Bloody hell... I thought it was bad over here with PC poo - but it`s worse over there...you obviously can`t say boo to a goose (or in this case a monkey) without being put in the stocks and pelted with rotten veg!

I paged back to see what Racist Bob had said - only to find that Unracist Bob had suggested that a dumb (?) animal could`ve won the last election (and obviously did!! - am I to be extradited now? )

There was no need for this post. It has already been established that common sayings to some of us do not have the same meaning to others. It is not a case of being PC, it is a case of respecting other people.

I'm sure both the party that was hurt and the party that made the innocent comment are ok about it all now, so just leave it alone.

Please don't be put off from the whole forum.

OK it may have been a mistake, but we can always use another "friendly face" So hi and welcome.

You've got a new friend, Trace! And who said it wasn't a good day for you?

Because he likes to be that way. And he wishes to fight with me.

Please don't let it affect you, there are nice people on here. Ignore the ones who aren't.

This thread was a superb example of the cultural minefield we expats walk in. However, you brought it down to the level of the Daily Wail.

We have a particular `arsehole` (Im going to be told off so goodbye) like that on our forum too - I`m sure you know of him but I can`t name him.. he thinks we don`t love him but we do really. But like Fatbrit - he must be Welsh.. has a chip on his shoulder

I think you'll make a fine friend for Trace. Give us your opinion on the US election, then -- as that's why you arrived to say hello. Unless you want to talk about parkin or hotpot, that is.

True, Tracy, true.
Fatbrit, I daren`t give my opinion on the election - I made a comment and was almost stoned to death so to give my opinion would be suicidal - I know that I`m female but I`m not COMPLETELY stupid (only mildly)
I`m not too good on Parkin but I do make a good Hotpot - and most women prefer it to sex - it beats ironing anyway.
It`s past 1am here and my bed-time. Nice chatting.... even to Fatbrit. I know he is a pussycat really xx
