Enoughs enough.

[Diving Dude]

As the title says, enoughs enough.

Anyone remember Jay's thread about being fed up with anyone and everyone taking the piss because of Si's picture ? he was called Scubagay for a while and after a while it really pissed him off, well now it's my turn.

The first time someone called me Diving Dud was funny, so was being was called a Pikey, but now every Tom Dick and Harry thinks they know me well enough to do it and it's getting very boring.
Along with anything to do with being overweight, they all think, Oh Howards a laugh (as most people do with overweight people, why is this?)he won't mind if we rip the piss because he's overweight, this may have been funny 30 years ago, but not any more.
Same as when l was a RB newbie, a certain Direr was my instructors safety diver and obviously my buoyancy was crap, it was a mod 1 course, well the times l've had to indure the 'crap buoyancy/ kicking up silt' shite is unbelievable.



Another one is the age thing. Again it was funny the first time someone said l was 50. This was a couple of years ago, but FFS every few months it's the usual crap, "it's the Dud's 50th birthday again" how boring and unimaginative.

Maybe l'm being sensitive, but that what happens when being in the building trade, as l have been since l left school 33 years ago, you get regarded as a second, or even third class citizen.

Or it could just be the scotch and l'll be a happy bunny in the morning so you can all have fun with the usual highly original fat Pikey builder stuff.


EDIT

Read a few pages, then go to post 64

We've all been warned. Fair comment, if it seriously causes the sh!ts, and it looks like it is doing, then people should refrain. Mind you Howard, regarding the Dud thing, your YD handle doesn't help.

I can certainly sympathise though, having lived in Aus for 20 yrs but still with a trace of M/cr accent, I still get called a Pommy C**t on occasion; I took it all the time from everyone from the CSM down when I was in Army Reserve, to some extent, it's a sign of acceptance. I'll take it in fun from my mates but I don't much like it from people who hardly know me but even then, it's now starting to wear a bit thin.

That wasn't an invitation by the way.

Hopefully you'll freeze to death. I did say "this isn't an invitation".

Sorry Richard but only a hint of a manc accent after 20 years. Shocking state of affairs. You need to watch a bit of shameless to get you away from that aussie whine they call an accent.

Hope you are supporting india in the cricket .

I watch Shameless and cringe - too many bad memories.

We now have Skins (I think), I rejoice every time one of those smart-arse little tw@ts get punched out - the bonus being that they are Southerners too. Got to be careful though as half the cast are turning me into a dirty old man.

Anyway, I don't have an accent - how dare you.

I am. Threw in a bit of bait on Monday morning, after last weekend's loss. I had a few biting; made one remark in a crowded office & left, came back 15 mins and they were still ranting about how unfair it all was.

Had a good laugh about the racism thing. Considering the nasty personal sh!t they give to everyone on field, I reckon they have a bit of a glass jaw.

Looking forward to 2009. England better had better perform a wee bit better than last year; I've been here 20 yrs now and they haven't won a series here; it's getting to be a bit of a disappointment. 5-0 whitewashes are not good.

[dry suit diver]

would that be ' how very dare you'


one half of the dude twins is right, we shouldn't call him all those names. I can get away with the fat comments as being a FB myself it goes with the territory.

Howard - things could be worse.

You could get Scubees Boobies every 5 minutes, or a bloody picture with your face covered in Marmite!
