  1. 2 in one day claxon


    I was watching the horse racing from aintree ahead of the national tmrw earlier (on recommendations from a friend) and I had a very small ew treble that included the first race.
    My horse fell halfway and took another one out on the way.
    The winner was so fucked it almost ran through the last fence broke it’s back on the landing (you could see both back legs go) and the jockey whipped it across the finish to win where it died.

    Don’t know where to start with that including myself but I would like to add it to this thread.

  3. Nothing disproportionate here, just simple animal cruelty for financial gain

  4. No, I'm good with that; having the rat dog as a warning gives you every opportunity to give them a wide berth.

  5. British people mispronouncing words like Americans.

  6. Tis the age we live in, my Son uses Americanisms often.
    Possibly due to him watching a lot of Yanks on YouTube when he was into gaming when much younger.

  7. Oh god yes, this boils my fkn pish!!! Not only mispronunciation but all their stupid catchphrases and the like: send it, I'm gonna go ahead and blah blah blah!!
    Oh and the reply to "how are you?" is "I'm fine thanks" not "I'm good"... maybe it's because I left the UK 30 years ago I've stagnated but still.....

  8. Our friends lad has taken on the young/ street talking /speaking patois (The term "patois" generally refers to a nonstandard form of language, often a regional dialect, creole, or vernacular, distinct from the standard, formal language, whilst often called broken English, it is considered a legitimate language with its own distinct grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary), approach to the English language with much amusement as he’s only just started to do it.
    It’s all ‘init’ and ‘brother’ sometimes shortened to simply ‘bro’ I guess if he’s in a rush.
    He’s from a good stable family and studying accountancy at university.
    I think he might mentally unstable.

    Hope this helps.

  9. Strange categorisation
     
  10. Isn’t it.
    Perhaps I should have phrased it as ‘street talking’
     
  11. Should there be another “/“ between “street” and “Muslim”? :bucktooth:
     
  12. What’s that got to do with a way of talking?
     
  13. the quote is what AI comes up with when "street Muslim" entered - nothing complicated here.
     
  14. Other than the change of context.
     
  15. no change of context whatsoever, it was AI generated, don't shoot the messenger.
     
  16. I can’t quote the post you made, as it’s been removed, but you said, “ it's convenient that i can blame AI for a change, on this occasion, for coming up with (part quote):-“

    The context of the original phrase is that it was used to describe a way of talking. Maybe if you’d used it in the original context AI would’ve come up with a different response, but seemingly not the one you’d wanted.
     
  17. You appeared to be suggesting you were happy with the response AI had provided, as it supported an anti-Muslim agenda.
     
  18. Literally LOL - there is no way on earth that you could come to that conclusion from my earlier posts, but i did sense that you might be a bit "prickly" about the subject by replying to a previous post by Carr01.. Notice i said "might" not to be confused with your stronger term "appeared to".
