Michael_3165 Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 Simple question... What do you love and dislike about your culture or nation? For me... Love: clapping when glasses are dropped, fry up on sunday morning at the cafe, helping each other in a crisis. Hate: Rampant racism in many parts... My dad's generation think it's their right to call people offensive names. The belief in some mythical empire that was back in the good ol days without acknowledging the hideous shit we did..

Paid Members Cod Eye Posted December 14, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 14, 2020 Hate: I think this applies for the vast majority of cultures these days, but the overly materialistic nature of modern society, and the urge to show it off at every opportunity. I went on Facebook to send a message to an old friend the other week, so decided to look at my timeline thing for the first time in donkeys, and amongst the random memes, requests to like a little boy was 1st degree burns to "heal" him and people flogging battered old kids clothes for £3, there was a post from a woman "saying how beautiful her kids new coats were(the kids just happened to be standing in front of her brand new Merc she'd been bragging about getting, another with photo's of her kids "loving out new buy-to-let property" and another her kids "thinking our new couch is great", while sat on said couch. It really fucks me off that sort of thing. We get new shit all the time, but have never thought about going on Facebook and rubbing everyone's noses in it. Imagine how it makes people feel that have lost their jobs and businesses this year, and these pricks are bragging about their "wealth"... Love: Celebrating 3 points at Hillsborough(for a change!)
Joe Blog Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Love: Only having to endure 3 more years here. Hate: Tories, Brexit, Right Wing, Weather, Schools, Weather, Tories, Brexit, Barlow, Corden, Tories, Weather.
Mr_Danger Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Love: The sausages are pretty decent. Loathe: The patriotism. It’s a thinly veiled guise for racism 9/10 times these days and what’s worse is it’s a fucking lottery. Your dad spunked up your mam on this island. Well done.
Paid Members Wretch Posted December 14, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 14, 2020 Love: gyppos calling each other out over YouTube
King Coconut Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Having emigrated nearly 20 years ago I can give you the correct answers for love: Back bacon, proper tea, all takeaways except kebabs, extra mature cheddar, 24 hour shops, Sunday shopping, the coast, country pubs and Greggs.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted December 14, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 14, 2020 Love - Nothing really. Hate - The sayings "Happy Out" and "Busy Out". Traditional Irish hey-diddley-aye bollocks Music. The weather. The people. The cost of living in an utter shithole like this country.
Pinc Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Like: the remarkably persistent hatred of the Tories even as the rest of the country steps right, the Sun boycott, the historicity of the football grounds and their presence in an otherwise residential part of town. Loathe: The aggression, the parochialism, how hard it is getting around the place without a car.
