However, if the feeling abroad is that the term knacker is verboten due to its potential racist connotations. I don’t know maybe @Sidney is an actual member of the travelling community.!I therefore retract all the instances where I used the word “knacker” above and would like to substitute “rat bastard” in its stead.
Mods please make this happen.

I’m glad you enjoyed the reaction you provoked. That should keep you satisfied for a while.

What’s wrong with being a member of the Travelling Community?
You should lob up your snide remark that started this little fracas you’re so clearly enjoying on your facebook. I’m sure your friends and family will be delighted at how clever you are.
Nothing. I just wouldn’t like you to think I was calling you a knacker just because you’re a Bona fida tinker.

Mods, ban this absolute knacker.
Their would be life bans given out by now if an extra apostrophe had been used.
I missed it, what was it?
I once bought a sliced pan in Turkey whose brand name was knacker. Fact.
[QUOTE=“Sidney, post: 1130359, member: 183”]Certainly nobody would ever mistake you for having done a thesis.
Thanks for your concern. I’m grand, bud.
I’d be more worried about yourself.
I do wish your wife well and hope she doesn’t have to suffer her own death sentence.[/QUOTE]
That’s a very horrible way to make a point Sid.
Was it just Knacker or Filthy knacker?
Ditch Rat apparently is a far worse term in cant circles.
Absolute warriors. Rehabilitated themselves into exemplary human beings during their time in prison, heroic bravery to the last in the face of what they knew was coming. They’ll rightly be treated as martyrs when their bodies return home. 
Not since James Connolly have we seen the likes.
In their last hours alive in this world, it was Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran who were doing the consoling - comforting their parents and siblings, and rallying the spirits of those to die alongside them.
The reformed drug smugglers, who did so much to transform Bali’s Kerobokan Prison and the lives of its inmates, were remarkably resolute and compassionate as they said their final farewells.

“They were just amazing,” said Myuran’s brother Chinthu. “They were strong and calm.”
"It was interesting. They have only been there a couple of months but already they had a great relationship with the guards.
“They were running the show.”

In the grim lead up to their executions, the nine drug felons slated for simultaneous death had been kept largely confined to their cells.
But after the pleadings of the two Australians, guards relented and for the final two days of their lives the prisoners have been allowed to be together.
“They opened the cells up, which was great,” Chinthu said. “They have spent a lot of time praying together.”

Chan, an ordained minister, is deeply religious. According to Matius Arif Mirdjaja, a former career criminal and drug dealer who credits Chan with turning his life around, the Sydneysider told him: “Fear not, you can kill the body, but you cannot kill the soul.”
Sukumaran’s last words to him, he said, were: “I’m not spiritual but I know where I’m going, man.”
There are no provisions for a final meal for execution victims in Indonesia. But the Bali nine duo organised food for everyone.

For their last night, it was boxes of chicken from KFC, a wildly popular favourite for Indonesians.
Myuran has been painting frenetically, producing some extraordinary work.
On what he expected to be his final full night on earth, Myuran barely slept, painting four canvases, haunting self portraits, a rendering of the Indonesian flag and a picture of a heart.
The final painting by Myuran Sukumaran was signed by all the death-row inmates. Photo: James Brickwood
Each of the nine prisoners pressed their fingerprints into the blood red paint of the flag, which drips down over the white portion of the flag.
The last painting was the heart, dangling from its arteries and entitled “Satu hati satu rasa didalam cinta - (one heart, one feeling in love)”.
Members of the firing squad aim for the heart when they kill the convicts, their bodies marked by a target pinned to their chests.

Each of the nine condemned signed it and some inscribed a personal message on the back of the canvas.
“God Bless Indonesia” wrote Okwudili Ayotanze, a Nigerian man who formed a band with prison guards while in prison on Nusakambangan, their place of execution.
“Keep smiling” wrote Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso, the Philippines mother who was duped into smuggling heroin into Indonesia.
In their final moments with their families, there were plenty of tears. Not from Andrew and Myuran though. They were defiantly full of life, but ready to meet their fate.

It was a loaf of bread pal. Why would it be filthy?
You were in a Turkey at the time of the purchase pal I presume, but point taken all the same 
You have gone international for this weeks ‘cause’ I see.
It must be a quite news week in Ireland with an alarming lack of downtrodden misfortunates in need of support?

I had a look in there a while and opened this thread. I had to break my silence. I stand steadfastly beside you here Sid. I’m shocked at some of the reactions about this real life human story. I’m really disappointed with some of you guys for the cold callous disregard for human life shown here in this thread. Really really poor taste.
If you stand shoulder to shoulder with that cunt after what he said then you’re dead to me
