Indian/Pakistani descent cricketers

[Plechazunga]

In fact, during the Headingley test in 95, it seems Blofeld got in trouble for referring on air to people watching the match from buildings outside the ground - ie not buying a ticket - as occupying the ‘Jewish seats’ (he apologised and was officially reprimanded).

 

[Spoony]

So is he a Jew(or a mormon)?

Sky should have him back.

 

[Plechazunga]

On the evidence I can glean from Google, I suspect he's a mormon Spoony

They all are...

 

[Spoony]

Bit gutted. Not enough Jewish sportsman.

Was thinking about it yesterday, and I think it's not because they're 'shit' as sports, but I think they're expected to go through the academic root, rather than concentrate on sport. Like the Chinese and Indian communities I guess.

 

[Plechazunga]

Well that's it

I remember telling my mum I was going camping, and her acting like I'd said I was going on a pig-fecking holiday in Bavaria

Sports = outdoor = not in the home and not using mind = bad

 

[Spoony]

No offense, but your mum was a bit mormonic on that issue.

 

[Plechazunga]

Yes...on that and many others

For a Jew, she can be a real Mormon at times

Kasparov...does that count as a sport?

 

[Spoony]

Depends on what you define as 'sport'. Surely it has to be a physical activity? I had an argument with a mate of mine who thinks tiddly winks is a sport, because it's competitive. I think he's a Mormon. Because you could make a sport out of anything.

Chess? I would so no.

 

[Plechazunga]

Chess is marginal...they actually work out in preparation, there does seem to be some massive physical effort involved, at a high level

But I agree...no. Tiddlywinks, can feck off...your mate is a practising Mormon

 

[Melbourne Red]

I've read his book and unless I was in an altered state of consciousness at the time, which I wasn't, or my memory has failed for possibly the 3rd time in my entire life, he's a yid.

He attributes his generously proportioned nose to it in fact.

And his name's bloody 'Blofeld' FFS.

 

[Plechazunga]

Hmm

But he's so posh

 

[Melbourne Red]

You're Jewish aren't you?

 

[Plechazunga]

Yes. I sound nothing like Blofeld

 

[Melbourne Red]

I didn't think it was possible to sound quite so plummy outside of a poor caricature on a bad American TV show.

 

[Plechazunga]

That's the thing. He's old school. There are Jews who've made money and sound quite plummy, but Blofeld's so posh he's virtually German.

BTW, does Law count as a sport?

 

[Melbourne Red]

Half Jewish, or of Jewish descent. He used the name 'Calthorpe', which comes from one of his parents, when he made his start in journalism.

 

[Slabber]

I have cousins in England, and they claim that they can't get into some local club's cricket side due to their colour.

that's racist

 

[Abbsta]

Some Asians feel that they have no chance getting through the system coupled with cultural expectation of their careers, results in them being almost invisible.

 

[Plechazunga]

that's racist

My colour never held me back despite the fact I regualrly participate in sports with traditionally very little interest from Asians (Rugby & Skiing for example)...

I once auditioned as Hamlet in a local production.

Apparently 'Hamlet wasn't supposed to be coloured'.

Racist cnuts.

 

[Plechazunga]

Fecking hell

That genuinely is racist

Notice they always cast a thin bloke as Hamlet, despite the play specifying that he is "fat and scant of breath". The critics also get themselves into a right mess trying to come up with all sorts of theories of textual errors and different things "fat" might have meant in Elizabethan times, just so they don't have to imagine the hero being fat.

I once saw a production of Romeo and Juliet in which Romeo, Montague and Capulet were all so fat that i decided the vendetta was over rival pie factories in verona, and this amused me so much that I got the giggles really badly and had to leave for about ten minutes.

 

[Melbourne Red]

I was taking the piss, I have little to no acting ability, and if I did I wouldn't be stupid enough to audition as a Danish bloke.

I saw a dwarf on telly not long ago, whinging about how dwarf actors never get the really meaty parts... like Lady MacBeth.

With scant regard for the fact that the birds who get those parts never get to play a dwarf...

 

[Plechazunga]

Methinks you protest too much though...you clearly have thespian ambitions

Melb wears tights everyone...like Giggsy

 

[nealn]

Pompous coconut.

Now that you mention it I get more of that kind of abuse from asians than I ever recieved from whites...

And on the rare occasions I have recieved rascist abuse from whites I've shrugged it off. When I get it form asians though it's quite annoying. Especially when the actual Indian born Indians I've met at uni aren't the ones who give me abuse, only the English born ones...

 

[Melbourne Red]

you clearly have thespian ambitions

But I'll never afford the operation
