort of thing would have to apply to food stuff as well of course, you will not be able to have Blackberry it will have to be Colourberry and so on. :DYou have just reminded me of an event of way back (late 50s). We used to get some of the older local grammar school lads coming into the labs for a work experience sort of thing, before that sort of thing became popular. The fad at the school at the time was for the crucifixion of the language by adding 1 to any syllable that was phonetically numeric. So that "going to the loo" became "going three the loo".They held long conversations in this manner and some of it was quite funny. One phrase I remember was "Any two five eleveniss?"

catgate Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 That's it. But to do it as they did, in normal conversation, was a bit confusing and it was a relief when they went back to their studies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Muslims criticised Becta's response and insisted that a computer program based on the Three Little Pigs should be welcomed in state schools.Tahir Alam, the head of education at the Muslim Council of Britain, said: "We are not offended by that at all."Yesterday, the quango stood by the verdict, which was made by 70 independent judges, mainly teachers.Typical PC crew, all sopping wet middle class white liberals with a crushing White man's burden complex, yet who are too bloody mindedly arrogant to actually speak to Muslims to find out if their really offended. Simply make an ill informed guess based on their own prejudice and misconceptions and bulldoze it into the state guidelines regardless, for they are the Politically CORRECT ! and dissent is clearly racism and must be crushed under their Monolo Gucci jackboots. I wouldn't be surprised if they denounce Tahir Alam and the Muslim Council of Britain ( not the most open minded organisation in the UK ) as Islamophobic for daring to disagree with their witless blathering.In the past, Baa Baa Black Sheep has become Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep to satisfy race relations, the Seven Dwarfs have been axed from Snow White to avoid offending the vertically challenged and the ending of Humpty Dumpty has been censored for fear of upsetting sensitive children. That's it! clearly the yoof of today are all stabbing each other to death because they were deeply traumatised by the untimely demise of Humpty Dumpty. I give up, the loonies truly have taken over the asylum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 The mind boggles. What the hell are they going to do about black ink. Should I ask for a bottle at the shops on Saturday, or should I just say 'A bottle of ink please not the blue colour' and let the shop assistant decide.
