So, what about the introduction of my story...?
:-)
I thought you were taking the p!ss or something!
Sorry, my keyboard just cut out, I wrote the last paragraph of that post using the buttons on my mouse I have set to copy and paste (for when I write HTML). Hence the lameness of it.

I won the arguement!
Go me!

Yeah. In my old uni halls everyone else was welsh. Amongst my friends, they'd make fun at england, i'd make fun of wales. Nobody ever meant anything by it and nobody got hurt.

phi11ip,
I have deleted some of your posts in the 'Person Above Me' topic. They were of a racist nature and this is totally unacceptable.
If I see further posts from you of this nature then I will have no hesitation in terminating your membership here.

Sod that I though!

I'm not going to moan, but to say that I was being racist is a bit harsh...
I won't post anything like that again if people find it offensive but this is the only place I seen that someone can't take a joke like that...
99% of people will just laugh at a joke like that, Anne Robinson mentioned that she would like to put Wales into room 101. Most Welsh people saw the joke to it but a few got really insulted by it. If it really was racist she would have lost her job for such a remark on TV, but as most people saw the joke to it, it wasn't such a big deal...
Now we go into little things, is calling a person from Liverpool a scouser deemed racist? The joke that all scousers will mug you if they have the chance, is that racist?
It was a simple joke that is used by thousands of people and if someone had put it the other way and had aimed it at me, if I had laughed at it and taken the joke behind it would it still have been deemed racist?
Basically, 99% of people would just take the joke as there was no real personal insult behind it, he just took offence and therefore it made me racist...
It's not as iff I made a personal comment directed at his ethnic minority which was designed to purposefully hurt him. That WOULD have been racist...
I just amde a joke that everyone makes and he was one of the few that took offence to it...
Why did I write all that? I don't know, I've got a habit about going on about things...
I'm not arguing and I don't want to start a fight, I'm just getting my point accross to you...
Phillip (without the 11)

I'm waiting for his reply!
> Unless you have a pretty good tv I doubt it'd make a huge difference,
Mm ok. Just thought that'd i'd shell out for one if they were really good. Ah well. Thanks mind.
Introduction – Miss…?
It was late, past the witching hour, when the phone rang.
“hello…?”
“This is Inspector WhiteStripes. I’m afraid there’s been an… accident at your grandfathers mansion.”
“Oh God. You don’t mean…”
“I’m afraid so.”
“That old git wet the bed again?”
“What? No, he’s dead!”
“Oh. Right…”
Cooky got the next flight out and arrived at the family mansion.
“Ah, you must be Inspector Whitestripes?”
“Yes, and you must be Miss Cooky.”
“Miss? Look mate I’m no…”
Cooky stopped talking as he looked down. Something was there that had not been before. Well, two things to be exact.
“What the…? This can’t be happening!” Cooky shouted. Nothing happened. “Hello?!? I said, this can’t be happening! The Insanity effect is supposed to go away now!”
“erm… anyway Miss Cooky, your Grandfather was brutally murdered. We have no leads. And I’m off home to play my GameCube. But you’re welcome to stay in this haunted mansion built on the ruins of an ancient evil city and try to solve this case yourself.”
“Sod the murder, I’m gonna rummage through these ancient heirlooms. There’s gotta be something around here I can flog.”
Despite what Cooky had said, he (or she rather) headed for the nearest mirror as soon as Inspector Whitestripes departed and oogled her new found breasts. But after a couple of hours (well, once it got dark anyway) s/he decided to look around the mansion. After a bit of wandering Cooky discovered a secret room with a mysterious glowing book in it. So s/he began to read...
