Could you put that into English?

Sure: Perhaps you are finding being patronised a bit too easy.

Very funny. Hi-larious.

I think I can settle this.

Nini, stop being overly mean to Malpass.

Malpass, you're not a young adult, you're a teenager at best, a child ar worst. Get over it and shush.

There, done.

Now back to ads, the one with the "front and back" fanny pad annoys me, mainly due to the mans smug face when he picks up the lady's packet of them.

Job done and well said. Yes, that ad IS annoying, due to the fact that if that happened in real-life, the guy would walk (or run) away in disgust.

"Overly mean"? Like Mark asks, think maybe he's finding himself being patronised too easily?

Maybe. I don't know. Can we please move on?

Thats enough, please.

"Quiet - the grown ups are talking" and "sit you on the naughty step little boy" are extremely patronising in my opinion.

And as mine is the only one that counts, please take the point on board.

If I wanted a minimum age requirement on Metropol it would be stipulated in the Terms & Conditions.

There's various ads on bus shelters around here at the moment depicting various archetypal scenes of intimacy with "this is not an invitation to rape me" stamped over it. Someone has scrawled "conceited whore" over one of them. I can't pretend that wasn't going through my mind.

I have the feeling that sort of graffiti would be considered 'art' in Plymouth because the perpetrator managed to scrawl a meaningful statement, which is unusual here.

Do you think that is the sort of poster to have in bus shelters in the first place, lukey?

They're not as bad as the horrible give us a smile ads with pictures of miserable looking folk who supposedly have some face muscle thing. It's like the caption is taunting them. Several had big smiles drawn on them much to my amusement.

Graffiti is rampant amongst the Dundonian youth/young people/teenagers/'young adults', obviously.
