    Actually I'm waiting for his songs to come out in case he stole some of my lyrics, I wrote in another thread, if he don't pay ill sue his geriatric arse for a fortune. I'm going to be mint for a bit.
    Newspapers don't carry news they carry crap. I have no wish to know about has beens or their lives thats all the papers seem to print. She's having a baby, he's going on holidays, the trendiest couple in town, I mean who reads and cares about that sh!t anyway.
    Oh and for the record I dare me everyday. Because basically i'm great.

    Did you hear Ian Brown's new song, it's quite good.

    At the end he has the voice of a psychopath...

    A simple example appeared on Liveline this week.

    A number of letters were issued to sufferers of cervical cancer.

    Apparently, there are people out there that are offended by the use of the word "woman" or "women" when addressing cervical cancer patients, they would rather that they were addressed as "people with cervixes".

    I'll let you try and figure out the people in question.

    Another few examples

    Penny Lane, the name of the street in the beatles song is now thought to be racist by some.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-merseyside-52992669

    A well know youtuber was chastised by youtube for using language that was thought to be racially offensive

    Can somebody help me out here? AH is about taking the p!ss out of each other, so how can people get serious and annoyed over it. A lot if the other forums have serious issue discussions. But anybody posting on AH shouldn't get annoyed or irked, they should enjoy the banter between like minded posters. Am I right or wrong?

    Used to be, K. Then we had "the incident".

    Distraction technique, same people as pre-banking crash have all the money and are still raking it in.

    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/aug/03/billionaires-pandemic-giving-super-rich
    On 4 August 2010, the first group of billionaires announced their intention to give away over half their wealth to charity. Over the last decade, they’ve been joined by many more.

    A decade later, however, two obvious problems have emerged.

    First, billionaire wealth has expanded at a phenomenal rate. Of the 62 living Pledgers who were billionaires in 2010, their personal wealth has increased by 95%, from $376bn to $734bn in 2020 dollars.

    They’d pledged to give away half. Instead, their wealth has nearly doubled.
    And they have gotten a lot richer since then.
