jimmy, that's horrendous. Thanks for posting that and ruining my memories of Ruffell on his Ammoco mongoose. Those bunny hops and front hops were rubbish anyway...

finding out that one of your childhood heros is responsible for the heinous, divisive MOBOS. It's like finding out that Trevor Brooking is now working as a drag queen.
Ruffell can stick his half pipe up his arse! The Skyway riders were much classier anyway.

Served its purpose of highlighting the importance of black influence on popular music.
Probably should be retired or re-branded now.

Somebody who cuts hair for black people would generally do a shit job on a white person's barnet and vice versa.
Same goes for asian and oriental hair, they are very different and require different techniques and skills.
The MOBO's have always been a bit shit.
We all came from Africa in the beginning innit.

Massively racist as are black only hairdressers, but I find it more funny than offensive, as they would still be the first to play the race card as well the silly sods.

The MOWOS would be a massive humiliation for Caucasians. What have we created, exactly? Boring instrumental classical music, which pseuds only pretend to like because they think it's edifying, opera (god-awful shite) prog rock, heavy metal and punk.
Awful stuff.

" grand national - i've narrowed it down to a short list of thirteen "
" Wimbledon - hope Murray loses / come on Muzza / I fancy Sabine Lisicki / I fancy Ana Ivanovic / is this gay shit still going on "
" Glastonbury is just pop shit these days, I prefer iron maiden and metallica " .

Love seeing people cry about the MOBO's...
Because white people haven't had it good for the longest time by and large?

Crisps, immigrants, MOTD pundits, conspiracy theories and the latest paranoid "they're all out to get West Ham" scandal should be on that list, surely.

How do we mark the passage of time during a year on WHO, IN thread topics?
"Do you bother going out on NYE these days? It's expensive and shit"
"All the dopey birds in the office are going on about Valentine's Day. I'm glad my MISSUS thinks it's a load of shit, but then I buy her presents on other days instead, and I'm not just a cheapskate " (calling bullshit on that )
"All these plastic paddies make me sick on st Patrick's day"
"Why doesn't this country celebrate st George's day? No pride, unlike the Irish "
"It's flying ant day!"
"New season, manager's shit, we're in relegation form. We're all gonna die"
"Are the MOBOS racist?"
"Halloween, what a shit yank import" (it isn't a yank import, you morons)
"Isn't Christmas shit? "
