God, it was from Grantham last night, it was as bad as Yorkshire. There seem to be a hella lot of shouty Tory wankers around these days.

weird thing is I drink with quite a few gammon types and usually find them perfectly amenable when they're shouting about scroungers et al in the pub

i think the crucial variable there is drink - helps wash down the more gristly cuts of gammon innit

I'm still not really sure what you're talking about but I'm guessing it's a kind of ranting ham-faced fuck?

I occasionally worked with someone who was in his late 30's but destined to be classic Gammon. He had a Range Rover, did dry stone walling, all types of groundworks and owned 2 Aberdeen Angus cows. He used to earn extra "going out killing things at night" and keep a photographic record of everything he shot on his phone, because he earned a bit from the National Trust for this. He was tea-total but had a very ruddy complexion from the amount of red meat he ate. He showed me his Xmas FB pic once of him posing with a severed deer's head with a "one of santa's reindeers is missing" caption. He was very funny tbh, but loved the Tories and racism.

oddly not tbh BG, he was very conventional and calm really. He just loved hunting and dry-stone stone walling!

I've just found an awesome website of UK after dinner comedians to make a poll with but it's too late on a Friday afternoon, will have to save it

God, it was from Grantham last night, it was as bad as Yorkshire. There seem to be a hella lot of shouty Tory wankers around these days.

There are 11 constituencies in Lincolnshire and 8 of those are Tory. wiki notes that “The rural part of the seat and the historical town of Stamford outweigh any Labour votes in Grantham and it is normally a safely Conservative seat.”

Before the boundaries were redrawn, they had never elected a single Labour MP. Looking at the electoral history, the seat got more BNP votes than UKIP in 2010, ugh.

the salacious inaudible (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Friday, 2 February 2018 21:23 (six years ago) link

I think he shot lots of foxes mainly, and said the NT paid him on a price work basis. He might have been making that bit up tho, and just loved shooting beasts. I didn't think of questioning his integrity, when you are out on the Marsden Moors and he's got a stonemason's hammer in his hand, you keep it polite!

calzino, Friday, 2 February 2018 22:03 (six years ago) link

Some men just enjoy hunting and killing things, I knew a guy whose Dad was like that - this was in Paisley mind you, not Idaho.

Well, this fellow used to hunt deers in Scotland for his holidays, that was like his equivalent of Ibiza or Newquay.
