Topic: Organic Portals and Fireworks

What is it with OP's and fireworks?

In the UK, we have a law that says fireworks can only be set off within 7 days either way outside of 'Guy Faulkes' night, November 5th. Fact is, from September, shops start selling fireworks. Now I like a good organised fireworks display. I got badly burned (facially) by accidentally setting off a firework, into my own face when I was seven. (no physical scars now btw), but I still enjoy organised fireworks.

But I live in the West Midlands (UK), and from September to January EVERY DAY it is fireworks day-night. (The west midlands, btw, is similar to the Orc training grounds in 'Lord of the Rings', full of numb nut numpty OPs.).

It is like living in Beirut for 4 months of the year. We rarely get to take doggie me for a walk, because she is sat in the corner, frightened shitless, with all the noise. Not just my dog, but pets and animals everywhere, these OPs do not give a shit. Apart from 5th November, it is rarely nice to watch, it is just BANG-BOOOM-BOOOOOOM-Bang-BOOOOOOOOOOOOM. (repeat incessentally).

If I could be truly everywhere, I would be totally knackered, just spending 4-00 pm to 2-00 am slapping these stupid morons, across the head, every day. 'Love thy neighbour'? Its  hard, at times like this.

Does this happen where you live?. Or am I just living in hell.?

It's not about me, I can deal with it. It's the little ones.

Yes i live in the West Midlands too, i had to laugh at the orc training camps gag, reminds me of Brierley Hill ?
It major Chav country and i feel ties in with my thread about the rise of STDs in the UK and the UK having one of the highest teenage pregnancy rate in the world.

For those that dont live in the UK here is a web definition of a Chav.

"Chav" The origins of the word 'chav' are somewhat unknown. However, a stereotypical chav will be somewhat lacking in intelligence, culture and possess an in-bred nature of stupidity and a totally blinkered attitude.

Sometimes described as 'burberry' wearing individuals, the typical chav can often be seen indulging in anti-social behaviour in many environments, whilst casually dressed in tracksuit and (cheap gold jewellery) 'bling', coupled with an assortment of head gear (most often a cap). 'Chavs' are known for their regular participation within situations closely connected with many different types of anti-social behaviour. The chav can often resemble the Neighbour From Hell (NFH).

Some claim the word 'chav' is an acronym for Council Housed And Vulgar

Makes you wonder if the UK is developing into a Dimorphic race, the chavs and chav nots smile

Its been nothing but fireworks for the past two weeks now and its getting tiresome.

Its not like we are fractions of the whole but rather versions of the whole.

Sorry could not resist.
The earthquake was real though.

A very, very serious appeal... please read and contribute

    At 00:54 on Monday 23 September an earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale hit Dudley,UK causing untold disruption and distress. Many were woken well before their giro arrived, several priceless collections of mementos from the Blackpool and the Spanish costas were damaged, three areas of historic and scientifically significant litter were disturbed and thousands are confusedand bewildered, trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting has happened in Dudley.

    One resident, Donna-Marie Dutton, a 17 year old mother-of-three said, "It was such a shock, little Britney came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept through it. I was still shaking when I was watching Trisha the next morning."

    According to police reports and CCTV footage, looting carried on as normal. The British Red Cross have so far managed to ship 4000 crates of Sunny Delight to the area to help the stricken masses. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings including benefit books and jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos.

    HOW YOU CAN HELP

        * £2 buys chips, pork scratchings and blue pop for a family of four.
        * £10 can take a family to Stourport for the day, where children can play on an unspoiled canal bank among the national collection of stinging nettles.
        * 22p buys a biro for filling in a spurious compensation claim.

    PLEASE ACT NOW, LITTLE KEANU PIERRE and BRITNEY PHOENIX NEED US ALL.

Further information...

    A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE MEASURING 4.8 ON THE RICHTER SCALE, HIT IN THE EARLY HOURS OF MONDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER 2002 EPICENTERED ON DUDLEY, WEST MIDLANDS

    Victims can be seen wandering aimlessly muttering : "Yo Orwight?", "Boing Boing" and "Bostin".

    The Earthquake decimated the area, causing approximately £30 worth of damage. This appeal is to raise clothing and food parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in it.

    Clothing is most sought after. Items required include: -

        * Flat caps
        * Donkey Jackets
        * Heavy Twill Trousers (Male)
        * Shell Suits (Female)
        * Boots.

    Food parcels may be harder to put together but necessary all the same.

    Required foodstuffs include: -

        * Faggots
        * Grey Peas
        * Pork Scratchings
        * Tripe and Onions
        * "Pigs Blood Pud"
        * Banks's Bitter or Mild

    Please do not send tents for shelter, as the sight of "posh" housing is unfair on the population of neighbouring areas of Gornal, Oldbury and Sedgley.

Its not like we are fractions of the whole but rather versions of the whole.

Re: Organic Portals and Fireworks

Okay, I just couldn't even get past this:


.....One resident, Donna-Marie Dutton, a 17 year old mother-of-three said....

Is that a typo???  17 year old mother of THREE?!?!  17?   Mom?  Three???

I think the UK's got worse problems then fireworks!!!  haha

Edit:

I realized when I got to this part:

"buys chips, pork scratchings and blue pop for a family of four..."

...that this article was "taking the piss" as you all Brits would say.  wink   The more I read, I started laughing out loud.  Pork scratchings.  Sounds like they might be making fun of chavs or something?

Re: Organic Portals and Fireworks

So basically chav = Ali G?

In the US, we have a similar problem with the "bro"


A good definition of a "Bro" from Urban Dictionary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bro    

"Obnoxious partying males who are often seen at college parties. When they aren’t making an ass of themselves they usually just stand around holding a red plastic cup waiting for something exciting to happen so they can scream something that demonstrates how much they enjoy partying. Nearly everyone in a fraternity is a bro but there are also many bros who are not in a fraternity. They often wear a rugby shirt and a baseball cap. It is not uncommon for them to have spiked hair with frosted tips."

Once you know you can never go back

Re: Organic Portals and Fireworks

Aynuk says to Ayli, What's a monsoon?
Ayli says, that's a bloke who's nearly eighteen.

Ayli goes to his local hardware shop to get some stuff to clean a paintbrush.
He says to the chap behind the counter,
Av yoe got any terps,
The assistant says,
Do yoe want VHS or Beta Max.

Just Imagine if the Beatles had come from Gornal
They would have wrote a song called,
Er luvs yoe Ar, Ar, Ar.

What do you call a China man that lives halfway between Brierley Hill and Stourbridge ?
Answer. Yoe Min Lye.

What do you call a China man with a black eye from Bilston ?
Answer. Hoo it Yoe.

Aynuk and Ayli are sitting on Bondi Beach in Australia when a big sun bronzed Aussie bloke walks past with a surfboard under his arm.

'Weers e gooin wi that plonk?' says Ayli.

'That ay a plonk' says Aynuk 'it's a surfboard.'

'What's it for'? says Ayli.

'Yoe watch' says Aynuk.

The Aussie jumps on his board and paddles himself out into the waves.

Suddenly he catches a huge wave which knocks him straight off the board and washes him up on the beach in a big heap.

'What did yoe say that plonk was called' says Ayli.

'I toed yo it ay a plonk it's a surfboard' says Aynuk

'Well it doe look very serf to me' says Ayli.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Aynuk and Ayli are flying back from their holidays in Spain when the pilot comes on the Radio to tell the passengers that one of the engines has a problem and they will have to shut it down, this will mean we will be late arriving bac in England.

Aynuk says, I ope the other bugger doe break down we'll be stuck up ere all bloody night.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
Ayli buys some flavoured condoms to try and spice up his love life a bit.

One night in bed his missus says to him "Ooh Ayli, this one tersts like cheese and onion".

"Ode up" says Ayli "I ay put one on yet."

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Aynuk and Ayli stop to look at the stars swaying, on their way home after a night out.

"It meks yer yed reel when yow think about infinity" says Aynuk. "Fer instance, what's the highest number in the universe?"

Ayli's brows furrow with the magnitude of the question.

"Er, that'd be a trillion or summat, wouldn't it?" he replies at last.

"Ah-ha!" says Aynuk triumphantly "but worrabaht a trillion and one?"

"Ar, fair play ter yer" concedes Ayli "but I wor far off, was I?"
___________________________________________________________________________________
Aynuk,Ayli and their mate Marlene were witnesses to a robbery in Sedgley, so they were asked to go up to the police station to identify the suspect. The CID Sergeant said he would show them on the computer a photograph of someone for thirty seconds, then ask each one for a description.

After showing the photo to Marlene, he blanked the screen, then asked her how she would recognise the suspect. '' That's easy,'' she replied. ''He's only got one eye.''

The Officer was stunned. ''He only has one eye because it is a profile shot! Think about it!''

He then repeated the procedure for Aynuk and again asked how he would recognise him.

''Yow con see it a mile off mate, he's only got one earole, aye he''

''What is the matter with you people?!? I've told you once it is a profile shot! You are seeing him from a side view!''

The Sergeant then finally came to our Ayli again repeating the procedure, and said, ''How would you recognise the suspect? Now think about it before you give me a stupid answer, like those pair''

After viewing the photo, Ayli thought for a minute, then said, ''The blokes wearing contact lenses.''

This took the Sergeant by surprise. He looked real hard at the picture and couldn't tell if the suspect had contact lenses or not. He checked the database and looked at the report on the suspect. Sure enough, when the photograph was taken, the suspect was wearing contact lenses!

He went back to Ayli and asked, ''How could you tell he was wearing contact lenses? Nobody else saw that!''

''Well,'' said Ayli,

"Yes" said the Sergeant in anticipation''

Well, he cor wear glasses with only one eye and one ear, con he?''

One of the pupils cannot quite grasp how to complete the sum correctly. She tells him, Look it is quite simple, all you do is move the decimal point one place to the left. After a slight pause, he starts to cry and she says, For goodness sake what is the matter with you.

He replies, Please miss I cor move it one place to the left.

She says, Why can't you.

This chav thing has me fascinated actually.  I had no idea until somebody posted about it here at NR last year that England had these hoodie and gold chain wearin' thugs running rampant in the streets.  Who knew!   England sounds like things are just getting crazy over there in a lot of parts.

Re: Organic Portals and Fireworks

I have to admit that in the past I've had some fun with fireworks.  In hindsight it may have been a bit much.  If it counts for anything I would like to offer an apology on behalf of the orcs near you.  Sorry for any inconvenience caused by our senseless rabble rousing.

Forgiveness is a virtue.  Thank you.

Re: Organic Portals and Fireworks

Apology accepted. I forgive you all.

Thank you.
