Very rough and off the cuff translation:

He can go see the House of God, I'm for the wonders* the good Lord made

*meaning Wine, women, song etc

Sounds like something Horrie would say

See, furri comes in with some humour, while other twats come in their blow up girlfriends.

If only some of the other Bannies could take a leaf out of the furrster's book.

Dunno what I'd call most Indians - I suppose it's up to them - but I see nothing wrong with 'curry stain on the shirtfront of Humanity' for the likes of Batty and Buckwit.

>> 'curry stain on the shirtfront of Humanity'

Is it inevitable that "Bannies" will suffer the same unfair treatment?

Agreed, you farking Aussie.

Does that make Aussie a racial term?

My name is Angela shortened to Ang or Ange, some people call me Angie, I politely tell them that I don't like being called that. Most people accept that easliy only people who think they are being highly 'amusing' carry on calling me Angie.

I have never used the term "subi", I see no need to use it. People from the Subcontinent have, on the most part, said quite politely that they don't liike the term. Why continue to offend people in that way? Telling them to accept it because you say it's not offensive? This place is supposed to be a community of people who like cricket and also have other things in common they discuss, why deliberately offnd a part of that community?

I have noticed that it's a few die-hards who continue to use the term as if to prove a point, (mainly Aussies and the odd Saffie, which may say quite a lot) and waht point does it prove anyway? Just try and get with the few decent people that remain here would seem to be a good starting point.

Well some might note that Paki is an acceptable term in Aus (per a few Aussie posters here). Why is it racial in England?

To me it has always been a geographical term. Same as Aussie and Saffie.

by DJ_Smerk on Wed 17 Mar 2010, 09:34

Just for the record, I hate the word "Paki".

If it's said in a bad tone, it's disgusting.
