MN IS NOW OFFICIALLY A JOKE FREE ZONE BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS REALLY SERIOUS AND GUARANTEED TO OFFEND SOMEONE SOMEWHERE IN A CUPBOARD IN 1970

[Hullygully]

No jokes please.

1. No jokes about my dh walks a bit funny.

Because real people walk a bit funny and it is SERIOUS. I HAVE REPORTED YOU.

1. No jokes about furriners go ome or goats because real people face this everyday and it is SERIOUS I HAVE REPORTED YOU

I HAVE REPORTED EVERYONE EVERYWHERE FOR EVERYTHING JUST IN CASE

FFS

"Because you are not proper Inglish. Innit"

And you took that seriously?

Teally?

Words utterly fail.

Well I'm 56 Pag.
You...you... young whippersnapper you.
You don't know your'e born.

Oh yes! It's that time of year again when Pag, Hully and I all realise that we're Scorpios and go around offending a lot of people for that very reason

Oh Paggy, in my head you're 25. With long flowing hair and legs that go on forever

I am actually a feckless layabout so no, not offended.

Really even

Paggy is racing to 60

but not as fast as LadyBeagle

I have neither Absy. All though my very short legs have long flowing hair so that's close enough.

Sidles up to the mature ladies to feel young.

Yay! Go us Scorps!

I do feel a fred coming on...

another one...

I dun us a birfday fred innit

I'm offended by that Hully.
Do you think racing to 60 is funny? Do you? Do you?.

Yes

I haven't got my youth; he buggered off with the mobile haidresser

There was a thread a few weeks ago about 'bullying on mn', where there was a bit of argument about threads that started out seriously being derailed by 'larkers'. One argument then was that 'threads move on' and posters who couldn't keep up when a thread that started as serious and then developed into chit-chat and joking were socially inept. Here, some of the same people are arguing the exact reverse and saying how it is annoying when a lighthearted thread gets derailed by the 'PO'.

What is the difference? And why is it ok for larkers to talk down the PO but not the reverse?

FFS hully

I'm offended.

It's not my birthday.

There's no such thing as 'English' blood. Norman (who were really Viking), Angle and Saxon and Celt and Viking and who knows what else plus blood from every country we traded with, invaded or visited.

Are you fond of rules nosey?

And Roman - who weren't actually frame Rome.

Quite narked

She even spelt it with an "I"

Short of a giant neon sign I don't know what other signifiers she could have used.

LadyBeagle - I confess I am not looking forward to 56. It is the end of the airy 'erm, yes. I am in my early fifties'

Romani ite domum.

IT'S NOT MY BIRTHDAY.

but happy birthday pag
