kennym Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 HI I saw a post that asked "why dont people post"... I thought well I dont really post unless I have some thing to say or I can help someone......... then I read a post which mentioned townies... Then I remembered seeing someone at this years pickering country show with a T-shirt on which read "do somthing usefull today kill a townie" well the fact is i'm a townie, I was born in Swainby north yorkshire, but I was brought up in Middlesbrough I talk, dress, and look like a townie...... and what the hells wrong with that......I would venture to say one of the biggest problems in the world today is INTOLERANCE ITS WHY (or a big part why) we have race hate, religious wars and goths & other strange looking people killed on our streets just because they are different........ The fact is you can be a **** wether you are black white country or townie in a sport like ours which suffers so much from intollerant people sticking their nose's in.... I thought we might have learnt that people have different outlooks, no one can say who's wrong or right, So if you dissagree with me thats ok you can have a different opinion to me ... just dont attack me for having mine OK thats my rant done with.....

Chard Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) I think you'll find that the Townie/Yokel thread was tongue-in-cheek. There's no hostility on here between city gents and those sheep-********, web toed, straw-haired, inbred, carrot-crunching heathens from the boonies Edited June 28, 2008 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinbum71 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I think in this context "Townie" is an abstract state of mind, not a reference to anything specific like location. Kinda like "Daft B@stard" or "Pedantic ****" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats right you tell them bob, Tell ya now country boy and all. Bungay is a very 'gay'' place, I could never find out where it originates from though. Maybe it was 'Bumgay' and the victorians changed it when attitudes changed........ Cheez I can never fathom out where I live- Its just full of riddles..... Essex must have come from 'Sex' though. The victorians must have changed that one too, Really the place you used to live was called 'Sex' and they changed it to save face.

I am a clever old soul are'nt I Yep, got it in one, apart from the origin of Suffolk, comes from the Anglo Saxon Simple-Folk, or as it was later corrupted to, Stupid-Folk, and even later into Suffolk, and, in more modern times, Saaarfuk. Bumgay is alright, apart from the one way system, once on it, you are there for life, there are old farts driving round on there who were teenagers when they first went drove onto it. Surprised that you did not mention Sotterley, the sex capital of the county, drugs, wild parties, dogging, catting, sheeping, vicar's tea parties, it's all happening there.

That reminds me, I had a letter from a friend who lives in the Shedland Isles, in a village called Asphalt on Pine, he's a shedpherd on a local farm. It's in the middle of nowhere, I asked him what he did about sex, he said "aboot sex ah have ma tea". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Yes we have an intolerence of townies. But thats refering to 'chavs'. The smoking, drinking, swearing, aggressive, stealing, work shy, soap dodging chavs that roam the towns and streets (sometimes the country too!). I have 100% zero tolerance for them. Just because they usually look like this, does not mean we have zero tolerence for usual towns folk. Now stop worrying about how you look and what we feel about it. Because to be honest, its not a big deal, lifes too short. You sound like a reasonable chap and that all I care about.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err can't realy argue wjth anything you say...... in my own way i said the same thing..... I suppose somtimes we all judge people harshly because of the preconseptions we have,...... I know if i'm out shooting with my mate , (he worked at farmways and his family are farmers) if we bump into people & he says hello he gets a better responce than if I open my big townie gob....... such is life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
