I refer to my beloved Honda 400/4s as Midget Gems, having stolen the term from sweet manufacturers.
I suppose MG Midgets will be the next hateful things to be thrown into a dock.

Pretty much. Someone from Marks and Sparks should have patiently explained to the complainer that midget gems aren’t people, they’re sweets.Bike Breaker wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 4:37 pmI know I'm a bit dim, but surely, if she has a valid complaint about the use of the word 'midget', it should be with regards to the usage identifying small people.MrLongbeard wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 1:27 pm What a time to be alive

Dwarfs have long hated the word midget being used to describe them though, it’s not a new thing.

I don't usually get involved in politics, but I think it's gone too far now.

It seems that you can do whatever you want now. After this and the statues, what next?
Folk will start pushing the boundaries just to see what they can get away with.
I'm all for free speech, but the tail shouldn't wag the dog.

You could use the same excuses to justify voter fraud, just need an expensive lawyer.Yorick wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 1:59 pm I don't usually get involved in politics, but I think it's gone too far now.

Next Wednesday's weekly audience might be a tad frosty.

The train operators should take a civil case against them for damages - that may concentrate their minds a little.

Boils my piss that does, fucking about on the railway is a good recipe to get yourself or somebody else killed. Not only were the idiots endangering themselves but the passengers and rail staff who had to deal with them. Letting the *unts off will only embolden them.Yorick wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 1:59 pm I don't usually get involved in politics, but I think it's gone too far now.

It's bloody cold in Canada. My cousin lives north of Toronto and its -10c day and -25c overnight. Vet says too cold to walk her little dogs.
We're trying to get her over here for a bit.
