So these "NED's" wouldn't be named after the "Simpsons" character "Ned Flanders", would they?

Bloody Charvers.. The North East is full of them.

One little idiot was gobbing all over the floor of the metro station - He turned to me and said "what the #### r ye looking at ya gay boi" ....

So I asked him to stop spitting, and he then went to spit at me - he hicked it all up, but I stopped him by pushing  his head down into his chest. He said he would have me for assualt -  He said he was gonna get his mates to kill me.

 Seriously - it is a cultural thing. I dont like to generalise, and I dont like stereotypes - but in this case its true. Its not about fashion, or music, but attitude. And their attitude stinks - selfish, greedy, and ignorant. I wouldnt accuse them of being nasty - I dont think they have the mental capacity for that. Its their ignorance that is the danger. Furthermore, they relish the fact - they dont want to learn, they dont want to help themselves other than to what the state can provide. All that money that could be going to the people that really need it is going to support these conciounceless  people.

I'm sounding like a Nazi.....

Just read the bit about the cheeky ned....


The other day it was raiing quite hard, so I took my umbrella with me to work. On the way home if wasnt raining - but of course I had my umbrella with me - folded up.

I passed a load of charvers pushing their prams. And about 10  Feet behine me they shouted "Ye do realise it aint raining, I bet ye any money hes as thick as clarts"

And they had babies in those prams - the cycle is repeating itself for another 20 years.......

I wonder if this gives non-Scots second thoughts about visiting our country? I bet before this y'all thought it was all green glens and men in skirts dancing around swords, huh?

actually, a friend's father and uncles were born in the mean streets of Glasgow and i have at least a small idea of what's happening over there. (i'm sending him this link. i'm sure he'll laugh!)

i love watching tv shows that display the various glasgow accents. they may be hard to fathom, but are fasinating!!!

i'd still like to visit! i ike places with character!

[whabang]

I'm a fairly decent english speaker, but I allways have problems with those "extreme" english accents...

I was round a mate's house for the weekend - you know one of those lost weekends when you go round to someone's house on Friday and have a few beers, and then wake up on Saturday surrounded by bodies (live ones ) and start again... That Nedagotchi thing was a hit, I was woken on Saturday morning to the sounds of "I'll stab ye in the face, ye wee d!ck" "My new Bergheese jacket" -  I couldn't keep them away from it!

I was thinking about that too - there will always be people dumb enough to have charver babies, as long as charvers keep breeding more charvers. We should put them in camps. Sieg heil!!  :lol:

(Sorry people, I'm really tired, I know that's not funny...  :-D )

[whabang]

Yes it was. :-D

Update:

If you want to know how the Glasgow Ned sounds, have a wee look and listen to this video.

You'll need flash.

As long as they could still claim social, they could still hang around corners with White Lighting and Buckfast, and if there was a JJB Sports in the camp, they'd love it.

Spot on!

btw, before anyone complains you might want to add a language warning ;-)

Wilse, do these "NEDs" ever grow up and become productive citizens?

Or are they quiting school, thus never getting the tools needed to do so?

What happens to them after they are 30 or 40 years old?

@Fade:

In my experience, very rarely.

It's safe to say that the majority will not be particularly academic.

What happens to them after they are 30 or 40 years old?

By that time, most of them will have produced a few NED-juniors. Usually to more than one NEDette mother.

Wheeeee....

I've always wanted to test out the BUMP icon...
