A Tale Of Two Men

[Theland]

The England football manager sat watching the game, wearing a smart suit, waistcoat shirt and tie. Immaculate. A great example and ambassador for the team, the game generally and our country.

In an interview, the new Lord Mayor of Sheffield wore a back to front baseball cap, a scruffy tee shirt, and ill fitting track suit pants, and rounded it all off with the mayoral chain of office.

Even though he is a Muslim and might not know better, wouldn't you think that somebody should have advised him regarding the dignity of the office he holds, and how to present himself and behave?

[ummmm]

Some people are just deluded.

Who said that rubbish ?

[aelmpvw]

//England lost didnt they ? //
i assumed pp was talking about the forthcoming world cup ...

England 1 Nigeria 0

Gromit resorting to "facts" again!

[Mamyalynne]

That was sorted out on the previous page Jude, do keep up.

[Just-Jude]

I'm well aware of that Mamya.

I was pointing out Gromit's never ending stream of "facts" that he manages to get wrong or just plucks out of thin air.

Someone to Theland : "Say your thoughts by all mean...but just say them in a way that does not cause offence.".

Someone to Naomi: "... if you're not feeling quite sharp enough to understand the problem with it, perhaps you ought to go and have a lie down eh?".

If you didn't know otherwise you'd think these remarks were made by two different[i people, wouldn't you?

I think the Site Rules which are being alluded to constantly incorporate, or should I say [i]are often applied] using the same double standard: criticism is either fair comment or abuse depending on the group being criticised.

Sorry I had already forgotten the score to a meaningless friendly match.
But the point was that England didn't lose.

[Mamyalynne]

I wish Mayor Magid well in his role and that he does Sheffield proud.

[Gromit]

While the Mayor didn't look scruffy, the baseball cap backwards fashion is pretty annoying.

It's a tad dated I agree.
