Londoners!

If you're realy that offended, get a social worker, get some couselling and get over it.

Nope. Wrong answer - the problem here is you, not me. I don't give a toss what you do or say in your real life, but on a public board there is a minimum level of decent behaviour. You've well and truly overstepped the mark, not only that you repeatedly do so.

I'm not really sure what your reasons are, but it's not big, it's not clever and it's not even remotley funny, it's just plain offensive. If you can't act with some reasonable level of restraint and maturity then you shouldn't be here. If you disagree let's take it up with the mods.

Well, excuse the feck out of me. If I have an opinion, I'll say it. If you disagree, argue cogently against it.

But don't think for one second I'm going to be lectured by likes of you, wagging your cyber-finger at me and threatening to put me in the naughty corner.

so much hatred and anger today in here.
am i the only who got paid today?

[sasguru]

I thought there were more pakistanis, indians and banglawongas up your neck of the woods, SA. Ripe for the BNP, I'd have thought.

You mean a cogent argument like the above?
Here's my cogent response: T*osser.

I am arguing cogently against it. It's simple, if you've got an opinion to express, do it in language that's not blatantly inflammatory and offensive to others.

If you insist in acting like a child then expect to be treated like one.

If you've got a problem with this then as I say let's go a neutral authority - I'm quite happy for us to self police, but you consistenly overstep the mark. If you can't restrain yourself then maybe you should be restrained.

totally agree,

arrived yesterday on the manchester-euston express, as soon as i stepped off the train your in this "must go quickly, im far too important t acknowledge you" atmosphere..

meandered down to the tube, theres no rush FFS, the next tube is but 2 mins away so why do you have to run??

DLR to canary wharf, the whole journey was silent, no one talking at all???

ok up norf you have the local scallies chatting about how drunk they were or what sized gold hoop earings they're gonna buy next.. old grannies muttering about the cost of living but most importantly people that in general look as though being 2 mins earlier for work is very low on their priorities in comparisson to planning what they're going to do this weekend and pleased about it..

i think i missed the "no smiling, no talking sign"

You have to have your wits about you because of the number of murderers and nutcases here. Its about survival.

London has always needed new blood, its the same now as it was 2000 years ago, that new blood just comes from further away these days.

London draws people in, uses them up and spits them out again. The ones that can't hack it get spat out sooner than others. I knew when I was sixteen that it was calling me but there are several people that I was at school with who have tried it here and gone running back to the sticks after less than a couple of years.

I love it here. I always feel moved whenever I stand on London Bridge and take in the view (although not between 8 and 9 in the morning or I would be moved for a different reason). I owe my wealth to London I owe my marriage to London (Mrs Gonzo heard London calling too and it put the two of us together in the same place at the same time). I absolutely love it here.

And for those who think noone ever talks on the tube - I love this:

You cant call the mods in just because you dont like what someone is saying. Jesus - half this board said they'd consider voting for the BNP last week - it'd be a lonely (boring) place if all of them went too.

You cant take KY too seriously - so what if he over steps the mark. It's like laughing at Rigsby on Rising Damp!

Just put him on your ignore list if you dont like him.

Aye. For the quick-witted and intelligent London is a great place. Did you know there are health benefits as well? London has the lowest rate of Alzheimers in the country - due to the old noggin always being stimulated.

It's not something I've even considered until now, and to be honest I won't either. But the point is completely valid. A smidgeon of self control and it's no longer an issue - as for others on the board, I'd say exactly the same to anyone else, and have done over the last few years whenever it's stepped over the line.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and in a private conversation they can use any language they want, but once you step into a public forum there are certain rules of behaviour that shouldn't even have to be articulated, no matter enforced.
