  • MrsE, I've dropped you a pm, as I believe you haven't purposely set out to offend people here. I believe you don't know what it is you've said that some people find offensive and crass. If you want to post the PM to the thread, feel free.


    I am now out of this discussion.

  • What I see there is a bad poem...

    Enough already! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    It's nothing but a harmless and tongue-in-cheek little mick take of the, as I assumed, well-known traditonal folk song "The Company Store", better known as "Sixteen Tons", as sung by Johnny Cash and many others.

    Goes:
    Some people say a man is made outta mud
    A poor man’s made outta muscle and blood
    Muscle and blood and skin and bones
    A mind that’s a-weak and a back that’s strong

    CHORUS
    You load sixteen tons, what do you get
    Another day older and deeper in debt
    Saint Peter don’t you call me ’cause I can’t go
    I owe my soul to the company store


    I was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine
    I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
    I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
    And the straw boss said “Well, a-bless my soul”

    CHORUS

    I was born one mornin’, it was drizzlin’ rain
    Fightin’ and trouble are my middle name
    I was raised in the canebrake by an ol’ mama lion
    Cain’t no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

    CHORUS

    If you see me comin’, better step aside
    A lotta men didn’t, a lotta men died
    One fist of iron, the other of steel
    If the right one don’t a-get you
    Then the left one will

    CHORUS

    I did not ask or expect anyone to stand in shock and awe of me & it was a silly comment, he then when on & on posting jibes, when I dared defend myself you jumped in with............

    Considering his grasp of the English language is better than yours, I don't see how you can call him a chav or a low life. He seems far better educated than you, my friend. We won't even begin to discuss the fact that he can speak more languages than you. Your definition of "thug" seems to cover anyone who disagrees with you.

    You are exactly the type of person I was referring to in my earlier post. You're a supermarket snob who looks down on people who choose to shop more wisely. When you can't handle the debate, you resort to childish ad hominem remarks (such as calling Schamansky a chav/low-life/thug). You think that adding a winking smiley somehow justifies your immature insults. You throw insults at people, then claim to be the one being victimised. You, my dear, are the rude one here. You're also a marketing team's dream. (That's not a compliment, by the way). You know what they say about a fool and his money, right? Why are you a member of MSE?

    Incidentally, don't be surprised if you find your car clamped in Aldi's car park. They're cracking down on people abusing their car parks. Oh, the humiliation of it....your car clamped outside Aldi!

    You both jumped on & quoted my posts.

    Hmmmmm. Have you been shopping in Aldi to pick up language like that?! :p

    Jokes & humour are not allowed on this thread, haven't you seen how I've been jumped on.
    I wouldn't bother trying to lighten it if I were you.
  • :o Use of inappropriate humour. Consider me scolded.

    You know us chavs, just don't know how to behave :p
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    I've said NOTHING offensive and crass, but have been taken a lot of flack.

    Is that your attempt at excusing your jumping on the Schamansky insult wagon? WITHOUT actually reading the posts properly first?
  • You don't mess around with the ALDI gang. :rolleyes:

    And it's Flak. Flugabwehrkanone (anti-aircraft gun).

    Do you want this to carry on, MrsE? If so, I will. The only thing I've attempted to make excuses for was you. Had you actually bothered to read my last post, you'd see that. I've read all the posts properly, including the ones from posters who were downright rude about people who choose to shop and Aldi/Lidl/Netto - posters you thanked in other posts. Apparently, you have not been reading the posts properly (hence why you still assumed I was male even after I posted that I wasn't, and why you failed to see Schamansky was not having a dig at you, but was merely altering a song for a laugh).


    Are you sure you still want this to carry on? I said I wasn't posting to this thread again. Seems you failed to read that too.

    OHHHHHHHHH

    So because I thanked a poster in a non-rude post, IF they make a rude post & I don't thank them (as I didn't) I'm still associated with it???

    !!!!!! are you on:rolleyes:
