Other than some of the pap we post on here, what other 'sweeping generalisations' are you inclined to make?

That people who post pics of themselves in yoga poses on beaches / against a rising / setting sun and so on, are tw*ts.

Anyone who uses the term 'workshop' in a context not involving light engineering is a t**t.

Lager drinkers and KFC eaters are far more likely to be litter louts than beer and wine drinkers.

Audi drivers are all trying to kill me. Whether I'm driving or cycling they will stop at nothing to see me killed in a road 'accident'. Their latest tactic is to spring their door open after a good hard look in the wing mirror to time their attack. Makes a change from the classic 2cm overtake though.

That people who like Earl Grey must have 'weird taste'. If I think it I remind myself that they probably don't.

It's the tea of the devil (for me)...

Stop defaming larger drinkers.... the the sh*t that's sold as larger in the UK is nothing of the sort.

I've often said that too. It's similar to a document being described as a toolkit. Eurgh!

On the subject of yoga, it does amuse me that yoga teachers, all about the spirituality, all seem to be very commercially aware. I'm not sure I can square that circle.

I thought that, in cycling, it is *upwind* both ways.

On topic: Any forum post that ends with, "... and yet here you are..." is drivel.

No, not kill, just generally crumple you a little.....

I know - go to the US and see the size of their drinkers.

It says 'Lager' on the tins in the hedgerow therefore my sweeping generalisations are valid. Feel free to class 'real' lager drinkers under the beer drinker category, though.

It is more effective to sweep towards yourself, across the front of your body, rather than push away.

In my experience of litter picking, McDonalds eaters, cigarette smokers and energy drink drinkers (Red Bull, Monster etc) are the most likely.
 GrahamD 20 Sep 2016

Yeah ! them too. The more sweeping the generalisation the better.

People who believe in God are mental.

A person who does not drink alcohol is an alcoholic or mental.

Drivers who wear hats (young or old) are twa*#s.

Any sentence containing words 'Nigeria' and 'investment' is a fraud.
