People that call the Notting hill carnival just “carnival” like it’s the only one

One of the organisers was on telly yesterday commenting on the amount of crime at NHC, saying that less than 300 were arrested last year and that more people get arrested at football matches, so its not a problem.
What games does he go to?

Millwall.

"cultural appropriation"

This is my biggest gear grinder at the moment.

There's a video of a young woman verbally attacking a young lad Corey Goldstein for his dreadlocks.

Dreadlocks somehow fit her view of cultural appropriation.

Though they have been worn by the black community throughout history, they were regular features of nations worldwide since the dawn of man. Celts had them, Nordic Vikings were known to have had them. Before these I can almost guarantee cave men had them as they could not brush or wash their hair.

Cultural Appropriation is first and foremost a sign of respect. That's it.

White people with dreadlocks deserve all the abuse they get.

Why would you want them? they're dirty.

I'd have them given the choice. It save me a fortune in holiday hats.

Not necessarily mate. Early this year, I spent time on holiday with someone who bought 2 holiday hats AND got her hair braided. And bought 2 headscarves as well, and a baseball cap (and a lamp, a weird ornament, some fridge magnets, 2 moody handbags and a new suitcase, but that's not really relevant to this discussion).

All I'm saying is, just because you do one ridiculous thing to your head, that doesn't preclude you from putting other stupid things on it during the course of the same holiday.

Just one of those made up figures that get trotted out, unchallenged.

If there was a fixture that ended in that many arrests and physical injuries, it'd be made to be played behind closed doors every season in a heartbeat imo

Sorry if I annoy you, but I sometimes get my shopping in a small trolley, as at gone 70, I find carrying heavy objects like 4 bottles of milk (4 pints each), very heavy to carry along with other things. I do not get much, probably about £30 worth of food, so when paying, if the queues are long then I go to a self-service checkout for quickness. I can normally check my items out as quick as people with baskets, but if I annoy you so much, I will join the long queues in future....NOT

Are you bathing in the milk or do you run an independent yoghurt factory from your spare room ?

Couple of pints, 3 in a milky week!

Yet another cinema one.

Took the kids to the bluewater one yesterday and when the film finished and the lights went up the first thing I say to them as always is "have you got all your rubbish?" . One look at the rest of the cinema and I must be on my own on giving a shit about picking it up and taking it to the bin in the foyer. I even heard one fella tell his kid who picked up his used drink cup "leave that here" and took it off him.

The place looked like a bomb had hit it.

You carry on Ross, you've sussed the exception to the rule already. Wisdom with your age and all that, though I had you in your 30s for some reason!

because 90%ish of people have their lights set on auto so they come on when light levels are low. then there's the 10% of people who still control their lights manually driving around with them off when they should really be on

At 7:30am in the Summer?

If you need your lights on this early in the year then you need to book an appointment with the opticians, fair enough if its raining etc. yet not when its just a bit cloudy

Having headlights on all the time isn't something to get upset about. Fog lights when it isn't foggy yes, full beam yes. My van the headlights are always on as a supposed safety feature, I think it's meant to be a sensor but that must play it safe and has them on all the time and my car has the same so if I go through a tunnel in the middle of the day they come on.

Especially when you're on the vinegar strokes and you're watching some bird's knockers bouncing up and down and then all of a sudden the screen freezes on a full screen shot of the bloke's gurning face but you're too far gone for an emergency stop , and the next thing you know you're sitting there with a sticky arm and you know that you've effectively just slept with a male porn star.

We've all been there, we all bare those scars. Have a shower, order a pizza, watch some old episodes of Baywatch, you'll be fine.
