A CZECH-BORN woman has been found guilty of racially abusing her New Zealand-born neighbour by calling her a "stupid, fat Australian".

The Daily Mail reports that the row started after New Zealander Chelsea O'Reilly called the police following a fight between her neighbour Petra Mills and her husband in Macclesfield, England.

"She called me a stupid, fat Australian b****. Because of my accent there can be some confusion over my nationality. She knew I was from New Zealand. She was trying to be offensive. I was really insulted. She said she would kill my dog. Bizarrely she then blew raspberries at me like a child."

From the iGents at "Put This On" - http://putthison.com/post/37338610288/december-fair-isle-december-is-one-of-the-last

"December is one of the last months you can best wear Fair Isle. They’re not holiday sweaters, but there’s something holiday feeling about them, and while they look great in the fall, I think they look best in the winter. You can stretch them out to maybe about January, but past that, they start to lose their appeal."

It's cold in the Orkneys and Shetlands right through until April. Yet these morons think that they lose their appeal in January. Obviously "Derek" has never set foot on those rugged and exposed islands.

Then the moron plugs "Ivy" brands that sell over-priced fakes (from the usual crap "Ivy" suspects) that are made in China and the Far East. And the stupid iGent bloggers wonder why genuine artisans are struggling!!

^^ Very true. My rule is buy and wear what you like when you like - not what or when others tell you to. It is, however, reasonable to offer personal opinions on quality and service for the benefit of others.

Attack of the White Knight.

I hope you can appreciate that decent adults and gentlemen simply don't conduct themselves in the manner that you two have today which is much akin to that of a bully. I trust that your statement is simply a slip of character and I will brush it off as such. If you compare the snide and ill-mannered speech seen today as compared to that which you most likely espouse normally, and that which you would wish to imbue in a child or would wish someone to turn towards you, the comparison is not even needing of deep explanation.

I have had many brilliant professors over the years, and some of them only like to lecture, and detest seminars; some other brilliant thinkers relish conducting seminars with students. I don't know in which class you fall, and of course some people like both formats, but I must say that this forum is much more like a seminar than a lecture. With this type of format comes the reality that people of all stripes, qualifications and qualities will participate. If you don't like what people say, I might suggest that those who desire so can simply ignore it as long as the commentary is courteous. I hope that this, our first direct interaction has not left you with a sour taste in your mouth, as it certainly has not left me with a sour taste in mine. I look forward to engaging with you in the future.

Doesn't he have access to the bathroom mirror?

Does Mr. Garrulus, the stroller guy, account for the apparent severe yellowing of that collar?  I'm all for a bit of wear on clothing, but that level of dinginess is really beyond the pale.

/\  Wise words, Sammy.

If one was to ever 'break wind' whilst wearing one's trousers (not an option I would ever sanction), just think of all the micro faecal elements that one would infuse the material with, let alone anything worse.
