Cliff Richard is now Barbadian

[Treacle Toes]

anyway shouldn't that be 'Bajan' not 'Barbadian'?

This! Bajan.

SirCliff doing what other-rich-people-do-shocker. How does this sit with his Christian conscience I wonder.

 

[Treacle Toes]

As the barbadian say he is a pussy clot

Clart.

Clart is Patios for cloth. Pussy clart or blood clart literally means vagina/menstral cloth/pad/towel or whatever.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

TBF, Barbadian accents all sound "west country", so he'd just sound like a carrot-muncher.

I remember that episode of Desmonds as well

The west indian people i worked with used it quite a lot and yes it is sexist

Will the queen's representative step in to help/speed up an extradition ?

Probably not as the Govenor Genera lrepresents Brenda in her role of Queen of Barbados. She/he would help protect Sir Cliff from being persecuted by the tyrannous British state. Things'll be even more fun if Scotland votes for independence Lizzy Queen of Scots v Betty the Second of England

Cliff Richard is a cunt

It's not often that "Cliff Richard" and "cunt" appear in the same sentence. Nice work, fellow Urbanite

He should have been executed long ago for his crime against humanity at Wimbledon back in 81

Humanity will be judged for that one day.

Try and say "beer can" without sounding like someone doing a bad impersonation of a Jamaican saying "bacon".

 

[skyscraper101]

His place is well nice tbf. He's even had Tony and Cherie as guests innit. Quite a lot of it is featured on 'When Piers Morgan met Sir Cliff' (surely everyone on urban saw this at the time)

¿Pero a dónde bajan?

 

[el-ahrairah]

the tax dodging swine, he's made most of his money off people in this country buying his records and now he's out to doge his dues?

I've seen it spelled both ways, there's no 'r' in it (Carribean and UK English are both non-rhotic). The Carribean 'o' just sounds a bit like a long 'a' or 'ar' to the UK ear. Pussyclot and bumbaclot actually get more google results than pussyclart or bumbaclart but I'd say both spellings are acceptable.

Why is it sexist? Is battyclart offensive to people who go to the toilet?

 

[Lemon Eddy]

maybe that article was a bit iffy. I wont comment on the salcacious stuff- fuck know theres enough of it about that would be worth mentioing on here- but he really is the worst kind of knee jerk, tory, reactionary selfish judgemental shitbag. fuck off the barbados Cliff, you wont be missed here

Other than the inference that he's moving there to avoid prosecution, can you advise just why a man who's lived in Barbados since 2006 is doing something wrong to take up Barbadian citizenship? After 8 years of living in a place, surely he should be paying them taxes? It's not even as if Barbados is particularly low tax for individuals, base rate 17.5% going to 35% above 35,000 BB. He could have moved to Cayman far more easily, and been on 0% tax.

 

[trabuquera]

he just wants to jump on Rihanna's bandwagon.

His cover of S&M should be quite something.

Cliff Richard's now a barbarian?

All related back to Bristol being the UK end of the West Indies trading route I think - I suspect lots of exposure to West Country sailors coloured the developing regional accent.

However, given the above, every island accent is very distinct - and its only Bajan that sounds very Brizzle.

I remember that episode of Desmonds as well

Nah, not from "Desmond's". I used to do some casual work for a Barbadian woman. It was pretty inescapable. I kept expecting her to say "moi luvly" or something similar!

Total Freudian slip from the garden-crazy Rutita!!!

Just wasted some time reading the Cliff Richard Wiki entry. I couldn't find any reference to something that I thought I knew about him -- that he owned a vineyard in Portugal. Or have I made this up out of nothing?

I thought that too, in fact flicking through the telly the other day he was on that choccywockidoodah programme the woman from the cake shop jetted out to meet him in Portugal to ask him what cake he wanted for some charidee event.. he was a cunt on that too.

There was also many transported there from Bloody Assizes following 17century Monmouth rebellion.
Bullers ( gay men ) and trans* are not uncommon living openly in Barbados.
