Can't beat a good Emp troll thread.

It's not a troll thread.  It's a question asking if advertisers are trying too hard to appear PC.

If that's trolling, perhaps you could suggest a list of sanitised, approved subjects we can talk about?

Turn it in. As always, you get plenty of measured responses, but you only respond to the ones who take umbridge with your postings.

I mean I'm not complaining, I find it genuinely entertaining. Crack on G!

My white mate in Cumbria, his white mum woke up from a coma and spoke in a Caribbean accent. 

Brilliant. 


Sadly, she's dead now.

I used to know a white Jamaican woman who moved to the UK and she had a strong Jamaican accent. Pretty much everyone she met thought she was taking the piss.

Properly odd. 

I've known a couple of people who've told me about their comas. The first one had memories of dreams including dreaming she'd been visited by Baggies players ( she was a huge fan) and it turned out she had. The other one said it was just four weeks of blank and she's had other gaps in her memory since, which isn't such a good story   No change in accent though.

Yes, I do, Andy.  As do we all...  as do we all.

However, most of us have the maturity, vocabulary and restraint of someone older than twelve.

Well, except the under thirteens obviously.

I don't know why you're so afraid of naughty words. It really is odd. The sort of things you say often can be so egregious and offensive, and you don't bat an eyelid. Because it's you saying it, and because you happened to redact all the naughties out of it.

But someone uses a word like 'wanker' and you're all up in arms throwing around insults and accusations and arm chair psychological diagnoses and all of that stuff. And weirdly you seem to only ever do that when it's me. Fretmeister calls the DUP 'fuckwits' and you don't say anything.

You're just weird and very inconsistent with your holier-than-thou attitude. And then you send me concerned PM's asking me why everyone tore into you about that other famous thread of yours where you had to change the title of it in order to hide your silliness: http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/105565/categories-of-dust/p2

And even in that thread, you skirted around calling people a bunch of names - you definitely use the term 'FFS' when dealing with people a whole bunch of times. Hardly mature. Hardly restrained. Hardly er ... vocabular-ied.... *pinches bridge of nose*

Beyond the pale really famalam. Better up yer game chap, starting to think you're a puritan.
