New Sky woodworking show The Chop (with added white supremacism)

[strung out]

Really enjoying how Sky History managed to get all the way through filming and promoting this show without asking one of the contestants what his tattoos were all about...



Maybe they thought nobody would notice the 88, Homegrown and 23/16 tattoos all over the man's face

 

[killer b]

what does 23/16 mean?

 

[DotCommunist]

WP=white power i assume

 

[killer b]

ah, I found it - WP / white power of course

 

[Sprocket.]

Woodworking Plonker!

 

[killer b]

it's funny cause when you click through to the sky history twitter account, the most recent tweets are all about Martin Luther King and 'diversity in history'

 

[killer b]

ooh there's an update

 

[DotCommunist]

I am unconvinced. Chinny recon.

Wonder why tattoos tend to be associated with the right? Lots of swastikas, 14 words and lightening bolts. Not many on the left with Lenin, Red Stars or '93' inked on them. Can't just be down to intelligence.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

ooh there's an update

 

[killer b]

Incredible stuff. Do you think they believe it, or are they just trying real hard to avoid junking the show?

 

[planetgeli]

23/16 will be his mum's birthdate I expect.

93 of course famously associated with thelema

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Homegrown on his top lip cos he does a mean line in local skunk...

What does 23/16 refer to?

 

[moochedit]

23/16 will be his mum's birthdate I expect.

In dd/mm or mm/dd format?

 

[co-op]

What does 23/16 refer to?

It's the numbers of W and P = white power

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

In dd/mm or mm/dd format?

23rd of the sixteenth, innit.

yeh one peculiar tat, maybe. maybe. eg 18 may not always be ah. but more and more and a really poor explanation? i think after a while even a sky bullshit detector would kick in

but ime people with extensive facial tattoos often have very strange ideas

many years ago i was on a class war stall at the electric ballroom where conflict were playing. and a punk with a spiderweb tattoo over the whole of his face came up and engaged me in conversation for ten minutes about how he'd love to be an assassin for us. sadly he didn't leave his contact details.

Answered correctly by Bahnhof Strasse

It 'could' be 2/3/16 but that would be a grandparent or a child not a parent.

Yeah they missed out a dash because there were too many lightening bolts in the way.

Poor Darren.

SkyHistory getting trashed on twitter.

I'm guessing he's already won it and they can't lose face by binning the whole thing.

Ru Paul's Drag race disqualified one of their contestants earlier this year after they'd finished filming most of the show (for catfishing and sexual abuse), but that was more straightforward as they just booted the contestant from the final, which hadn't been filmed yet.

 

[pesh]

they should be filming the carnage that will be unfolding in the Sky HISTORY offices. that i'd like to watch.

Darren's nan should knit him a lobster balaclava.

23rd of Hitleruary

 

[8ball]

ooh there's an update

What an unfortunate massive coincidence.

 

[strung out]

Real bad luck to have all the significant events in your life denoted by the numbers 14, 88 and 2316

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

What an unfortunate massive coincidence.

He even got his commemorative date tattoos in an accidentally nazi font. Or is it typeface? Can never remember which is which.
