yet more residential apartments for rich white people

Sup homie boi... sheeyaz, residizzle apahmins fo blinged honkies? Whassap widdat? Ah sez we's gits Gordon build sum a-partee-mons fo yous brown and black and yella cuzzies instead. Dem rich ones at least. Yo.

(OK, I'm sorry, but I did fail Gangstalogy 101 at uni so...)

You know what? (maybe, but I'll tell you anyway) Working in retail and hospitality while at uni just about destroyed my christmas spirit, it's almost back to the stage where I'll bother typing christmas with it's capital C but it was nasty. Some of thge things perpetrated upon and by the public were just... well lets just say they were not and leave it at that. Did you know that for six weeks I was forced while working at Liquor King Greenlane to listen to the same four christmas carol cd's on constant rotate for 8 hours plus per day. After six weeks of that as well as peoples insane demands (christmas really places undue pressure on people) I just wasn't interested. Sometimes companies can be really crass in their pursuit of a buck, whine whinge bah humbug etc etc. Christmas (hey capital!) is beginning to make a comeback for me because its become real again with my class and secret santa et al. It's not about whoring yourself to get screwed for a bonus by unrealistic budgets set by people who drive while intoxicated from store to store to give pep talks. Perhaps if they had to listen to the carols too?As for apartments for nouveau riche whitey, build em to relect their potential inhabitants, cheap and nasty.

to paraphrase rage against the machine, not trying to discredit but you still got no edit [function]

Wazzup bro...you can keep them blinged whities there on the waterfront...them dudes come down here and push the price of houses up and us have no roof over ours heads...no bro...u keep them...maybe when polar caps melt the water will wash them blinged honkies away...

Sup homie boi... sheeyaz, residizzle apahmins fo blinged honkies?

My point was that crash pads for rich folks don't exactly represent or facilitate a diverse and vibrant street life. Case in point: the stone-dead streets around the old vege market, by the Viaduct.

And your ebonics is terrible ...

No it's far more likely a slum or downmarket neighbourhood will do that so give it a few years...

How did 'numpty' get onto the word list? I got accused of being one here in Scotland and was so confused I nearly forgot to ask what it was I'd just been called.

And don't let the internet know 'truthiness' is there - Colbert fans got a bridge in Hungary and a Canadian ice hockey mascot named after him on web polls :)

And your ebonics is terrible ...

Don't be hatin on a playa.

Guilty as charged on numpty. I put it there. It seemed appropriate as there's been a heap of them about this year.

It was either that or fuck-knuckle and I didn't want to lower the tone (too much)

And the same post in jive - thank God for Gizoogle - thought I should stay in the character of the thread
