Bannies v subis

What amuses me most is the racist undecurrent in not wanting to be called a subi . . . somehow the Bannie subis feel it putsthem in the same boat with the stupid Paks and Bangers . . . subi as an abbreviation might be deemed condescending, but subcontinental is no more racist than latin american, caribbean, sub-Saharan african, mediterranean or other term we use to describe regions instead of individual countries within the region . . .besides, the buggers are all tarred with the same brush, anyway . . .

And I've hardly used it at all since all the sookin' went on. Hence my Q about would Bannies end up under the same heading.

I guess I'm just getting bored with all the PC bulltwang on here. I prefer to say what I think, which is afterall the cornerstone of forumming.

If you're a qunt then I'll call you a qunt. If people think I'm being a qunt, then let them say so. Words on a page. [awaits string of one-word posts ]

qunt

Hehe, on queue. Cheers tac.

I'll be disappointed if there aren't at least 4 or 5 more.

a string of qunts? I always imagined they'd be called a quiver of qunts . . .

Right now, one would make me quiver.

Being labelled a South Pacificer or Southern Hemispherian and getting lobbed in with Kiwis and Jaaps is the equivalent

It's bad enough we get lobbed in with Sozzies now

Some Aussies reacted adversely to "Cons"?? PMSL. They must have been weak qunts.

I find it a term of endearment when lobbed at me from an English comrade.

Which is exactly as it should be!
Anyone trying to "score points" by using the term 'Cons' in a derrogative sense these days against Aussies is only kidding themselves ... and for offence to be taken (and shown) only fuels the dare ...
If I could have a quid for everytime I've bantered with Aussie mates in pubs when they've done the "soap and baths" routine, and I/other Pom mates have retorted with the "convict offspring" riposte, I'd be a bloody millionaire right now.

Pre 2005 Ashes, Sky had a brilliant sketch involving Warne and ??? being sentenced and put on a convict ship way back in the 1800's whilst Gower and Co looked on as the judiciary ... then through a pall of smoke, the clock was fast forwarded to 2005 .. as Warne walked forward in whites flicking up a cricket ball and a glint in his eye (seeking revenge presumably) .... great theatre ... and it worked well ! Malice aforethought ? Absolute bollocks!

The irony was that you buggers lost that particular Ashes series !!

Bang on .... In a nutshell.

Fair call, Merls. All this sookin' and attempting to change a forummer's style or habits is a farkin tedious waste of time.

"Oh please, can't we all get along?" Boo-farkin-hoo.

The post count in here is sh!tty enough without turning it into some Facebook style love-fest.

Exactly.

Next there'll be people rushing off to report things...

No, shirley not. Do people do that? It would seem a very angsty thing to do.

What sort of chaps would do such a thing?

I may have done it in the very early days of this board, just to see what happens.

Spoiler:

As it turns out, SFA, except for being called a weak qunt.

And deservedly so.

yep
