There is a post in this thread about the ASDA Driver who carried 14 carrier bags up a narrow lane from one end to the other because of some made up health and safety rules. when according to the local store, they didn’t tell the driver anything of the sort.
Next time you decide to order from Asda let me know if the driver does it again
newmercman:
You should ring the store & sing the blokes praises, tell them that you were really impressed with him & that you would like him to deliver all your stuff, then order as many bags of spuds & 3ltr bottles of water as you can afford, get your video camera ready & put it up on youtube so we can all have a laugh

‘… ming ■■■■ thick …’Perhaps consider an edit?
(■■■■ = a diminutive of Mongoloid = Downs Syndrome: Potentially offensive?)
in your world keith, in my world it means he is a thick zb
In the real & knowledgeable world such language is considered offensive - so suit yourself but don’t shoot the messenger, fella.
I don’t make it up since being advised of the facts surrounding the word ‘■■■■’ a few years ago. That aside, I love seeing folk expose their ignorance/arrogance so crack-on - or ask Jessica if she’d like to hear it if she presented you with a Downs grandchild…

As the condition you are describing HK is a cognitive disorder, do you not think that you are pointing your artillery in the wrong direction.
Should you not be spitting venom towards Dr Down who first described the East Asian Mongol as a medical condition?
Myself and my Grandma worked very hard for the Spastics Society and the family were proud of our efforts, she used me as a role model for other Spastics. Me doing tricks on my fixed wheel adult trike, her with her collection boxes, coffee mornings and jumble sales. However the do-gooders got involved and condemned the word ■■■■■■■ as politically incorrect. ■■■■■■■ comes from a Greek word for drawing in, or spasm, “involuntary muscle contractions”. Rather than Cerebral Palsy the condition of the central nervous system would be better described as Spasticity or muscular hypertonicity. What does SCOPE describe
So I would suggest mongoloid describes a person born in East Asia. Downs is a medical condition unrelated to this thread.
In parts of the world, ■■■■ is short for mongrel, a stupid dog.
monged is slang for inebriated,
and gammy is an Irish word for crooked, which describes my limbs perfectly as malfunctioning, injured, or simply lame.

Eh? Venom? …and no, I have no idea - and care less - of that alleged individual or what their supposed medical knowledge (mis?) diagnosed.
…and give up shooting this messenger who is laughing his parts off at buffoons whilst others of a more sensitive nature viewing this public forum might get offended.

Aah, so the originator of the disputed word meant that the Asda driver was a stupid as a drunk dog? Pull the other one - the bloke was using a word that he thought was amusing but which some (not me) find offensive.
