100 year old sprinter

dowie · 15 Oct 2011 at 15:30

Anyone wondering if his age claim could perhaps be a bit dubious?

Then why did the OP call him a "British man"? Surely that's irrelevant to the fact that he's a sprinter at 100 years old...

The BBC article stated he was British.

British or not - who cares...

Is he actually 100? Dubious....

A lot of chavs barely speak comprehensible English.

English is an ever changing language. like it or not, the Chavs are shaping the future of the English language.

Oh dear, typical bigoted GD thread responses are typical.

Makes me happy to see people like this. Much rather have an interesting old codger like him over here than back 'home' dying of cholera or some other crap 30 years ago.

How can people know if he is interesting if most of us british can't understand him :rolleyes:

Agreed. Probably changed his date of birth on entry. I'd like to see evidence before I can believe such a statement.

More like they're dragging it back a few millenia.

TBH the reason white chavs speak that way is due to mass immigration of blacks

You have a fair point there DD my good chap - racist or not. This has to have forced the decline in the quality of the spoken english language, mainly due to the influx in bluds, but possibly also due to gang mentality and the wish by one to feel part of an entity.

Do we see those in the upper streams in schools speaking in such a manner? No. Therefore there is also a class issue here (awaits oKuC forata member to make comment).

Yes, because words like 'innit' are common patois in places like Ghana and Nigeria.

javv5 · 15 Oct 2011 at 16:08

Yes, they is.

Perhaps he can speak English, but not enough to speak on TV?

Why do chavs speak like divs where there are no black people then?

What then? Telepathy?

How do we defend against a telepathic invasion of this country? Suppose that would be foil hats wouldn't it?
