But you've got that right, I guess... as much as I have it to come here and puke over all that I called her a hard nosed bitch that took the legs out of the working classes, how is that praise?

Making council houses sellable does not necessarily benefit the working classes, at least not the broader working class, it just means they can be snapped up by investors, which helps gentrification and you end up with less council houses about for people who need it to go to.

Just to add some context, because you might be missing my humour here, but Birmingham is this sort of bleak post-industrial (i.e. post-Thatcherite) city full of drug addicts, religious fanatics and atrociously ugly modern architecture. I hadn't been before and have been trying to perfect the accent as it happens since I came back. ''Oiright bab''. ''I called the woife''. ''Buzz'' (for bus). My favourite word to say in a Birmingham accent is microwave: ''moicrowave''; ''moicrowhaeve'' - when I tell you it is the accent of Ozzy Osbourne you may get the general idea? Nee place for a simple Northumbrian lad, a place like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with it as much as I am with the U.S. accent and because I'm a lazy ass to train my ears, so I guess I'd have a hard time with words anywhere I go in the UK 2) You are a Sir and you feel disgusted and uncomfortable with uglyness, but I live in Southamerica so I'm used to drug addicts, religious fanatics and ugly modern architecture (not sure if atrocious, though) ...... Have you been to a bus station in the deep Brazil? ........... so....... show me your picture, pliz, I will not faint! 3) Why did you go there anyway? if it's so unpleasant? Do you dig adventure tourism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually quite popular in Argentina. All the British toffs formed cricket (and polo) clubs, some of which morphed into (extent) Argentine football clubs. 1 minute ago, janrichmond said: NOOOO!!! not cricket...please Do you want me to lie?

So you travel to ugly places just to support a cricket team, hahaha, you're like the Boca and River fans, they are capable of going to the moon to support those shites! Yeah, I think I've heard something about those cricket times here but yeah, only the uptight assholes liked it and polo is "popular" among the rich, high society and landowners. Every time I see their asses in magazines I have to roll my eyes, lol..... so empty they are. Anyway..... I'm still waiting for your terrible picture (which Im sure it is not!)

I'll sort out the picture from my hotel window tomorrow. I am glad you are keen to see it. It is as they say, a ''classic Birmingham view''. The funny thing is in the corner (not seen by the camera) a police van was arresting some people. Understand I had just arrived in the place!!
