BrummieExpat Rank: Jasper	Best Chippie replied on: 1/11/2004 11:19:42 PM Plenty of expensive plonk as well, there's a restaurant not far from here run by 2 Belgian poofs (not that I've got anything against Belgian poofs so don't start) serving 360+ different beers as well as all the various local wines. But no chip shop chips, just to keep it on topic.

Sorry, I'm nit picking, you spell it how you like dear, I'm off to bed in a mo as I'm an hour ahead of you lot.

peakyblinder old hand Rank: Chinny	Best Chippie replied on: 1/12/2004 10:33:48 AM Re: "Peaky, get a grip for God's sake. You are making yourself look a prize prat now by continuing this pathetic Witch-hunt to find a racist bogeyman to bitch and complain about." Who said I'm looking for a racist bogeyman? I certainly didn't. You are getting your knickers in a bit of a twist, aren't you? (And it has not gone unnoticed that you have not answered any of my questions.) I'm merely using the recognised methods of CDA (Critical Discourse Analysis: see Fairclough, Kress and Hodge, Fowler, etc.) to point out the interested nature of your discourse. A person I know who shall remain nameless often refers to black people as 'coloureds', and doesn't see anything wrong with pointing out the ethnicity of bad drivers. Are you saying that I should remain quiet when he does this? I hope you are not teaching your daughter to be so submissive. Re: "Ask yourself this, if I am this big time racist that you seem to think I am why did I also list other chip shops that I frequent that are owned exclusively by people of Asian origin?" Again, I have at no point called you a big- time racist. I merely pointed out the way in which your use of language was suggestible and possibly even offensive to some members of the ethnically-diverse community in Birmingham. Re: "The chippy by the Ice Rink, the one in Bromsgrove, the one opposite the bowling alley are ALL Asian owned. You are probably going to go to these chippies now just to try and catch me out, but such is life, go for it you loser." If you think that only losers engage in reasoned argument and informed debate, then I prefer to be on the losing side. Re: "I think you are just a politically correct whiner who needs something to moan about just so you feel like you actually do fit into society. Sad, but true." Accusations of political correctness usually come from those with little intelligence and/or education, and little or no concept of the power of language. Again, I hope you are not teaching your daughter to be so ignorant and closed-minded. Re: "Plus you are the ONLY person who took the OP with a racist slant, not ONE other poster took it wrong apart from YOU. Speaks volumes about you that does my friend!" That's because this site is predominantly white, and white discourse has become the naturalized norm (i.e. it seems like the most obvious and unbiased discourse to adopt). It may also have something to do with the fact that I am probably the only forum contributor who is of Asian origin.
rotunda pants villa, but nice with it Rank: Ozzy	Best Chippie replied on: 1/12/2004 11:21:35 AM By the Blues ground, by the Victoria pub, there are two chippies next door to each other! Both are run by different people, and don't seem to offer anything different, yet they've both been open for years! They must be of similar quality, because the one that was better would've killed off the other one. Who opened up the second one? Did someone buy the premises, see the chippy next door, and say 'I know what this street needs! Another chip shop!'
BrummieExpat Rank: Jasper	Best Chippie replied on: 1/12/2004 2:32:51 PM It was probably the same person who decided Brum needed 5 Clintons cards, 4 McDonalds and 3 HMVs all within walking distance.
racheymaus old hand Rank: Chinny	Best Chippie replied on: 1/12/2004 4:41:52 PM Woman doctor. People say it all the time. Doesn't prove sexism, but it says something about assumptions.
Gravy Hole Rank: Oddie	Best Chippie replied on: 1/12/2004 4:54:40 PM quote: Woman doctor. People say it all the time. Doesn't prove sexism, but it says something about assumptions. Woman driver! People (men) say it all the time. Doesn't prove sexism, but it says something about women's spacial awareness or lack thereof.
racheymaus old hand Rank: Chinny	Best Chippie replied on: 1/12/2004 4:59:59 PM I have ovaries and a uterus. Maybe that's why I can spell "spatial". Or did you mean "special". Do I need point out that statistically more car accidents originate with testicle owners? Oops, I appear to have shrivelled up into a parody of humanity.
Gravy Hole Rank: Oddie	Best Chippie replied on: 1/12/2004 6:08:07 PM Testes means men can't spel. Women do have "special awareness", like how they can tell when their fella has been to the pub and not at working overtime. They do not have as much "spatial awareness" as men, as scientifically proven by a branch of eugenics in which I hold a particular interest. I too have a uterus, it was grafted onto my chest so I can better pretend to be a kangaroo.
rotunda pants villa, but nice with it Rank: Ozzy	Best Chippie replied on: 1/13/2004 8:37:53 AM I used to live in Erdington, but I don't remember any chippy where they grafted a uterus on to my chest.(See how I got the thread back to it's original topic? Clever,eh?) And to be a pedant, the kangaroo's pouch isn't its uterus. Not that it matters. Don't know why I mentioned it.
BrummieExpat Rank: Jasper This message was updated on 1/13/2004 10:12:04 PM by BrummieExpat	Best Chippie replied on: 1/13/2004 11:52:59 AM You can get kangeroo meat over here from the supermarkets, if we had chippies over here you could bet some bugger would batter and deep fry it. You'd feel like a bit of a twat ordering kangeroo and chips though. (see, still on topic and off at the same time, genius)
Gravy Hole Rank: Oddie	Best Chippie replied on: 1/13/2004 12:20:13 PM Knowing the French, it would be kangaroo's uterus and chips.
liquorlicence likes beer and blues Rank: Chinny	Best Chippie replied on: 1/13/2004 1:30:36 PM There's a chippie in the City Centre from where a friend of mine purchased a bag of chips and found a human tooth in amongst them. I cannot name the place for legal reasons, but you'll be pleased to know that it has new owners. I'm not sure whether they're Asian or Greek, as I haven't been in there since.
