must try harder not to ... imo.

correct

sorry i didnt find the joke funny

me neither to be honest, suprised from someone who is normally very funny & a nice guy the times i have met him, but that one was off target i'm afraid.

what's the difference tho between someone wishing someone to have a car crash & wishing someone to die in a fire?? It can't be a case of it's ok to wish someone to diagf cos they know each other surely?

[Claw75]

I laughed at the bumper joke - think people are reading too much into it.  If Billy had said he'd found jobs for three women today, and Andrew had made the same crack, would it not have been funny then?  Can't see the difference myself from where I'm sitting, especially given who said it.

I don't know which side you're on Vinni with the diagf stuff, but I just don't get it at all - the lads seem to find it amusing among themselves though - perhaps I'm just too old.

*sigh*

Consider if Billy had instead said one of the following:

I got 3 teenagers jobs today and i managed not to crash my car.

I got 3 Russians jobs today and i managed not to crash my car.

I rescued 3 abandoned dogs today and i managed not to crash my car.

I'd have made the exact same comment because what the actual noun is in the first clause is irrelevant - the structure of the joke comes from the juxtaposition of the two clauses.

Cliff notes: what Claw said with added big words.

i'm not against any of it, im just asking whats the difference?

the shrewdies know each other & billy & gary know each other. Yet gary has been condemned for saying it imo.

As for Andrew's reply i understand what you are saying, i just don't like jokes that involve diasbled people. I understand the 'disabled' bit isn't the important part in the joke, i just don't find that kind of humour funny. Only my opinion of course, other that that you're an ok bloke. Keep up the otherwise good work.

I didn't see the thread but i can speak for the shrewdies and its always said as a laugh, it is never meant in anger.

Not quite the same in Gary's case IMHO, when Gary posted his comment it was not meant as far as i can see or taken for that matter in a lighthearted way,  I do believe this has more to do with Gary and I being at odds over an issue with a grimming and posting part of an IM conversation on another thread that has been taken out of context.  but that again is another story.

As for a permanent ban, I don't think its needed to be fair, Gary made his comment in the heat of the moment i accept that and i even accept the intention behind it. That's just Gary and he does not know any better.

And if you don't like jokes against disabled people you should never come to my office, 97% of the workforce in my company has a health condition or a disability, piss taking is rife and jokes are thick and banter filled, take it on the chin and grow a thick skin is the motto.

Question answered, thank you, therefore Gary is now officially a tool for saying it.

It's a joke about not crashing a car though.....


On the topic of the incident i just watched the video on the BBC website, obviously the copper is in the wrong but i dont think its right to say he is a murderer!

I don't see why,  they all have different disabilities, we have 1 fella in a wheelchair who gets a rubdown purely cos he cant reach the plates and cutlery or the tea urn in the kitchen so he takes it tight for doing his share of the tea making as well as his ridic paint job on his Wheelchair, now nicknamed hotwheels.

we have a woman who issues with her hip and she tries to run everywhere and fails at it, she gets it tight for running like an NCP carpark attendant,

 A few people with serious sensory disabilities and they get it tight for pretty much being blind.  Its all in good fun and jest no one takes it seriously wether you are with as disability or without.  Makes the days go faster tbh
