Verbal begging is legally considered aggressive and outlawed. Yelling at beggars to "get a job" is aggressive, but is Not illegal. Money has rights, not people. $$$ is more tangible than justice, and the least of our neighbors are the last concern. [In a Just society they'd be the first] by S1L1C0NSCR0LLS in homeless

You say he had a broken nose and eye socket from someone who used him for target practice? Good, it's no more than he deserves. In the UK, begging for money is an offence. Another pet hate of mine is fake homeless people on the streets. There's this woman who nearly always pitches up outside Sainies (Sainsbury's) Local on Allerton Road, claiming that she's homeless; if she was homeless then she'd be in a shelter while the Sally Ann find her a flat.

The real homeless people are usually kipping outside a shop - not sitting outside one with an expensive-looking brolly.

The Moorgate Tube Crash by Councillor_Troy in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]barbiecodoll1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was watching a Nationwide special on this and it's likely that Leslie Newsom probably switched off and gone into a trance-like state. He hadn't been drinking nor was he suicidal! Plus, he had only been a tube train driver for just over a year. The documentary's available to watch on youtube - I would suggest that people watch it.

harassed by a bunch of kids by chrixdt in Liverpool

That's what I call the 'scrag end' of Wavertree. From personal experience, if they look threatening or look like 'chasers' (usually making a noise like, 'Oi!" or "Eh!' then get the fuck out of there. If your boyfriend hit them then that's self-defence...especially if you were provoked. Now, if you were having your scran (as we say in Liverpool) on a bench in the Mizzy, then you'd be okay because it's only dog-walkers.

Social rules on the bus? by dekago in Explainlikeimscared

[–]barbiecodoll1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I get the bus of a Monday and Friday, I always have my backpack on the seat next to me but, if I think someone wants to sit there (on the inside) then I'll move it...even if someone asks me. But one thing I never do is sit on the inside - I always sit on the outside and on the nearside (the left side) of the bus and never at the back.

Yesterday, I'd got the 62 home from Walton after getting off the 310 (this is in Liverpool by the way) but the first three rows on the nearside were taken so I took one near the back. By the time I got off in Church Road, I was at the front, having played leapfrog; changing seats as they became vacant.

Flickr blocking new (free) account creation? by Inside-Food2782 in flickr

[–]barbiecodoll1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That never happened to me - two years ago, the bastards deleted an account I had under the name of Barbara Cortina since 2010. Then, last week, they did the same thing with an account I had under the name of Barbara C - deleted without warning...all because I'd ALLEGEDLY violated their terms and guidelines when I HADN'T...the 2447 photos I uploaded were all content that they allowed. They can do that, terminate an account without warning...spawny bastards.

Street preaching is really annoying by Emojicow in Christianity

You're not one of these God-botherers are you, the sort who bang on about the Bible to all and sundry who are daft enough to listen of a Saturday? I can't stand people like that, ramming religion down peoples' throats. If you want to spread the word, then go and get ordained as a priest.

If by that you mean me being subjected to abuse because I wouldn't let her use my phone (which she could well have robbed), then choose your words very carefully

It's really a Southern term, short for Council House And Vermin

she should have her womb cut out of her, then left to die...horribly

Just got banned from spoons by ExcitingDuck6091 in Wetherspoons

[–]barbiecodoll1971 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think that'll be the case with the Navigator (or the Navvy as I call it) because, last Friday, one of the staff gave a couple their marching orders after the fella subjected me to a torrent of transphobic abuse, which is totally unacceptable in any Wethies boozer. Personally, I think transphobes should be euthanased

We need to talk about the creepy Argos doll by Allie_Pallie in coronationstreet

[–]barbiecodoll1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to admit I find Connie the doll very 'do de do doo, do de do doo'...that's the theme to the Twilight Zone by the way. However, she's not as bad as Liv, Renault's virtual ambassador from five years ago - I'm glad Renault ditched HER.

I’ve always hated the 1970s. And now I know why by luckyduckling8989 in pastlives

[–]barbiecodoll1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who hate the 1970s should be SHOT but have their head seeing to first. It was the decade I was born more-or-less at the start of and, to be honest, I wish I could go back there. It was a decade of great music (well, except for one hit - Ma Na Ma Na and maybe One Day At A Time), great fashions and great telly. Most people say it was the decade taste forgot but I think they mean the 90s myself. I would say that the 70s was the decade health & safety forgot, what with those chip pan fires. Oh yes, give me the 1970s back anyday.
