ruffdiamond Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Actually, I remember seeing a programme on television a while back about the large number of British people who had emigrated to Bulgaria to take advantage of the lower cost of living there. There are so many British people now living there there that there is a TV show called "The English Neighbour", which stars Leslie Grantham who has, himself, moved to that country. I wonder if the Bulgarians think we're a bunch of thieves and pickpockets because we live the easy life off their economy. not everthing on the 'telly' is true tho,,, and anyway,,, no wonder so many Bulgarian's want to get out, now that 'Dirty Dens' turned up, du du, du du du, du du du du du,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 No of course.The reality is most tourists don't really see the reality of a country,they see the touristy areas,not the mundane norm,so it is very hard to make a judgment on a country from a few days visiting tourist spots I was in the touristy bits. Are you saying the mundane places are worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Whitley Bay actually. errrr, posh as well,,, I was in the touristy bits. Are you saying the mundane places are worse. well, you went there on holiday Dave,,, that doesn't make sense, after your earlier post about people going there on holiday,,, Edited February 11, 2015 by ruffdiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 errrr, posh as well,,, well, you went there on holiday Dave,,, I certainly couldn't live there. Was a dump. Anyway you, get back on thread, whatever it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Right. As I said yesterday and I hate to repeat myself. Can we get this thread back on track. It has now gone into a slanging match. Has anyone got any news on what is happening to the clubs getting their sponsorship back or how the riders are going on getting visa's for this coming season as it is now getting very close to starting. So please can we put the other matter to bed once and for all. Will check tomorrow and if it is just the same I will not post on this thread until it comes back onto the topic in hand. This post did make me chuckle. Many threads go off on a tangent, especially long running ones. It always comes back in the end. I love the school teacher threats though!

Mr Snackette Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Your post would have credence if you hadn't continued your tirade AFTER WK had explained his position and consistently reverted back to an original post. So essentially once WK had explained, which he did immediately, you didn't have a position. So no, I'm not too slow/blind/ignorant. I read his original post, felt it was all encompassing and therefore worded wrong (even though I knew what he meant). I then read WK clarify what he meant.. Had I been slow/ignorant/blind I would have ignored his clarification and continued the racist accusations. YOU did that. 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.

Grachan Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 not everthing on the 'telly' is true tho,,, and anyway,,, no wonder so many Bulgarian's want to get out, now that 'Dirty Dens' turned up, du du, du du du, du du du du du,,,, About 18,000 English in Bulgaria according to thsi: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26324564 Population of Bulgaria is around 7,250,000. 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'm not sure we are debating on how many Bulgarians are here, and how many Brit's are there,,, but if you are suggesting that we should maybe allow more in to even the 'percentage' up, that's up to you,,, I was only saying that not everything that you see on the telly is true, and the fact that if 'Dirty Den' was your neighbour, you may be inclined to move away, as anyone that has watched him on 'Eastenders' in the past, may feel that he is a 'bit of a dodgy bloke' and might not want him looking over their garden fence,,, Edited February 11, 2015 by ruffdiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice selective quoting there, conveniently leaving out the parts that don't fit your argument... all the signs of someone who has no argument. Just to help you out, on the 8th he actually said... "As for your Surgeon - no problem their either - he/she is useful to this Country. My gripe is with those who aren't and there are plenty of them about if you open your eyes. Racist - possibly!!!* Truthful - YES!!! * Depending on how you read my Post. Since when was TRUTH Filth?" Quite clearly explaining his gripe is with those who offer nothing to the country. A very legitimate standpoint. So very quickly we knew what he meant, which renders every single one of your posts since including your doctored one here, irrelevant. Run along so the thread can continue. Edited February 11, 2015 by BWitcher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
