  16. @justasking Look at the OP. He's highlighting grooming in Canada, exactly where we said it would happen, 15 odd years ago, when you were like 4!
  17. I like the beat behind this Mist track. Video looks fun too:
  18. You know shooting something straight in the head is considered jhatka too bro?
  19. I like what this brother is saying generally and agree, but I don't agree with his analysis of the AK47 track. I think the main mover behind that was the producer Steel Banglez. And at the time of release, London was experiencing an increase in normalised racism (which hasn't abated), plus with all the confronting of grooming and the police going on, Sikhs needed to send a strong message out. Banglez paired the most viewed Panjabi artist (Fudhu Moosewala) with a renown West Indian one (Stefflondon) and an upcoming Birmingham lyricist (Mist). Notice how unlike most (if not all?) of Fudhu Moosewala's other tracks, this one had moosewala keep his mouth shut with his usual pro-caste bull5hit (which I believe must be Steel Banglez influence on the project?) I don't think this one was cultural appropriation, but a subtle symbol of potential unity (between Sikhs and West Indians), when things looked dicey.
  20. I think as well, some men's 'boat races' (faces) can start to look more attractive to women as they get older, because they look like they are more 'distinguished' or have more 'character' because of it? Plus a lot of bloke-ish or laddish geezers can be quite immature, and only grow up mentally a bit later. That's why you get 40/50 year olds in the UK who still get drunk, and start fighting with other football teams fans even after reaching middle age maybe?
  21. 25 years ago, word on the grapevine was that even kharkus who'd fled to p'stan were meeting british raised apneean trapped in the country on the streets asking for help. Apparently they'd been dumped there in brothels by 'boyfriends'. The kharkus weren't even in any position to help them. Look at how much anecdotal information has been floating around for decades, which seemed like conspiracy theories back then, but have subsequently proved to be true. All of this was smoke coming off a larger, hidden fire.
  22. Your tolerance levels go down as you get older. You get more easily irritated. Better to get into a relationship before this. lol!
  23. Coming as an older, I'd advise younguns: Get married while you're young. It isn't like getting married when older is some guarantee of not getting divorced. Plus you can get baggage as you get older, that can make relationships harder. It's best when you have a good supportive network around you. You'll need it.
