[Durham Fox]

:icon_bigg You might be right.

Had enough of this country though, trust me in 3 years time this country will be on it's knees.

My mate had his motor broken in to yesterday, in the car park of greater Manchester Police! He actually arrived at his car as the thief was piling up the contents of his car (radio, sat nav etc) he smashed his fist against the window and the thief nearly jumped through the roof, smashing his head on the roof, he went mad and started having a go at my mate for startling him!!!

Anyway my mate goes back in to Greater Manchester Police to tell them about the crime, including being threatened with a knife. They tell him they cant help him and he has to call a phone number, wtf!!!! Anyway the helpful police officer on the phoneline told him he was stupid to park in their carpark as crime is rife there and all the Police employees ride bikes to work as they cant control the car crime!!

I know what you mean, a day doesn't go by without hearing a story that makes me want to up and leave. Problem is people in other parts of the world are saying the same about where they live.

But hey it's "Multi Faith Light Celebration" coming up soon (Christmas to you and me) Some new socks, Hi Karate and a box of toffee under the "Multi Faith Giving Tree" will cheer you up.

Although you may not get them this year, I believe the RSPCA want Santa and his newly named "vertically challenged helpers" to use an eco friendly sleigh and not reindeer, as it is seen to promote cruelty to animals.

I was fuming when I heard about that town down south (I think) who wanted to re-name crimbo - no-one complains about the other faiths celebrating diwali (sp) and the like but we have to change in case we offend them!! Bonkers I tell you...

So true...A few years ago me and a few mates were watching TV round mine, sound was a little bit higher than normal but not over the top, anyway someone called the police and along came a police van; opened the door and we were ordered out of the house, on the way out I told one of the coppers not to close the door as we didn't have keys on us, so what does he do, yep pulls the door shut. So an hour later, two police vans and a police car in the street, a copper is messing about with a coat hanger through the letterbox to try and get the keys to let us in. Twats.

 

[Joe_Fox]

recieved and all in good order duzz

Out of interest what was the consignment?

Also, Lazzer, did you see Angus on the Music Hall of Fame last night? Classic stuff.

 

[Motown Fox]

3 of my kids are going to be in the panto Snow White and the Seven Drarfs at Rotherham Civic starting 5th December BUT apparently the show producers were being challenged that for "pc" reasons the title should be changed to Snow White and the Seven Vertically Challenged Guardians of the Forest. So you may see this newly named panto at a theatre near you in the future.This country is going too far down this pc line so that we do not upset anyone of another faith etc.

 

[Yorkshire Vixen]

for "pc" reasons the title should be changed to Snow White and the Seven Vertically Challenged Guardians of the Forest. .

:icon_lol: :icon_lol: so why havent they changed the 'white' part

From another forum.

About 100 FOXES attended the open meeting last night called by Tim Davies to discuss various issues affecting the atmosphere at the Way this season.

Credit is due to the club for ensuring that representatives of various bodies were present, including the stewards, the police, the Safety Advisory Group and the Football Licensing Authority.

The meeting lasted over two hours, with the bulk of the time predictably being spent on the quality of stewarding. Several of the speakers passed comment on the disparity between the treatment of home and away supporters. The enthusiastic reception these speakers received left the powers that be in no doubt that this is a sizeable bone of contention among many FOXES. The quality of the training which stewards have to undergo (especially the orange jacket brigade, who came in for quite a bit of stick) was also raised.

A Manchester City supporter (who'd travelled all the way from Manchester to be there) raised the issue of discrepancy between safety regulations at football matches and those applicable to rock concerts (with particular reference to the summer's Oasis concerts at the City of Manchester Stadium). The reply given was that this was a matter for the licensing authority, but the point was made that football supporters in the post-Hillsborugh climate are being disadvantaged, and the mood of those present (which admittedly is only a tiny proportion of all FOXES) was that this is not acceptable.

Calls were made for "common sense" to be applied to those standing up at matches, but the response was that the club's hands were tied by ground regulations (which were dictated by government legislation).

A brief attempt was made by Henry (of Post Horn Gallop infamy) to hijack the meeting in order to ensure his potential reintroduction, but although he was treated sympathetically by those present (both club representatives and fans) he was left in no doubt that decisions taken on this issue would NOT be changed.

The matter of the potential switch of Kop and Family Enclosure was raised, but as far as I could gather, no consensus was reached.

I suggested that the club should explore the possibility of unreserved seating for the Kop (as existed at Filbert Street for several seasons until Barrie Pierpoint abolished it), an idea which was warmly received by many at the meeting, but club secretary Andrew Neville replied that this would involve having to cut the capacity of that area by 10%. However, this change was not applied when the policy was in place at Filbert Street and I am not convinced that it would necessarily be applicable now. But unless the club is advised that there is a groundswell of opinion in favour of this move, this question will be academic anyway.

One season-ticket holder expressed disquiet about the level of discounts available at various games, but others (including myself) thanked the club for the policy introduced. As a season-ticket holder myself (in F1) I made the point that I would have preferred to have seen the ground filled with season-ticket holders, but I could understand the reasons why this hadn't been possible, and therefore appreciated the efforts made to attract more to the Way on matchdays.

The meeting ended with Tim Davies and Peter Jones thanking those who had taken the trouble to attend.

If there are any matters I have omitted from the above account, I'm sure Lisa will have spotted them.

We look forward to the club publishing its account of events as requested!

There was until Henry did the post horn gallop... then they all legged it.

Yes Lazzer did you count each and everyone as they came into the Room....

:icon_lol: :icon_lol: so why havent they changed the 'white' part

Yeah good point.... I mean if your not allowed to say "black board" you shouldn't be able to say snow white!!!!! Disgrace, i'm offended.

I think we should ban the words black and white from the english language. Replacing them with Pantone 654 for black and Pantone 101 for white.

"Snow Pantone 101 and the vertically challenged forest guardians" has such a better ring to it.
