Exactly Pete! What ‘pol’ seems to be proposing is a return to the good old days of judicial summary justice – no more messing around with jury trials followed by endless appeals etc – and the guilty miscreants banished overseas to an Australian penal colony for ever and ever amen.

Incidentally, and not many people know this, but the term…[Read more]

Erm technically, he’s right. Everyone has commiserated with Susie on her horrid day, but nobody has said…. God…

Unfortunately, I don’t know any jokes about ‘world poverty’ ….. maybe you could oblige???

In answer to the question posed by this thread and in view of all the comments posted …… it looks as thought it’s just you Susie.

So the moral of will’s story is: Never ever make any sort of ‘joke’ or lighthearted comment on anything remotely serious, just in case you offend somebody somewhere.

If you can’t find somebody to claim offence, you can always fall back on that time honoured comment “You wouldn’t find it funny if it was your ************* ” (fill in the…[Read more]

Goodness gracious Gazlan, if you “did” that pair of munters, surely you wouldn’t want to boast about it.

I don’t know about “Pssst” – more likely pissed.

Look, just because I possess almost godlike admin powers doesn’t mean that I have had a sense of humour bypass.

Sometimes, in order to survive in this awful world, you need to have a sense of the ironic …. oh and will, – not to take yourself too too seriously.

There’s a lot of heartlessness circulating around eh minim?

I guess that, as I only had ” negative “ remarks to make ….. that’s me stuffed for another year then eh?

some people just don’t get irony

In which context, will is slowly coming to realise that we were all children once.

now why doesn’t your reply suprise me !

Er…. is it because it was sitting there for a week???

Thank God rosepetal, that you didn’t do a “Little Miss Muffet” and sat on a ‘tuffet’….. it would take a lot more than a sneeze to get that out !!!

Yes of course……….be my guest!

Have you set a date?

Not yet – but I suspect that one more sarcastic comment at NcB and she’ll set the date for me. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Bloody clever these Chinese eh?

The answer could be that they execute drug smugglers and other ‘undesirables’ rather than spend years agonising over rehabilitating them – as we do in the West. The vast amounts of money thus saved is spent on an efficient and low cost infrastructure.

Well at least somebody got the irony in my reply.

Notwithstanding your New Year’s rant pikey, I suspect that Pete makes a good point. In reality, the winner(s) of a conflict are usually the ones whose view get recorded in history as the so-called ‘truth’.

Generally, they are able to minimise (or even airbrush out) any of their shortcomings and maintain focus on their righteousness etc. Nobody…[Read more]

….PB is the very soul of generosity and the king of freedom of speech on these here boards. His injection of levity and the occasional barbed comment give weight and substance to the plethora of inanity that drips from our fingers a myriad times a day!

Yes I’m afraid I did, and no mug of Horlicks either. However, I remain unrepentant (as you’d expect) in the face of having to plough through reams of soul searching psycho babble dressed up as third rate philosophy.

……. and if you can’t stay safe, please get pissed and fall under a bus. Remember, all those nice nursies who have to work this evening need something to do with their time.
