Nothing that a spot of Old Spice can't hide, drives the ladies wild as well. :cool:

 

 

So now we know: Webbo was the 6th Spice Girl: Posh, Ginger, Baby, Sporty, Scary and Old Spice.

"If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my incontinence pads..."

Bo Didley would be BD.

 

Just saying. :)

 

Unless you were just referring to his first name;

His real name was Ellas  Bates but he used Bo diddley as his stage name :) x

Having been a child who pissed up the kitchen wall I think Webbo's more P. Diddy.

"Snow White and her 7 friends" sounds vaguely pornographic.

 

Maybe De Montfort Hall is trying to attract a different target audience? Now they've cancelled Summer Sundae, their prices & listings suggest that they mainly cater for super-rich 80-year-old Express readers.

 

Maybe they're hoping to widen their customer base by attracting a seedier crowd?

Have to agree one of the nursery's my kids went to had to learn baa baa ethnic sheep because black was racist x 

 

Referring to the colour of somebody's skin is only racist if it is used pejoratively.

Does seem a bit OTT. Black is a colour and just a word. I am assuming that there are actually sheep that are in the colour black and hey produce black wool. The rhyme also helps with counting. Do sheep have ethnic differences? It is misleading.

Seven friends sounds a bit iffy. It could mean anything. As the story is fantasy as in a fairy tale sense dwarfs are not uncommon.

Like elves giants and talking wolves. 

I'm wondering if this may be more to do with the writer putting a different interpretation on the story or they could not find seven dwarfish actors. Whatever the reason I am sure it is not widespread or laid down in law so we can still call  height challenged people dwarfs and black coloured sheep err black sheep.

I agree with you and Steven and taught my kids way we learned it xx

Coming Soon: The Sister doing it for herself and the seven vertically challenged men.

 

 

That sounds even more pornographic than the original title.

 

Female masturbation and a mass outbreak of Brewer's Droop....very niche.

Would they have to change their names too?

 

Sneezy=work shy

Happy=Gay

 

Just two of them. Any more?

 

 

They could be a bit short ( :ph34r:)....

 

- Dopey's detoxing in the Priory

- Bashful is on an assertiveness training course

- Grumpy is undergoing assessment for the autism spectrum

- Sleepy's in rehab, addicted to sleeping tablets

- Doc's up on a charge related to Munchhausen's Syndrome by Proxy

Are you allowed to say mixed race?

A bloke at work had a go at me before when I used the word half cast.

Mixed race is how we describe our kids. Bi-racial is probably another term we might possibly use.

Half cast has somewhat negative connotations, so we wouldn't use that.

I am mixed race. Half cast is definitely used in a more negative manner and would be slightly offensive to me. But then again seeing as i am mixed race ive learned to let people be silly and take no notice of their ignorance.

Btw it should be ba ba black sheep.
