stevie_b Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Monkey is a bona-fide Orange tariff. This is just a bunch of losers with nothing better to do with their time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Stupid, do-gooder, pc wankers. As far as I'm concerned, these people are the racists. Most normal, tolerant people wouldn't see anything racist in that - only a racist would make that connection. F'kin busybody white bastards.

cheekymonkey Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I didn't know about the racist connotations of "monkey" until a few months ago, I was in the office trying to get some large files across to a contractor here. He's a big black dude and he asked me for the hostname of my laptop. I replied "monkey" and the other guys in the office just went a little quiet...
