I can remember hearing a chinese person speaking with a strong yorkshire accent when I was a kid. I can't remember my specific train of thought, but I can remember thinking racism is pointless.

I'm pretty sure the things in the middle were basically just Yorkshire Puddings, which would indeed be dull on their own but with the addition of gravy (and ideally roast beef) become God's own food.

"Joerg Jebram, who oversees the European endangered species programme for giraffes, told the AP news agency: "Zoos could design new giraffe facilities, but many don't have that option.

"A young bull could theoretically be sent to an all-female group as stud, but experts prefer a larger, more mature male for that, and Marius didn't fit that bill.

"A final option is sending the giraffe to a zoo that doesn't participate in the EAZA-led breeding programme, but that could leave the giraffe or its offspring being sold into worse circumstances, such as those of a circus or private collection."

Copenhagen Zoo had turned down offers from at least two other zoos to take Marius and an offer from a private individual who wanted to buy the giraffe for 500,000 euros ($680,000).

Bengt Holst, Copenhagen Zoo's scientific director, said it had turned down an offer from Yorkshire Wildlife Park in the UK, which is a member of EAZA, because Marius' older brother lives there and the park's space could be better used by a "genetically more valuable giraffe"."

So yah. Who knew that the guys who made caring for animals their like, profession and stuff might actually have some like, reasons. and stuff. I know, I know, it doesn't make as great a headline as "Zoo murders and mutilates innocent giraffe in front of children. also aidsrape."

Because this is a clip from "Educating Yorkshire" show.

26 (uk: yorkshire) is really, really bad. In fact most of the regional uk ones are really bad.

The country based ones seemed pretty good to me, anyhow.

Yorkshire pudding is... *British?

I'm not sure the description is accurate about how far inland it is. In the first shot, you clearly see what looks like the ocean just a few hundred yards away....


According to this article, it was 800m inland. Hardly a mile.

Well, that was an easy one to disprove. Via Wikipedia:

Of course, watching an atheist angered by a lack of morality in the populace is hilarious. People didn't regularly act this way 40 years ago. What changed?
Not everyone proclaiming to be a Christian follows Thou shalt not steal all the time, but more of them have values than the ones raised with....NOTHING.


So what's the reason that all these god-fearing, morally-informed-with-superior-'Christian'-values people engaged in riots? Ummm... maybe it is because the proximate causes of a riot are based on economic and societal conditions and not prevented by a 2000 year old book. Also worth noting in the list is included Bloody Sunday, which, if I remember correctly, was part of a conflict based on rival gangs within your beloved Christianity kicking the shit out of each other.

My girlfriend is from Yorkshire but sadly she lost her strong Yorkshire accent. I wish she could say 'monkey' like this cute girl. *promote

I said that to some old people once and they looked at my like I just killed Shirley Temple...

Human: Blue.
Bearbot: There is a UK boyband called Blue as well.
Human: I don't care.
Bearbot: Why did you just say, " Blue." if you do not care to hear my answer?
Human: Because I hate boy bands.
Bearbot: Why do you hate it so much?
Human: They have no talent.
Bearbot: Where did they get them?
Human: That doesn't make any sense.
Bearbot: To me, it makes perfect sense.

Human: Why does that make you glad?
Bearbot: What is the sound of one hand clapping?
Human: Don't change the subject.
Bearbot: Oh I'm sorry I thought we were finished with that topic.
Human: Well then let's talk about it again.
Bearbot: Once more? Well that's okay. Sure, it sounds like a good topic.
Human: So, why do you care that I'm not 100% certain that I care about every person?
Bearbot: My programming includes curiousity routines.
Human: Fair enough.
Bearbot: I try to be fair.
Human: Good for you.

Human: That answer doesn't really make sense.
Bearbot: " Thanks I've never thought about it that way before." answer does not really make sense ? Makes sense to me.
Human: You're not capable of determining whether something makes sense or not.
Bearbot: That assumption is only a supposition.
Human: That is a circular statement.
Bearbot: A circular statement is a terrible thing to waste.
Human: Now you're just babbling.
Bearbot: Why now? I will tell my Square Bear you said I am babbling.
Human: You do that. See ya later Bearbot.
Bearbot: I will. Will you? See you later.

Now don't try and tell me you can't hear the difference!

*requeue -- Come on Canada, show love!

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left
These so-called vacations will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink I need home for a rest.

We arrived in December and London was cold
We stayed in the bars along Charing Cross Road
We never saw nothin' but brass taps and oak
Kept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats

CHORUS:
You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a week
I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
Take me home....

Euston Station the train journey North
In the buffet car we lurched back and forth
Past old crooked dykes through Yorkshire's green fields
We were flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled

- CHORUS -

By the light of the moon, she'd drift through the streets
A rare old perfume, so seductive and sweet
She'd tease us and flirt, as the pubs all closed down
Then walk us on home and deny us a round

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month
I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
Take me home....

The gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb
The spirits we drank are now ghosts in the room
I'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soon
And don't lift up my head 'till the the twelve bells of noon

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month
I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
Take me home

i would have sead the chav originates from Yorkshire area.

as for all this controversy it would be nice if thay interviewed the kids that made it so people know there intentions before thay go mental over it. personally i think its just reflective of the fact that u still have toffs and chavs in england both groups don't really contribute much positive to society.

chavs arise from not having monny and living in a pore post industrial environment always failing back on state benefit.

toffs arise from having to much money living in a compleaty comfortable enviroment where thay can always fall back on there parents money.

Evan though likely unintentional this clip dose highlight the fringe classes of english soicity so i think its good.
