I'll let the congregation decide on the thickness issue. TBH you and Churchy have come out looking like cocks.

HTH.

Leave Brillo alone. He's just sticking up for his mate who by all accounts is a thoroughly decent chap in RL even if he is a cretinous cock sucker on CUK.

Would you say, if the shop was owned by a New Zealander, that it was the Kiwi shop? Or would you call it the Zimbabwe shop if it was owned by a Zimbabwean?

Yes. Over here I call the shop owned by a Turkish person, the Turk shop because its owned by him, plus they tend to be the only ones open on a Sunday or late. If I go to a pub called the An Sibin then I say I'm going to the Irish pub, if its called the Irish pub then I'll say the same or possibly the Paddy pub. I could tell you about the Klaapse Klopse in Cape Town, is that racist?

Well its a bad test. Any corner shop can be a paki shop if it is open long hours, has a good stock and is friendly.

This is a test of whether it is acceptable language to use in an Asian run shop.

Is a cock better or worse than a cretin?

And that is why racism is an issue that is hard to solve in this country. The recent case of racism between Luis Suarez and Evra during a football match is a classic example. Suarez and his mates are used to a term in a way "they" think is normal to use but obviously the term is derogatory towards a certain race.

Since when have you been know to argue your case? Why not just call us cretins like usual? Prove to me how thick you are.

Because that's the test to apply.

Right, I'm flouncing out of this thread. It's all a bit sad really.

It is disappointing that Churchill has chosen to actually justify himself and try to convince us that he was not in the wrong. A simple apology and a decent effort to educate himself on the word he used would have done him good. But true to his style he has chosen to come out all guns blazing and to be honest, he has really gone down in my esteem.

[BrilloPad]

Even by Churchills standards that is really clutching at straws.

If the word is complimentary in your opinion and you deem it has no racial overtones at all, at lunchtime in your office shout out to all your colleagues 'I'm just heading off to the Paki shop does anyone want anything?'

Then come back and tell us when you're getting benched.

As per my reply above, at the office one has to call a spade an optimum logic sub stratum revelation device.

Why would it have to be Asian run?

Because that's the test to apply.

WHS. Churchill, Brillo et. al. have really gone down in my estimation by their juvenile keyboard warrior attitude a.k.a. say stuff on t'internet they wouldn't say in real life in a work context, say. If you think it's right then use it all the time and argue your case to the end.

Northerners you see. It's in their blood.

You never see CM anymore now they're married.

Just saying like.

And I am sorry I was ever up in your estimation - that upsets me. I must have been doing something wrong.

It would be more sensible to pop round your local Asian run corner shop and ask them to put up stickers in their windows saying 'Nominated for paki shop of the year'.

Why would it have to be Asian run?
