oh go on Pats, be a little tinker. You never know it might raise a smile, and it can’t be worse than ones i posted in the Jokes thread.
Its funny how subjective humour is.
I personally like spontaneous humour, whether it be to do with the current situation or a play on words, something that is spur of the moment. Instant observational stuff. Most jokes I would groan at, hardly any make me belly laugh, and a few raise a wry smile. This book, I have to say, didn’t even elicit a wry smile. I could barely raise the enthusiasm to even groan, which I what I did when I got a long and rather rude joke texted to me in the middle of the night at the weekend, well that and a closely followed “Yuk…gross!”
I did go and see some stand up comics recently. The funniest parts of each performance was when they aiming the jokes at members of the audience. I guess they have set jokes that they amend slightly so that it looks off the cuff and spontaneous, but some of it must have been made up on the spot.
For the most part, I guess the old adage – you had to be there, applies!
I could type some more examples from the book….. but i just lost the will to live.
Sunday worship
The rain falls
On hair slick and smooth.
Limbs
Defined by the dampness
And mud spattered.
Breath, fast and uneven
Hawk fast
Thrusting,
Moving with skill
Tense with effort
Bursting with restrained energy.
One last push, through parted legs
… and its in!
The stadium erupts to roars of pleasure,
One nil.:D
I don’t have Sky, so I miss seeing most of the games i would want to watch. I have to trawl the internet to find results. When the most exciting games in the year are not on terrestrial TV you have to wonder.
I know I can go to a pub to watch, and I often go to the gym and watch there. It pishes me off though. It wasn’t that long ago all the good games were scheduled on BBC 1 or ITV. Oh, and before you all say I am a cheapskate and should get Sky Sports packages, I can’t. I cannot have cable installed or a statellite dish due to where I live.
I know this is not the main thrust of this thread, but when money dictates which teams get the best players, and the lack of money (insolvency) is used to punish teams and supporters alike, and when the the cost of following your team is just too expensive, and our main tv channels cannot afford to schedule the games, it is important to recognise that football, like all sports, is about playing the game, and playing it well. It shouldn’t be about money at all.
And that is happening up and down this country, and you can get to see if for nothing, and it is exciting and exhilerating, and you can cheer from the side lines, and hug the people who play well, and go and watch the award ceremonies. We still give credit to those that succeed, and they are acknowledged and can feel proud. And they do it for the love of it. I am now off to watch a mate’s son get his award for man of the year.
As Ruby said.. too many people were executed and then later cleared of the crime. You can never be 100 per cent sure that someone is guilty.
Many perpetrators of serious crimes kill themselves in prison, whether because they are made to suffer more than they can stand in there, or from guilt, who knows.
Not all states in the USA have the death penalty. I don’t know what percentage of countries in the world execute criminals, but the list of those that do would make interesting reading. Do we want to be in that list?
you should have driven round the lampost
