Papa Zoom: I entily agree. But the last time l said it l was told by a supposed friend they would not be wanting to see me. So now l say nothing but you can
Developer: lts crazy. I think a lot of this is to distract from what is really happening. Its like the new world order has really taken over. Absolute madness
Marshmud: Yes too much hate here too. Not just for BAME but for many other diverse people too. There is more hate in the last few years than a long time. Too many of the same ethnic are killing one another.
(V): Yeah I remember my dad telling me years ago that when they had to dig up and remove all the coffins from a cematery one fells open and it was the remains of a woman and her hair was really long and still growing!
Bernice: This is exactly what I meant about misinterpretation The vid was just a joke actually sent by someone via Pugnacious Pawn No one said no riots were going on in Manchester This is one of the reasons why I do not post much on these boards simple because a joke or anything I seem to say gets taken out of context by certain people. I actually thought I wrote pretty good English even though I am probably not as good as explaining things as some maybe. No one said POMS did not riot. We all know they do and I was actually enjoying myself posting on here for a change. Some people really need to lighten up and read things twice before they get all uptight and get the wrong end of the stick
(V): Yes and plenty of Gin was drank too! Much cheaper than tea! Most of my relatives went out there in the 60s for 10quid and a medical check. My dad was the only one who didnt go. I am now in touch with relatives I have not seen for 30 years thanks to Facebook. I love the internet! It opens up a whole new world for me and others who cannot communicate in other ways Although I think on these games sites a lot of misinterpretation happens.
Subject: Re: not one remark about this post, must have been missed.
Bernice: Are you talking about Shameless or the estate program? Shameless is very funny in spite of the characters. No matter what happens they all stick up for one another. I was not talking about tht one the Fergie made being funny. She did her best but I dont think she was really the right person to be making that program. It is not as though the people would relate to her even though she is pretty down to earth
Subject: Re: not one remark about this post, must have been missed.
Bernice: Its nothing new. Been like that for years in Wythenshawe. That program goes back a few years and I think it may have improved somewhat but you ever watch the program Shameless? That is supposed to be based on people in estates like that. Very funny program though Not all council estates are like that. I have lived on one for first time ever for a while now and the people are absolutely the best. I have made loads of friends and it is a great community. It is the people that determine how good or bad an estate is. It is the same the world over.
Subject: Just shows how Media access is changing. Immediate updates
Update concerning national unrest
Assistant Chief Constable Nick Baker, from Staffordshire Police, said:
“Tuesday was a fairly normal night in terms of incidents dealt with in Staffordshire. However, we did get more calls than normal from members of our communities concerned about false rumours of disorder
“There were lots of visible police patrols on duty throughout the evening. Our officers have been spending time speaking to our communities and promptly challenging any behaviour which may threaten the peace.
“We are working hard to reassure our communities. Hundreds of leaflets have been delivered across the county to homes and businesses. We have been and will continue to use social media including Facebook and Twitter to keep people informed.
Many thousands of Staffordshire residents are now receiving regular updates from across the county via social media.
“We will continue to work with our colleagues regionally and importantly work with our communities in Staffordshire to keep them safe.
“People are encouraged to visit facebook.com/staffordshirepolice or follow @staffspolice on Twitter to get updates.”
Two ways of looking at it. It is a good thing and yet should police be spending more time on the streets than updating on Twitter etc?
Bernice: I did not say it was not too much trouble I said Facebook was spreading rumours about areas where I live saying there was trouble when there was not. Of course there was trouble in London. I did not say there wasnt. I said London was a big city.
Subject: Off a mate of mine who works up Hanley duck
Well all is calm is Stoke, Hanley and Newcastle. I don't blame people for bring over cautious. Lets just hope the folk round here have their heads better screwed on than others who feel it's their right to destroy other people property and wreck innocent people's lives.
