"It may have been slightly racist, but it got the laugh..."

At a meal with my girlfriend, her parents, sisters, Auntie and Cousin, I may have made the suggestion that the Ferreria family from Eastenders is a sleeper cell...

Sounds about right...

We're like royalty round here.

The Ferrerias; everyone knows that your family consists of a pack of mangy, AIDS infected wild dogs from Harlow that subsist on a mixture of spittle and rancid honey.

Althoug that still puts them a cut above most Harlow families from what I've been told.

Heh. Being rather politically correct here aren't we Forest?

Mine or the Ferrerias?

Nope, middle class white.

Now it makes sense. Seems rather racist though. Is this family like Indian or Pakistani?

I suppose you had to be there.

And a huge racist, as I so obviously am.

That was one of, if not the worst joke I've ever heard.

And I've seen Bernard Manning do stand-up.

'Sleeper cell' is not a Tom Clancy game. It's the buzzword for a small group of terrorists hiding out until a signal is given to do something.

'The Ferrerias' are the boring, stereotypical Eastern/Asian family in boring Eastenders.

I can't believe I had to explain that one!
