Asprilla 96 Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 AF, do you consider yourself more Mulligan than O'Hare or vice versa? 75148[/snapback] Do you have posters of or up in your little wankpit 75169[/snapback] tbh. 75178[/snapback] Surely you could have come up with something more imaginative than A PICTURE OF THE BLOKE YOU'VE BEEN CALLING ME FOR AGES.... Doh! You're an accountant, imagination was never your strong suit eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 To be honest, the whole attitude towards you on here is 100% down to your attitude towards people up here etc. I would suggest that you sell up and leave the region but the fact the only income coming into is probably as a result of your lass's 9-5 job probably precludes that as an option until you go triple-platinum 75202[/snapback] I hadn't been here for ages and yesterday I started a thread about players wages. Go back and see who started being a cunt first. I don't doubt I wind people up here, but there's not a lot I can do about that. I happen to earn more than my wife and every penny comes from music, in fact I earn an average wage from doing what I want. That's taken a lot of effort. If and when I do move to France, I'll still come on here to wind you all up. 75206[/snapback] You suggested a wage cap on players didn't you? Well done mate, that'll work. 75209[/snapback] There already is to an extent in the sense that the pot isn't bottomless. The difference was that the fans would decide the wages rather than the gullible chairmen. Hardly rocket science. 75211[/snapback] It wouldn't work, in my opinion like.

Asprilla 96 Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 I agree the N.E. doesnt have the same history of black and asian immigration as other parts of the country, but then I've been to Penzance a few times an all and it never struck me as downtown Kingston either. 75204[/snapback] I didn't say it was. They just don't have a heart attack if you have a different accent. 75210[/snapback] Cornwall is very poor in general with high unemployment and there is loads of animosity towards people from London in particular who have bought holiday/weekend homes and have priced locals out of the market. 75213[/snapback] Er...I lived there, thanks for telling me all about the place! It's nowhere near as bad as up here. Seriously, I've lived here for 3 years and Cornwall for 24. I do know what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 So given that, and the fact that there is high unemployment, are you suggesting there isn't animosity towards Londoners pricing locals out of the property market? I've got relatives there incidentally, so I know there is. We don't have that problem up here so I fail to see how it can possibly be worse here.

You paint this region as being hostile to outsiders and having a racist underbelly, yet there is far more ethnic diversity up here than there is in Cornwall.

Renton 17723 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Funny thing is, I know loads of Southerners who love it up here and have never had a problem. I'm talking double figures. Which leads me to believe AF is either making it up, or he is disliked because he is a patronising cunt, which seems likely considering his posts here. Either way, I'd love to see him cope in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereabouts do you actually live AF? If it's Ashington or somewhere like that you may have a point, otherwise you are basically talking shit. Again.

adios 717 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 AF, has it occured to you that things seem better in Cornwall because it's home to you, whereas the xenophobia seems worse in Newcastle because you are the outsider? Having been to both places only as a tourist I couldn't spot much difference, your lot did try to stuff me in a fuck off straw giant and set fire to me but the scraps going on in the corporate lounge of the Stadium of Shite (not technically Newcastle, but let's face it you're all the same up there) the last time they went down were fantastic, never seen anything like it, so that evens it up. Shouldn't claim credit for Lennon's work btw, Yoko will have you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asprilla 96 Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 We've been through this before.... You seem hell bent on portraying Newcastle as the world's friendliest place but your attitude towards me says more than any protestations on your part. I accept some people think I'm a cunt, I think some people are cunts and God forbid, some people think you're cunts. That's life, it just seems more prevalent here and believe me I've lived in a lot of different places. Just my anecdotal experiences you understand, but none the less true for me. I wish also you'd realise that a group of people joining in against ONE person IS bullying and it might be interesting for you all to look at that fact.
