Ross, there are wanker's in EVERY country. There is a big difference between being a low IQ and being stupid. I grew up in a town that was about 80% Maori, so I know what its like to be the odd one out. You handled it well. I always try to adhere to 2 rules, "Never argue with an idiot, people might not know the difference" and "If you have to resort to violence you have already lost". I used to fight a lot mind you. Sometimes you do have to fight, but you always lose something. I'm older and wiser now.
Anytime Ross it does seem you need to get out of there because it's getting to you badly. I will always remember the first words said to me when we moved over here, I was told I won't get any friends over here I was only 10 at the time I wanted to go back to Wigan after that. It's not the same as what you are getting Ross but I can sympathise with you it's not easy moving to somewhere new and being accepted.

wanted a pair for ages, finally found some in my size! i do love bad brains, even got a bad brains tattoo! shame after album 2 they made some really, really, really, REALLY bad music! redeemed themselves last year with a real killer!
in case anybody is wondering, the people on stage @ the beginning are doing a slow version od the H.R. Skank. H.R. is the guy shouting, he does a normal speeded up version once the song kicks in!
kinda similar in style to my new band. you guys would probably hate it!
ooooh! we finally have a name....... "LIVE FAST DIE"

nice trainers ross, i just read the incident you had and you handled it well. It's not easy to restrain yourself when an ignorant f*cker tries to goad you into a fight so good on you.
Ross, I know I'm guilty of swearing myself, but would you mind amending the thread title? It's right at the forefont of the forum and fingers crossed once the relaunch happens there will be traffic pouring in from a lot of the Joe forums, some of whom will probably be kids.
Sorry to be a prig. I'm cool if you just substitute some vowels for @&%$! a la Asterix.
