Subject: RE: george orwell comment From: Backwoodsman Date: 25 Feb 19 - 07:29 AM I'm with you on the suet puddings, Morris Dancing, and traditional music Dave. Horse-racing is nothing more than an opportunity for a bunch of crooks to take a great deal of money out of the pockets of piss-heads and, in entertainment terms, is little better than that other waste of TV broadcasting-time, golf. And there's no question - I'm not intellectual enough! ;-) |
Subject: RE: george orwell comment From: Dave Hanson Date: 25 Feb 19 - 07:19 AM I'm with you Dave, when I was a young soldier I was looked down on and had the piss taken for displaying a bit more intelligence than the average squaddie. Dave H |
Subject: RE: george orwell comment From: Dave the Gnome Date: 25 Feb 19 - 07:03 AM I'm left wing and love suet puddings, Morris dancing and traditional music. Not sure about horse racing or why anyone would consider that particularly English though. Maybe I am just not intellectual enough. |
Subject: george orwell comment From: The Sandman Date: 25 Feb 19 - 06:58 AM England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own culture. In left wing circles it is always felt there is something slightly disgraceful about being an Englishman and that it is a duty to snigger at suet puddings, horse racing morris dancing and traditional music. it is a strange fact but most intellectuals would feel more ashamed of standing for god save the king than from stealing from the poor box
