@ghost-of-a-duke saidIf anything, she was the one being "passive aggressive ". But I'm OK with her. Me being rather blunt with her, like I was, is pretty much the opposite of "passive aggressive".
Go revisit what you wrote. Perhaps you have forgotten.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidThis is an example of "passive aggression" in the service of dodging a scrutinizing question.
Your recent bizarre posting is likewise noted.
Seriously, take a break. Go for a walk or something.
@fmf saidI only have positive, and slightly nostalgic images of Bradford, and Yorkshire in general. - The racist stuff is completely in your mind, not mine.
Bradford is a city that is ripe for racist riffs and quips. But, as I said, you probably chose it unwittingly.
I often reference Bradford or Harrogate in my quips, purely as they sound funnier than Leeds or Hull. Are you now going to say 12% of people living in Harrogate are Martian and I am being unwittingly racist towards them?
Like I said, take a break.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidNope. Bradford. It's a common riff. I've heard expats use it many a time. Like I said, you probably did it unwittingly.

@fmf saidYou said the same about the expression 'dry drunk' and yet nobody other than yourself seems to have heard of it.

I live in the UK and have never heard Bradford used as the punch line to any derogatory joke.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidAnyone who's had anything to do with Alcoholics Anonymous or has had to help alcoholic friends, as I have, will have heard of it if they have a joined-up knowledge of the issue.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI have heard it more times than I can remember. If you did it unwittingly, then what is there for you to worry about?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidWhat are you "accusing" me of?
It is noted how often you do this. (Be accused of something and immediately try to flip it on the person making the accusation).

@fmf saidCountless times?
I have heard it more times than I can remember.
Let's explore that notion. I live in the UK and have never heard Bradford referenced in a derogatory fashion, while you live in Indonesia and have heard it more times than you can remember? - Is that what you are claiming?
@ghost-of-a-duke saidBradford has been a kind of meme in comic or not-so-comic quips since the demographic changes of the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. i.e. Bradford = a dump.
Countless times?
@ghost-of-a-duke saidAs I have said, more than once, you probably did it unwittingly. Go with that.
