Yeah

I post their web page to fair to them. I provided my feedback and now people have chance to listen to you, to me and still check out the place. What is wrong with that?

diaspora! Too many Chiefs and Very Few Indians.

To be fair to them. If its true that you have knowledge or experience of this place you will know its a S--t hole.

I admit the web page is impessive which would lead others into the trap like me of paying a deposit and like me on arrival would not stay and also like me not get their deposit back or is it best to say nothing and let people find out for themselfs by checking it out when they get there. By then its to late.

I thought that place shut down a few years back certainly looked deserted in April.
Question
Why would anyone book from a website that doesnt even show the accomodation?

I find it shocking that you support that foul mouthed tirade from Turk. It is disgusting language and attitude.

I presume the women couldnt afford first class, like most of us!!!

Bev, i was also very surprised to see someone could think of it as hilariously funny - but then, it takes all kinds of people.......

Unfortunately i have to admit: babies of whatever colour make me very nervous when they are crying endlessly in the plane. I don't blame the baby, but i blame the parent(s): read to the baby, feed it, play with it, take it on your lap and sing a song in its ear - whatever you do, make it STOP CRYING! Who knows, i might have been that 'white old b....', or 'the white f.... old granny' - oh no, can't be - i'm not British ;-)

Furthermore, i thought the Princess's remark about booking the accommodation rather apt: no photos of the rooms were shown, so i would never book that place.
Formby: WIN??? LMAO: is it as bad as i think it is?

bev/anna

Are you reading what I am writing? I said "I just wanted to be little sarcastic". I did not mean what I said.

I would never use such language. What I did was to demonstrate how disgusting language/attitude when you add the colour 'WHITE' in the context when you are making negative statements. Read below ignoring the strikethrough text and compare with the original statement. How different!

Much different. The lady's whiteness, ethnicity has nothing to do with her behaviour and 'blackness' had nothing to do with being intimidating.


Bev, herself stated same that the colour refering race may have used to describe someone. It is totally different context when you are describing someone, or associating something bad with the race/colour.

It is different to say 'stupid african child' than 'stupid child'. Don't you get the point.

Yeah sure. Parents usually has some kind of sick pleasure when their baby cries non-stop. They also like to torture other passengers. It is not emberrasing for the parent when their baby cries and bothers others. They usually encourage their babies to cry in the planes.

Turk, i can read - don't worry. And ESPECIALLY as a sarcastic statement to clarify your objection to the word 'black' in Snuggels' posting, it was not very succesful and not funny at all.
Now, reading it again trying to ignore the word 'white' i can only see an incoherent and vulgar message where you invite passengers to 'kiss your az..(??? never mind) as if that would be someone's wildest dream.
By the way, i object to your use of the word 'old' when you describe a person of around 60. It is discriminative.

Hmmm. Interesting, 'black youth' is not offensive but 'old lady' is offensive. And you are absolutely right, 'old' in the context I was using was kinda inappropriate. Can you see the parallelism between my 'black' and your 'old'? You don't even realize that but you actually agree with me.

Sarcasm. Yes, even more of it.

The thing is about babies, they do cry on flights. Especially when taking off or landing, when ear pressure can be very painful. They usually calm down and sleep but if they don't, well, I find earplugs and several large gin and tonics do the trick (for me, not them)

Now this gets even funnier
Shocked at the words a** now I am laughing mine off

Get a grip this is the 21st century take your heads out of your Mills and Boon wonderlands and see the world for what it is.

People use foul language in all walks of life in all different contexts and all different countries.

Bev as for you and your claim of working with SEN kids if your telling me you never hear expletives uttered from the pupils I'm truly shocked Can I now join your posse?

FYI actually was laughing at the whole thread and no Anna I tend to do my homework before I travel I work hard for my cash I like to know exactly where and what I'm getting for it.

Turk Id give up the whole point of your thread went whistling on by some I'm sure got it others hmmmmmmmmm


60 is old no two ways about it, hey there are benefits as well as life experience and in some cases wisdom in the UK you get free travel and subsides meals.
Just as 20 is young its a fact what is the big obsession with clinging on to a word ??

What is so wrong with being old?
Ive enjoyed my life, am still enjoying it and hopefully will continue to do so, I wouldn't want to go back to my 20s and ive earned every grey hair on my head!

Embrace your years denying them just smacks desperation.

Although you don't have to be 60 to be a granny I know a really glamorous one at 45.


(Now sitting back waiting for the 'you hate old woman' brigade to appear)

Hiz
I agree yes its nice to have pictures of the places where you would possbly stay but as has been seen many times you cant even trust that.
So every time you pays ya money you takes your chance.
Some you win some you lose so with the best intetions you warn otheres accordingly

As far as turk is conserned I think he has truly nailed his colours to the mast as being a bigoted racist.
I dont think his comments were funny or sarcastic.
Just imagine if the following had been a white guy saying the same things about back people. All hell would have been let lose by our black friends on bantaba and rightfully so.
"I did not expect anything different from someone a BLACK person like you anyway. That BLACK old b... had no good intensions either. She was AFRICAN/BLACK that is why. That BLACK f... old granny is no different from other BLACK passangers anyway. They can all kiss my EUROPEAN/WHITE/ az.."
How many of our black friends think thats funny or sarcastic hummm
