Title: Banning stuff Post by: Doore on Monday, July 26, 2010, 11:01:39 As the ridiculous debate on the banning of the Burqa rages on, I thought it would be quite fun to have our own lively debate about what would be banned if you were some kind of lunatic omnipotent dictator.
In the kingdom of the lord almighty William Shears, the following would not be allowed: Text speak, and users of; Misspellings in brand names, e.g. "lite"; Skateboards, except for people under the age of 13; Plain English campaigns - long words and clever paragraphs separate the clever from the thick; Fussy eaters; People who say "hey" as a greeting; Sky Three; Male newsreaders; Camels; Coffee; Radiohead (it's not that I don't "get it" you moron, its just rubbish); The Antiques Roadshow; Y-fronts and speedos; "Male grooming" products. Having written all that, I have realised that this may be quite similar to the older and very successful "trivial things..." thread. Oh well.

Well for one thing as separators in a list introduced by a colon, as Billy Shears has wholly correctly demonstrated.Title: Re: Banning stuff Post by: Doore on Monday, July 26, 2010, 11:52:22 Billy Shears.

Title: Re: Banning stuff Post by: BrightonRed on Monday, July 26, 2010, 12:33:39 People who sing (almost exclusively very badly) out loud at high volume whilst walking down the street listening to their ipods. They always have a "I don't care what anyone thinks of me" look on their face when really I think it's hiding the fact that they're massively insecure.
The difficulty is that I don't want to hear your fucking shit singing you wanker. Banned. Title: Re: Banning stuff Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, July 26, 2010, 12:34:29 I'd ban Asda Walmart from serving me alcohol at gone 4am.

Also to add, anyone over the age of 60 should be banned from driving! Title: Re: Banning stuff Post by: Melksham Red on Wednesday, July 28, 2010, 06:51:41 Liberal Democrats

Title: Re: Banning stuff Post by: Colin Todd on Wednesday, July 28, 2010, 09:26:46 Um, we do this not to piss people off but to avoid being killed. How does taking up more of the road make you less likley to be killed? Title: Re: Banning stuff Post by: jayohaitchenn on Wednesday, July 28, 2010, 10:12:07 Operation human shield.

Isnt that the "put the blacks to the front line" policy of the US army in the south park movie? Title: Re: Banning stuff Post by: jayohaitchenn on Wednesday, July 28, 2010, 10:21:52 Yes but i was refering to keeping out of harms way by using your cycling mate as a decoy.

It actually means that bastard drivers can't try and overtake you and then squeeze you into a hedge/under their wheels. Title: Re: Banning stuff Post by: Saxondale on Wednesday, July 28, 2010, 10:52:17 Are we really going to do this cycling good drivers bad thing again? Ive got plenty to say about cyclists who listen to ipods , use phones, ignore red lights whilst cycling.

Title: Re: Banning stuff Post by: jayohaitchenn on Wednesday, July 28, 2010, 11:01:30 Ban Milton Keynes from having any sporting teams. That's not fair. Milton Keynes have a non-league football team that started from the bottom just like everyone else. They should be allowed to stay... ban Franchise by all means.

It actually means that bastard drivers can't try and overtake you and then squeeze you into a hedge/under their wheels. Yeah those selfish bastards trying to overtake a slower moving form of transport. How very dare they. Better make life as difficult as possible for them. Thats bound to make them feel like being more considerate to militant cyclists. Title: Re: Banning stuff Post by: Batch on Wednesday, July 28, 2010, 11:52:49 Ban Milton Keynes from having any sporting teams. Ban Milton Keynes: 1. Their grid system means directions sound more like a game of battleships. H4 Hit. 2. They come up with ghey ideas. Concrete cows. Calling their stadium "Stadium:MK" and such bollarrds. 3. Franchise. 4. Can't think of one redeeming feature of MK except the snowdome. And that would be a whole lot better when MK is nuked and the snowdome is moved to Swindon instead. -------------- Cyclists - cycling 2 abreast on a bust road is just mental. |
