Ah yes, Woke. Whereas once, the miserable, conservative leaning old farts used to call folk ‘liberal’ like it was some sort of insult, they’ve learned a new word…

It’s odd isn’t it, I hear middle aged folk use the word, mostly incorrectly, more than anyone else…anyone would think they’re obsessed or something.

Anyway, I’d put the spliff down and give yourself a break…


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

Quoted from IlkleyMariner
Just tuned into BBC radio 5 for their one hour program about the National Football League

Yes that’s the British Broadcasting Corporation
Or used to be. Remember the one we pay or Licence fee of over £150 to get British news and entertainment

I don’t like their WOKE stuff or bias but hopefully we would learn about Wrexham latest money fiascos. But no

Turns out it’s about the American equivalent of rugby league

What can we do to stop our almost 100 year old broadcasting company destroying itself before the electorate declares it irrelevant


You're so right Ilkley. Even worse, a few months ago they had programmes on all month about some bicycle race in FRANCE! And that's when they failed to report on any of the important polo and croquet tournaments taking place in dear old Blighty.disgraceful

I think most of them use it to describe things they can’t get their head round. It’s wide ranging word covering everything from not understanding people’s wishes for racial equality to radio programmes not being the subject matter that you *think* they are.

Rapidly (and predictively) turning into non footy.

Mods ?  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

It wasn't even football in the first place thanks to the loony lefties at the Beeb.

Blame the BBC for adults not being able to read.

Of course those who love American sport are entitled to enjoy it, but I have no interest in it at all; and i would think that applies to the large majority of people. What annoys me is, how many questions on the Chase, Tipping Point etc, are on American sport.

I think there is a sizeable minority that have some interest in at least one American sport. I've been following and watching the NFL since 1982 and the MLB (Baseball) since 1998. Both these sports have regular season games in the UK and sell out large stadiums. I like to watch the NHL (Ice Hockey) when I see it's on telly but I'm not an avid follower and I can't stand the NBA (Basketball). I know there are number of posters on here who enjoy American sports.


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery

Quiz shows put some niche questions in to catch people out and prevent them winning the prizes. Them bloody wokes again.

Is it really too much to just have an old fashioned English quiz, with English people and all questions exclusively about things that have happened in England? I watched Pointless the other day and they had a question about American Presidents FFS!
