North and South BCG divide Page 7

I'm guessing you are a Northerner, in which case you stand in danger of undermining your own argument.

Who? Me?

How am I?

I was just pointing out a fact.

I'm from the south and I frankly think we've been giving food, medical and cultural aid to the impoverished north for far to long.
I say we should send our aid to America where the diseased masses truly need our help.

That is a very fair post although I will add that some people may think that there are more twats in the South from Reading

I didn't read the rest of your post, but you are spot on.

Definitely.

That is a very fair post although I will add that some people may think that there are more twats in the South from reading this thread simply because every twattish post in here has been made by a Southerner.

Oh and yes like I have said before, Aaron seems to be a comedy stereotype of a Southerner.

Probably the truest post in this entire thread. also another brilliant northern name.

Definitely.

I am loving the unity this thread seems to have eventually created between the north and south I feel I've become a Jeremy Kyle type figure for BCG

Looking at a map Ottawa is south-west of the UK. Iz be a southenah!

Yay! You're on my team. :)

The reason I created this thread was to find out what the souterners on BCG (which I would guess is about seventy percent of BCGers) thought about northerners, hence this sort of oppinion does make it clear- though I do think you perfectly fit the type of bean burger and homus eating southerner I have often encountered.

Laughing out loud Laughing out loud

All this thread proves is that some people have no sense of humour.

No need to be quite so harsh on yourself.

I think you're getting jealousy confused with pity and contempt.

Do you honestly think that was witty?

I was just wondering if there were many people of Northern origin on this forum. This is honestly not a complaint however there does seem to be quite southern vibe e.g a lot of my comments are dwelled upon for the spelling inaccuracy rather than their insightful brilliance, and this neuroticism seems like quite a southern trait (a fairly endearing one).
I know this is quite trodden ground but I am quite curious to know if any of your southern people are actually prejudice against northerners- I had a friend from Ipswich who turned on me when she realised I was from Manchester.

Does my spelling make me an honorary northener?

simply because every twattish post in here has been made by a Southerner.

The ironic-ness about this whole debate is that the North-South divide is continually perpetuated by Northerners due to their inferiority complexes.

The shocking truth is that Londoners are far too busy thinking about themselves and shit that they've got to do and they really can't spare the time to worry about Northerners.

So take that chip off your shoulder, dip it in gravy and carry on with your lives. Now can we get back to hating the Scotch, who not only root for Germany when they play England but let terrorists out of jail to have heroic receptions.

I dunno atleast we don't have to pay for his drugs or his funeral.

let terrorists out of jail to have heroic receptions.

An aspect of this story that has been missed is the outrage in Libya after the released Bulgarian nurses returned home to a similar heroes welcome, despite similar assurances about sensitivity by the Bulgarian government as those given by the Libyan government in this instance.

Rightly or wrongly popular opinion in Libya is that the Bulgarian nurses are guilty and al-Megrahi is innocent. All this posturing by western politicians, playing to the gallery at home, is just further alienating popular opinion in the moslem world.

And who really gives a f**k about what they think about us? I surely don't.
