Mine is often unsuitable, apparently.

So, I am genuinely interested to know, what subjects do you think shouldn't be joked about?

I wish my XH dead sometimes. Like, I'll say "I hope his nob rots off" but that doesn't actually mean I hope he expires and dies of syphillis or AIDS or anything, because I'd probably be quite sad if he died - well, I would be because my children would be sad, and I would be sad because I loved him once.

Shall I bend over now for my whipping?

No Shirley but you might need to an STD test Shock

I used to dream of shooting my neighbours. I never did though.

Just because you say something, a thought, out loud it does not indicate that you actually mean it and within the context of that thread I thought it was quite clear that Hully did not mean her thoughts, she was just venting out loud about her obnoxious neighbours.

We all think things that we would never do and we all say things we don't mean. It's just that this is the internet and you can't control who reads it and in what context they take it.

So we should all sit on our hands.

And I will excuse you to point out that I have NOT said hth and that I don't think I've actually ever used it, so there.

Hullygully · 08/03/2012 12:02

are you quite well, Big?

I'd love a biscuit Hullybully

Hullygully · 08/03/2012 12:04

I am concerned that you are not entirely the ticket, Big, so I'm just going to let you get on with yourself now.

bye bye

Expires and dies. That's tautology that is.

BigGirlInASmallWorld · 08/03/2012 12:05

It's not a popularity contest!! Shock

BigGirl

let me indulge you and give you the attention you crave.

What is it exactly you want?

Oh yeah! I've never really noticed that before - almost as annoying as the "two times" thing rather than "twice" which is happening recently.

bejeezus · 08/03/2012 12:31

Have you all taken LSD?

you appear to be having entirely different conversations with one another...

Boomerwang · 08/03/2012 12:37

Yes, I'm watching this thing with Hully and Big with interest.

Indulge me, please.

Hang on, where is Shirley in all of this?

I do think we shouldn't make jokes about the holocaust, though; my grandad died in Auschwitz.

He fell out of his watchtower.

TheRhubarb · 08/03/2012 12:54

Yes I know, I felt terribly sorry for the cow too but really, the potato curry was just a step too far.
