I'm thinking it's more along the lines of George Michael's pubes.

Oh, different Norfolk.

Is Norfolk, England as big of a shiathole as Norfolk, VA?

It's the UK, the police are not allowed to violate the rights and dignity of criminals by arresting them. They can however hand out ASBOs to white, non-immigrant 5 year olds and WW2 veterans.

Norfolk everybody.

/Norfolk U.

Now that is a well constructed headline.

Yes - I've been to both the UK and US versions and they both suck like donkey balls infected with leprosy.

Designer stubble ? I have no trouble believing they're behind the times in Norfolk, it's just more 1880s than 1980s.

Tassach: Is Norfolk, England as big of a shiathole as Norfolk, VA?

It's not exactly a shiathole, it could be quite lovely if it wasn't filled with the most backward, reactionary, inbred halfwits you could ever hope (not to) meet. "Normal for Norfolk" as they say.

Well, it's one of the most rural counties in the country - make of that what you will. The Norfolk Broads and the North Norfolk Coast are very pretty though:

OK, so you're saying it's exactly like Norfolk, VA. Good to know.

Is it also like Norfolk Va in that they don't drink and they don't smoke Norfolk? Norfolk?

/Went to ODU, heard that all the time, still don't know where it's from.
 
2008-08-31 02:11:15 PM
ohhh. Disappointed. I thought designer stubble was the stubble webdevs get after a few 72 hour code-a-thons sans personal grooming.

God no. Cider, ale, and recreational drugs of the very highest quality (allegedly.)

CreepyBasementGuy: What the hell is a mobile?

Mobile phone.
Jesus wept, is it really that hard to work out ?

I've known some lovely people from Norfolk.


They're from there you notice, not going back.
 
2008-08-31 02:46:20 PM
May be they want to be like Crockett and Tubbs.

Then it's just like Norfolk VA. That's just the chant from there, drug use it pretty high. This probably works over there as well:

How many people from Norfolk does it take to change a lightbulb?

Three. One to change the lightbulb and two to figure out a way to get high off the old lightbulb.

An Apology. It has been brought to the editor's attention that some of our readers personally possess donkey balls infected with leprosy. It was not our intention to cause offence with our tastless comparison of the aforementioned scrofulous objects. Those responsible have been fired.

"iose facial hair"???

I think "Norfolk" is supposed to sound like "Nor fuk."

We don't drink and we don't smoke. Norfolk. Norfolk. I could be wrong, as I learned the cheer from a SeaLab episode.

Norfolk Constabulary has given all officers a "modern" behaviour guide and appearance code.

They are told to be "polite and courteous", dress "appropriately", and not keep their hands in their pockets.


This doesn't really strike me as modern. Politeness and courteousness have existed since nearly forever. "Appropriate" dress seems to be an umbrella under which old and conservative people hide their perceptions, while being an enormously subjective term. And hands in the pockets? That's just retarded, either way.

I am not really going to argue either way about the "inappropriate" tattoos (who decides?) and the piercings (I'm sure you could get them places technically not listed and make a case), but to file all this under "modern" seems a bit anachronistic.

/modern = of the times, contemporary

You sound like a whiny poof who probably believes that gender is negotiable.

Not sure where you're going with that in the slightest, but anyone who has delved at all into gender studies will tell you that gender is negotiable. Sex is more concrete.

But what does that have to do with my comments?

You're right, that was pretty much unwarranted and pointless ad hominem. Carry on.
