Is a white ginger called a "winger"?

Or a "whinger", perhaps.

I dunno, racist.

This is my new favourite show, Pantone!

 

[La La]

Well like, then it has nowt to do with a landlord, its the people who live there looking for someone with whom to share their home. It's a different kettle of fish.

yeah tomato tomato.

You do also get a lot of French who don't want to live with other French, Spanish who don't want to live with other Spanish etc. because they don't want to end up speaking their own native language all the time. Living with a person of another nationality forces them to speak and practice their English. I think that's a reason behind a lot of these ads.

 

[classic seanc]

be nice to the poor no capital renters la la. They're the future.

Does the dvd boxset have a release date? What extras are on it?

 

[snakybus]

I wonder does Mitchum run into this kind of trouble, being French and all that.

Mitchum (smoking Gauloise roly): I am here to view la chambre. You have a rrrum, non?
Landlord: A wha'?
Mitchum: A rrum.
Landlord: A wha'?
Mitchum: Sigh. A rrum.
Landlord:Are you takin' the mick?
Mitchum: I am not, comment dit, taking the piss, sir. I need somewhere to sleep. A resting place. Somewhere to hang my beret. And I will pay for this, sir.
Landlord: No fucken' Johnny Onion Ringses.
Mitchum (filing nails): Pardonnez moi?
Landlord: We don't take fardiners
Mitchum: Puh (generalised French-style expletive of contempt). Yes, fine. Just play to ze gallery, conard. I got 16 blow jobs last night. Did you?
Landlord: What are you shitin' on about?

etc

 

[MDR]

"POLISH WELCOME! LIVE WITH FRIENDS!"

I think that was an ad for a live-in cleaning lady to wipe dust off the furniture.

this thread will be on it

 

[Pantone247]

Does the dvd boxset have a release date? What extras are on it?

well it's multi region, so it'll have different language options, e.g.

english: episode one, chapter one

spanish: I SAID EPISODE ONE, CHAPTER ONE, WHATS THE MATTER WITH YOU, YOU DEAF OR SOMFINK?

That and the attitude that if you let one polish/czech dude move in, five more will show up on your couch a week later. This has happened to at least four people i know.

To be fair, that can happen with Irish flatmates too. I shared a flat with a girl years ago... after a week her boyfriend was practically living there, with his band, eating all our food, after 2 weeks 2 of her girl friends were living in the place every weekend, bringing back random strange men and eating any food that was left. I lived in my bedroom (when I wasn't at work), lost 14 lbs in 10 weeks, then I moved out.

 

[Pantone247]

God, do you remember them, thanks christ we got rid of all them bastards




pantone247: we're still be pretend racist right?

pantone248: uh... yeah totally... totally pretend racsit?

pantone247: like it's just a joke and we all know that?

pantone248: uh huh... yeah... totally... eh... joke...

pantone247: oh good, cause it was getting kind of weird there.. heh heh heh...

pantone248: yeah, ha ha ha, nah don't worry we don't hate foreginers

pantone247: cool!

pantone248: expect for the filthy red swedish!

pantone247: *gulp!*

 

[MDR]

Five Polish guys live in the house next door to me. They're very nice and are big fans of Pantone's.

 

[Pantone247]

the poles, as a race, generally warm to my deep resonant voice, sharp surealist comebacks and comically bleek world view

 

[RSJ]

I never said it was exclusive to eastern europeans, i just said that people have the attitude that if you let an eastern european move in, five of them'll be there tomorrow. It's happened me once each with french and irish people, but people don't really talk about it as much as they do it happening with polish/czech people.

 

[therealjohnny]

I reckon its just a thing ALL immigrants do.. and why not? best to live as cheaply as possible with your mates until you get sorted in your new country


But if i was a landlord I'd tell them to sling their hooks , but on sexist grounds, not racist
