Correct? How do you define what is correct when what we are talking about is a biological process? Are some groups of neurons correct and others incorrect?

Shouldnt that have been suffixed with "politically" ?

Moehat…mate of mine was a bus driver who (on pension days) used to love ramming the anchors to send the pensioners and their shopping all over the place. Brightened up his day no end

Indeed, I’m surprised we got to the 4th page without someone brandishing that particular prefix.

So, just to clarify, Clivex, if you were walking down the street and an elderly woman fell over in front of you, you’d stand there laughing?

No.. I would think about it (as you suggested) ..and piss myself later

(it was an extreme example i will admit..)

But Roland the comment (as it’s not a joke) isn’t actually about her. It’s about a perception than the BBC is so PC that this is the sort of thing they would do. And, I think as a piece of quick-witted observational humour it was within its context (the Betfair Forum) funny.

And what I’m saying is that a I don’t understand how anyone can hold a fundermental view on humour. Surely as you’ve alluded to it’s all about context and content.

BTW, it’s rude to cherry pick or did you not bother reading the rest of my post.

Apologies….i didn’t neccessarily think your reaction to the joke/comment was wrong, but just different to mine.
I do however agree/concur with your feelings towards the merit of her achievements. You made them clear and i just assumed anyone reading the thread would see this also.

Reference Ricky Gervais. What he does so well when tackling taboo sytle subjects is in making us laugh at the ignorance behind them rather than the actual issue.

Clivex – stirring the smelly stuff surely? As is your wont

Which on reflection is probably what Lolly’s Mate was doing, with results that must have surpassed his wildest dreams.

Grass, Pete – consider my chain well and truly yanked.

Drone, good point as usual. But some things have to be said regardless.

Max, I don’t think you need to apologise, your post on page 1 was excellent and sensitively prepared unlike a number of others I’ve read on here recently. A credit to you and thank goodness there is still some decency evident.
