This is not Twitter. Why should anyone have to put up with malicious abuse?

Were you abusive to anyone recently?

No more than usual... all in jest but some people are very sensitive, it seems..

Possible my little joke about a wheelchair.. Might have pushed someone past their tipping point.

You were mocking a disability and you wonder why you were reported!

How do you know someone tired to get you banned, Emitdeb?

Nobby is usually one of the top suspects. He hits that "Report" button at least once per day.

Sent me a letter... Innit.

Didn't think Nobby would grass on me... But who knows!?

Not true. I only report people who are repeatedly abusive.

Why should I have to put up with them? They belong on Twitter. I'm just helping them get to their happy place.

Isn't that the point of the block? The rest of us can then decide for ourselves... as it should be.

You might think that but behaviour breeds behaviour.

And remember good manners cost nothing.

Is this true, has to be a joke surely? No way on earth that the biggest mug punter on the forum could be charging for tips. Or could he?

the dargon got found out

Betfair sent you a letter about your behaviour?    Nobby, you're far too sensitive.  Have you ever reported me?

I'm surprsed they would stretch to the price of a stamp

I bet it was 2nd class

Nobby, you're far too sensitive.  Have you ever reported me?



I only ever report posters who are repeatedly abusive. You have to be pretty mindless to get me to report you.

Ok,  pretty sure I've never been "abusive" here but your definition of "abusive" may differ from mine.

Surely it would be an email. Letter sounds a bit old hat to me. Handwritten as well prob

I once got a warning email for suggesting someone might have to 'suck it up'

Letter = email... Bog standard final warning, with 3 issues added. 1. The word colour  2. The word Wheelchair and 3. The word S**z

Apparently it's ok to call a fellow forumite an @rsewipe... Go Figure!

Careful now, Emitdeb, the UK authorities are incarcerating their citizens for similar thought crimes. Try to stay out of trouble, eh.

Good idea...

I got a yellow card back in about 2006 - non reported as they had moderators who actively policed in that era and wasn't aimed at a forum member or indeed anyone from memory..more for emphasis...
'swearing' was the given charge...but any repeat and I was gone apparently..(if only they sigh..  )

Wish they still had such diligence...though mainly  to customer service...

Wolof’s

Name one.

How do the Authorities know what you are thinking?

Typical rubbish from people manipulated by the dark forces trying to destroy our society for their own ends.

Get Brexit Dun

Protect Our Borders

Save the NHS

Three word slogan brigade being manipulated ad nauseum

Please explain your post WD

It’s Saturday love!

Ok there is sinister manipulation of social media to turn countries in on themselves.

A picture paints a thousand words but words can paint a thousand pictures

Illegals
Migrants
Men of fighting age
Muslims
Citizens being jailed for thought crimes
Lefty lawyers

About to go to the Oval. You are a smart man. Manipulation of simple people into scapegoating of minorities echo’s 1930’s Germany and it troubles me deeply.

Ordinary no doubt decent people Who I would probably have no problem having a drink with coming out with vile divisive comments and phrases engineered by people from the Dark Side.

I believe Sofa's remarks was somewhat tongue-in-cheek; a humorous reference to 1984. This is the only social media I use so I have no idea what the twits or faeces say, but on here I can usually figure out if someone is being serious or not. Usual football banter imo, which is why I choose this forum as my media of choice.

Enjoy your day at the Oval.

Sofa is funny

You’d have to have a good sense of humour to be a Totteringham fan

The thought Police is a particularly pernicious line quoted by idols who listen to filth.

I did 1984 at school too and I have been on the receiving end of Sofa’s rapid wit and repartee so no malicious intent from me. My point was more about the term rather than who or why.

Basically Lord of the Flies, the last remaining poster gets to fck piggy.

racists do use anti immigration stories to further their own cause, but most people have legitimate concerns, such as overcrowding, lack of local school places for their children, longer NHS waiting times, housing stock, crime rates, congested public transport etc, sarcastically ridiculing people for having those genuine concerns and frivolously dismissing them all as xenophobic louts only serves to highlight just how prevalent tribalism is in modern day political thinking, 'I'm left, you're saying something bad about immigrants, you racist', it's fk dumb and tedious. I recently watched a debate from the 80s with Ted Heath and Joan Ruddock on nuclear weapons, the stark contrast in articulation, calibre and debating skills between politicians then and now is night and day.

Kind Regards.

I recently watched as episode of Steptoe & Son from the very early 1970s. Albert was complaining that there weren't any decent fish & chips shops any more as they were all now Muslim curry houses

That's interesting SNC. I didn't have my first authentic Indian until the 80's and this was only because sis offered me a freebie. Been hooked ever since. Didn't realise they were so prevalent back then.

Steptoe & Son supposedly lived in Sheppard's Bush

Used to watch it, but not like we had a choice with only 3 channels to choose from

Oldest curry house still going gonna be 100 next year...

Was in papers as landlord not wanting to extend lease...

Fish & Chips, Chinese, Wimpy and KFC were the main choices we had, from memory. Indians, kebabs and American burgers were few and far between.

Don't recall many Indians at all until the 80's

We recently watched the Love thy neighbour (1972) movie.. So dated and so unfunny, that it was actually funny. Could only suffer half.. tbh.

Have a nice day WD, weather looks ok for bowling... Who are you rooting for?

There was a large infux of people from the Indian sub continent before the 1971 Immigration Act really tightened the rules

Most of our Indians up here were Bangladeshis but
branded as Indians as folk were already
accepting of Indians, with Bangladesh being
a relatively new country at the time...

Early to mid 70s,

Still rare to be branded as Bangladeshi although
there are a few.

My old school was described recently as 50% Bangladeshi and the other 50% as a mixture of Indians, Pakistanis, West Indians and White English...

Mostly the Bangladeshis didn't try to integrate with the other 50%.

Bangladesh had a pretty unstable beginning to
life and lots of Bangladeshis got to UK before
Bangladesh was even created, formerly east Pakistan.

They didn't trust Pakistan (West Pakistan) , nor India
but felt it better to brand as Indian food as it didnt
confuse folk. (lol)

I have Pakistani neighbours who live opposite. (Lovely family)... He Hates them but I suspect he's prejudiced.

Hi Emit,

Yes having a great summer at the cricket. Lost on the first Test but been pretty good since. I have India and the draw. Exposed in England was one tenth away from clearing red then India lost a wicket going t9 let it ride this time as I want a big win. Have up three quarters of my green last week to ensure no loss an£ all round green. I was right to do that but it still gnarled! I am a gambler not a banker but was too exposed.

"In the UK, it's estimated that around 80% to 90% of "Indian" restaurants are actually owned and operated by people of Bangladeshi descent. These restaurants often serve dishes that are popular in Indian cuisine, but the owners and chefs are predominantly Bangladeshi. This phenomenon is rooted in the history of Bangladeshi sailors and cooks establishing restaurants in British port cities, which then expanded across the country

While the term "Indian restaurant" is commonly used, many of these establishments are a part of the British Bangladeshi culinary landscape. Some restaurants even explicitly highlight Bangladeshi dishes and specialties"

Googled that because I know the two I use round where we live are both Bangladeshi

You are right mes but the problem is that the real story gets consumed by the blind prejudice.

I don’t hear too many people asking why their kids cannot afford to rent or buy their own home

In America they are cutting the education budget. Man6 if their kids cannot read or write after leaving school

Look how many kids are dying in our streets

The conversation is not honest. It is being manipulated by people who understand and persue the dark arts. Journalists do not counter the lies or liars.

We have huge problems that need addressing in society. The questions are not even being asked

Very true Clyde

Curry is also an English invention …. Sauce……bread

curry is indian gravy...it is not english never has been never will be

Nah

Invented by manservant’s fir their English Army Officers!

Curry was invited as something to dip grandmas into

Curry,spicy sauce,developed to mask the smell,taste of the rotting meat.it made the meat last longer if soaked in curry.plus spices are readily available in India,Asia.

We trapped our rotting meat in pastry,pies.

They didn’t have fridges back in the day.

So educate me,it just seems logical.

Spicy comment. True though.

Nah

You are all wrong!

The proof is in the pudding

I shall go and find it!

*taps fingers*

He might still be on dail up,

Where is curry from,

India

No google,where is curry from but not India

India

Bing then.

Where is curry from,apart from India.

Asia,

You could say that the actual word ‘curry’ and versions of it that we know is an English invention.

Or British

Vindaloo is Portuguese... Or derived from

Don't mind a vindaloo from time to time. Was told that most Indians/Bangladeshi's only eat up to a Madras, it's only us UK nutters that like to push the boat.

I bet they don’t have a portion of chips with it..

They probably learned eating it with their fingers from the British invader though

On that point how rich that you have these people p1ssing and moaning about immigration when many of them come from countries that were exploited by the British whose only interest was thieving.

Or living in countries and enslaving the local population

Indians started putting potato in vindaloo as
aloo is word for potato, lol.

Vindaloo" is derived from the Portuguese word "Vinha De Alhos," which refers to the dish's two key ingredients, "Vinho" and "Alhos". Initially, it was a watery stew in Portugal cooked with pork or beef and vinegar and garlic. However, after the Portuguese moved to India, it was entirely transformed with the inclusion of spices and chillies, and it has since become one of the world's spiciest and most popular curry meals. As a result, Vindaloo is not as thick as a Korma, and it has less gravy than other curries. It also uses a lot of oil and Indian curry spices in its preparation, and because the vinegar and other flavours seep into the dish, it tastes even better the next day or two after it's been cooked. The dish's spice can be adjusted to taste by increasing or decreasing the amount of Indian curry spices used. However, it's important not to lose the vinegar flavour, as Vindaloo's distinct flavour comes solely from the vinegar. It's made with meat, pig, chicken, fish, and vegetables like brinjals, potatoes, and peas.

Because there was no wine vinegar in India, Franciscan priests made their own from palm wine. Tamarind, black pepper, cinnamon, cardamoms, and other regional seasonings were used. The most important addition was a legacy of Portugal's global empire: chilli peppers, which were imported from the Americas to India. Between 1797 and 1813, the British were thrilled to discover Indian cuisine that combined East and West and Christian Goans. They were eager to prepare beef and pork dishes popular with ex-pats, free of caste and religious restrictions. Vindaloo dishes in early British India cookbooks were true to the Goan original. However, when transported to England, the meal suffered the same fate as many other Indian curry spices: it became another hot curry. The sharpness of vinegar faded away with the practice of marinating the meat, and the balance of spices was lost beneath a searing overabundance of chiles. The varieties of Indian curry spices in Goa still incorporate cinnamon and cardamom that add earthy elegance to the dish and keep it from being too hot.

Yep, there's always a bit of potato in a Vindaloo, but never realised why until now. Makes sense (aloo) but pretty pointless with rice.

Good to see people doing their research

You will not find a Vindaloo made with either pork or beef in an “ Indian “ restaurant in Blighty! Except perhaps Ma Goa in  Putney which is not Bangladeshi!
