Be Excellent To Each Other

This is chilling:

I don't have threads, what's that about?

It's a public post, you don't need an account. Although the video wasn't working when I opened it.

Young kids holding flags and, presumably, chanting something anti-immigrant.

They’re chanting ‘We want them out!’

Gross.

The locals have now resorted to painting each, And, Every, Stripe, Of, The, Zebra, Crossing in a shitty flag that looks like it was done in a child’s crayon.

All those lovely flags and then this for no reason except maybe they felt left out because someone put up flags.

I see MaliA has decorated

What are all those ugly wires for?

Not a clue. We’ve only ever driven past it, but the people that live there appear to be quite anti-social. The drive is always piled high in sofas, bikes, mattresses, broken bits of car and hundreds of broken kids toys, and there are usually 8-10 people sitting outside the front drinking and smoking. It’s a tip, to be honest, but the rest of that street is really quite nice, so it really stands out.

What you can’t see is there are two of those large, caged open topped trucks, like the ones that rag and bone men use, parked next to the black vehicle, and they are piled high with junk, so I think they are junk collectors (and storers?) so the wires might be some stuff they have rescued?

Mmm yes, I can picture the sort of thing from that description. Generally I tend to steer clear of folk that present as outwardly anti social like that. The thinky bit of my brain tries not to judge, but the judgy bit of my brain, well, it snaps to a quick judgy opinion (I think I get that part of me from my mum).

The more I look at the photo, the more scatty that house seems.

A few years back there was a house around the corner like that. At one point, there were some trailers just full of junk - including, surprisingly, a coffin

Russell, Dr Zoidberg and I used to work around the corner from this:

It seems more embarrassing than anything.

Honestly, if he'd stopped at the Union Jack on the statue, it might have looked badass, but the sea of polyester underneath is just awful

Needs some miner adjustments.

Why do the people responsible for these always look exactly like you expect them to?

He reminds me of the dude from G-Police on the PS1.

Thats an odd/old connection to make!

It certainly is.

It's both entirely predictable yet still makes you sigh sadly right?

I saw some people putting flags up on a roundabout the other day. I was tempted to shout out at them and tell them that half of them were upside down but I think that would have only confused them even more.

One of them looked exactly as you'd expect and was complete with an airbrushed 'British Bulldog' T shirt. Nasty.
