Thread: polite society

Vending machine - your teasing might have worked if I had any affiliation to Yorkshire - I don't - I just happen to live there at the moment. Are tykes, coalmines and pigeons all you know about Yorkshire? Tell me if you can, is there any difference in the way Russian men treat women compared to English men?

Just see something through your eyes.

Did you mean divide?

I speak from me and about things I have seen through my eyes. It was mine f****n foreigner's HO.

Wow!!! What's up? Was the heaven fallen to the land? You just confirmed words of Гребеньщиков. Something happened and it is not your business. It is so comfortable position.

The words of Гребеньщиков are only a drop in a sea of other words I heard.

Of course I am! I even know who will be the next president of Russia.

A student at Dotheboyshall? I'm sorry, I ought to have realised.

I know about the beautiful city of York, its magnificent cathedral, the Jorvik Viking Center, the Yorkshire wolds, Ilkla Moor Baat 'At, Mr 'Erriet, Tristin and Siegfried Farnen, ee by gum, Yorkshire bitter, jam butties, put t'wood in t'ole and beautiful accents where they drop their jaws to the floor and keep them fixed in that position.

Better ask women, I suppose, but I would tend to think that we are less effeminate. Anyway, there's one rule that has always worked for me - treat ladies as if they were slags and treat slags as if they were ladies.

Yes, sure. And you would care. Bollocks. You know, there are kiddies out there in Africa starving, dying of AIDS, malaria, the lot. Do you care about them? I bet you do. Many people do, but that's not the same thing, know what I mean? What do we do about it? What does anybody do about it and similar things? Sweet f@@@ all. And why? Because that's the way life is. If I was to care about everything which goes on in the world I would've died 45 years ago of a broken heart and so would have everyone, mistah nurse f@@@@ nightingale... And this Grebyonshikov twat is a shrewd pragmatist, he sells his crap to people like you.

You know, BETEP, you seem to belong to that breed of people who won't accept that there can be different opinions about the same thing. But that's ok by me - enjoy the ignore.

i don't know what to make of you Vending Machine. You're funny. Is it intentional?? I'm not a student by the way. You're right about having to get on with life. if we really did feel concerned about the world's problems then we should individually do something. Of course some people do and I salute them for it but I merely read the newspaper and feel sympathy for those less fortunate than me and envy for those who are more fortunate BUT I don't beat myself up about it either way. You only have one life - live it the best way you can for yourself but be sensitive to the needs of others. Interesting attitude towards women. I hope someone else will have something to say on that.

It's so funny. You tried to beat my words and now you throw it in my face.

Oh god!!! It's so typical! If others have a problem they say every time that it's still better than in Russia. You shift the blame to the Africa. Good shot!
I didn't talk about Africa. I told about your country, born in the USSR. Where is your responsibility limit? May be in Petersburg only, or in the street you live, or inside the home door. What I have to take away from you to wake you up?

We have a lot of problems inside country and I don't stay aside. Here you are right.

I see, it's not a world problem but should you individually do something if somebody pisses at your door?

Oh, BETEP, you've really made my day, I laughed like drains reading your most recent post.

Typical? Typical of what? Typical of who? What problem? What is better than in Russia? A problem is better? What blame? Who am I blaming? I wasn't blaming anyone.

Are you capable of abstract thinking?

I knew it. Where exactly?

I wouldn't have anything to do with what goes on inside doors. Death watch beetles aren't really my scene.

Take? Are you a thief?

I understand that this is none of my business, but why would anyone pee on your doorstep? Do you live in a toilet?

Also, what you don't realise, if the poor girl who serves probably works about 26 hours a day.

When I was lived in Russia I went to a caf

Vending Machine is actually a Britisher from Sheffield masquerading as a Russian.
