Enhanced Britishness

Yes, but will it work without that dim wattage dalek running interference?
Red or brown sauce?

Neither. Butter and a crusty roll.

I'm not sure you've understood the rules. No-one's interested in mining your prejudices.

Sorry sir.

Several posters on here don't want a civilised debate, they are only interested in prosecuting their poxy long running feuds.

Irony is dead.

I suspect someone is finding politics a lot less fun without the report button.

Look on the bright side, if I get bored with it you can have your (ever smaller) echo chamber back and take it in turns to post the same stuff and pat each other on the back for it.

Irony is dead.

It is, given you've made several snippy posts on here which have nothing to do with the topic.

Or you could defend your position well like you used to.

My position is defended early in the thread, but that's been buried under all the snippy insults.

Which, of course, is what caused thread closures in the old place.

You are pretty bad for for that but I don't think it was just you getting the threads closed.

Can you really not grasp the difference between offering a choice and calling for something to be 'ditched', or in the case of the hymn, calling for the lyrics to be 'rewritten'?

We'll never accuse you of having a sense of humour.

It's you who is, presumably wilfully, not grasping the issue.

How will people make a choice except by someone writing an alternative that can be offered alongside the original for them to choose between?

And how does the original get ditched other than by people choosing not to sing it any more, encouraged by the existence of an alternative they prefer?

And if people don't like the alternative and stick with the original, well, it doesn't get ditched, and some of us are disappointed, but we live with it, that's democracy.

And no censorship is involved whatsoever, except in the minds of people looking to promote discord rather than find common ground.

Of course I can but it doesn't get me to censorship.

What's with all this 'modern ' shyte?

You're in your 70's if I remember correctly, at what age did you think thing's need changing, banning, etc I wonder?

Were you comfortable with programme's in the 70' s and laughed at them along with everyone else or did you turn them off in disgust?

Things always need looking at to see if they need changing. Especially songs harking back to the days when we rooled the wurld. Even old blokes like me can see that the world changes, sometimes even for the better.

I enjoyed comedy programmes in the 70s, except those with Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson, who were always racist tossers appealing to a very base audience. Dave Allen was always brilliant and I still enjoy some shows, especially Dad's Army.

You have to admit there are a few 'tag teams ' around here, if that's nasty in your book you are a particularly sensitive soul. In my unimportant opinion of course.

Can I add "tag team" to the meaningless phrases like "buddies" and "usual suspects" to describe when more than one person disagrees with you?

Or can I add you to PR's tag team?

Irony Is still a difficult concept for some.
