Humphrey Appleby Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 So around 1 in 400 people in Bulgaria are English. Around 35,000 (estimated) Bulgarians live in the UK (Wiki figures - always reliable!). So 35,000 out of about 64,100,000. So around 1 in 500 people in the UK are Bulgarian. Per capita, there's a higher percentage of English people in Bulgaria than there are Bulgarians in the UK (if I got my maths correct, which is not totally guaranteed). I think it's more like 1 in 5000 in the UK are Bulgarian. 1 in 400 Brits in Bulgaria. I was in Bulgaria in November, and the impression I got from looking at the residents was the TWK's comments in many cases were not far from the truth. That's not racist, but very factual of what i saw. Some on here of course will insist that I am racist. So you stopped in Varna on a cruise? I wonder what impression Bulgarians would get if they sailed-up the Tyne and alighted in Newcastle city centre on a Saturday night... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Knight Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I guessed when you joined this debate that your powers of comprehension would be limited. Let us examine THE FACTS TWK posted his original offensive (most think racist) comment on 7/02/2015 TWK then went on to “clarify” his position 8/02/2015 adding, in response to the challenge that his racist remarks were FILTH, that: “Since when was TRUTH Filth” He then again posted the same day that: “As for the rest - those I mentioned in our Town and City Centres - I do not retract one word”. It was only on 9/02/15 that he began to acknowledge that he made blanket sweeping statement, but really didn’t acknowledge how racist it was. A further post that day (apparently his last post on the subject!!!!!!!!) which again failed to recognise that racism was not a question of opinion, it is bigotry pure and simple. It was only yesterday (10/02/2015 @ 19:37) that TWK finally recognised that there may be some issues, when he posted his “clarification”: “Perhaps I did word my original Post badly........” Of course his comments really demonstrated that he has no idea what racism is. He wrote: “Racism, to me, is about hating people from other Races.....” As most people know it’s little to do with hatred. My dear old late father was a shocking racist. One of his best mates was a West Indian called Everton. Despite their friendship he would say without any hint of embarrassment or shame that he didn’t trust those darkies....but was quite happy to share a drink with them. Hatred has little to do with it....it was just ignorance, plain and simple. Clearly you have a very strange concept of “immediately”. Still if it keeps you happy........ then so be it. Not sure that most do actually................................................. Some do certainly - some can see the true meaning of my Post. This certainly seems to be keeping YOU happy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch958 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Maybe we should stop biting-he seems to have one or two apologists but most can see you meant no real offence For me I don't mind foreigners being restricted because I want British juniors to get a crack of the whip even if the pl is slightly weakened at first 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you stopped in Varna on a cruise? I wonder what impression Bulgarians would get if they sailed-up the Tyne and alighted in Newcastle city centre on a Saturday night... And Burgas. Spent time during the day in the city centre, and never felt so depressed to be with down and outs and portly folk wearing charity clothes. They resembled upper class Romanians. Pimps in the street supervising Prossers with red eyes, and drugged to hell, being shuffled around the town when the Police were around. And you want to compare that with young folk enjoying themselves in the TOON centre. You must be desperate for ammunition these days Kevan. You obviously have not been to the rejuvenated Newcastle that we have had for many years now. Must have something in your craw with the North East methinks.

ruffdiamond Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) So, it's a 6, but what about the one's that are rubbish after a season ??? :-( This thread just keeps on going round and round, like it's still on the bobbin,,, maybe speedway is for people that have the attention span of a hamster, just going 'round and round',,, as fast as they can,,, and the fans are people who watch hamster's just going 'round and round',,, but never actually getting anywhere,,, a dunno :-( Edited February 13, 2015 by ruffdiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been to Bulgaria, and the places and more you mentioned, sufficient to say that I would prefer Newcastle to there, and yet I have never been to Newcastle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphrey Appleby Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Must have something in your craw with the North East methinks. Nothing against the North East at all - even like parts of it. I do find the indignation when someone makes a sweeping generalisation about a place somewhat ironic though... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) is there not some Commonwealth Counties in Europe ??? ???? Can you further define this comment please?

orion Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Nothing against the North East at all - even like parts of it.

I guess the moral is that people tend to get upset when you make a sweeping generalisation about a place . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some do certainly - some can see the true meaning of my Post. This certainly seems to be keeping YOU happy. The complete opposite in fact.....the whole thing saddens me. As you said, we have never met, but you dont strike me as a bad bloke. The problem is you just dont get it....which is rather sad. Whether that is due to ignorance or a lack of education is not for me to say. Until you understand that you cant make sweeping statements about a whole nation and groups of people without being challenged, little will be resolved. ???? Can you further define this comment please? Where for example would that country be? OK, I'll bite. Apart from the UK, I can think of two more Cyprus and Malta. There may be more?

ruffdiamond Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 ???? Can you further define this comment please? Where for example would that country be? it wasn't so much a 'comment', t'was more of a question,,, at the time I didn't have the answer to hand, but had a 'feeling' that there was, and after 'googling' it, I found that along with the UK, Cyprus and Malta were both 'Commonwealth Countries' within Europe,,, although 'google' may not be 100% accurate, it's pretty reliable :-) as for topic in hand,,, how about, 5.99 each, or 2 for a tenner ???,,, (for non-Brit riders),,, for those that seem to have been side-tracked ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
