STAY AWAY From BEACHES!!

[BitOfFun]

I witnessed totally disgusting behavior on the beach today. A man and woman arguing in front of a load of kids then she smacked him one on the head and it all kicked off between them, the police turned up and the policeman ended up using his baton on the bloke but the man actually managed to get the baton off the copper and started hitting the copper and the woman with it.
Then a crocodile turned up and stole all the sausages....

Think you are confusing me with someone else. You've obviously missed my multiple posts praising school teachers who've done so well starting up again.

You’re all being REDiculous!

That's made me laugh, and I needed to laugh today.

Best thread title + OP for months. More like this please!

What is wrong with these puppets people?

@Musicforsmorks

You’re all being REDiculous!

I dispair, I really do.

Nice one, OP

I expect people are FUMMING

@ElizabethMainwaring

Bonsaidragon. It was a joke!

OK. Bit of a weird one, I don't get it

Bonsaiddragon Are you from the UK?

It is in reference to a Punch and Judy show, a firm fixture of British seaside resorts in years gone by.

No, which probably explains a lot.

Bonsaiddragon That probably does explain it.

Punch and Judy is typical British slapstick comedy with puppets, lots of hitting each other over the head -Punch and Judy are husband and wife and then there is additional characters. So the OP was talking about a typical story rather than it being an actual real situation.

This is exactly why no-one gets the British sense of humour, we are very strange (and probably very unfunny)

Right. Yes, I am failing to see the humour in that. I think you had to be there to appreciate it, yes?

. They were traditionally performed for children at the seaside.

Sorry but I hated Punch and Judy as a kid still do.

Right. Yes, I am failing to see the humour in that. I think you had to be there to appreciate it, yes?
Well nobody was there because it didn’t happen. Or do you mean they must have had to have seen a puppet and Judy show in the past?

I mean if you haven't grown to adult seeing the shows they seem odd watching them. The video was interesting to me but why would it be acceptable now to laugh at this ?

Yes that makes sense @bonsaidragon.

That's why they've fallen out of favour- changing times, thankfully.

I posted it as a silly wind-up though - I am not endorsing domestic violence as entertainment, clearly .

Ah, mumsnet.

Made me laugh and I needed a laugh!

I'd find it funny if it'd been my culture, I can see why it's funny but it's not funny to me if that makes sense.

Of course. However, this thread's been a bit like taking a bicycle apart: it doesn't go back together easily once it's been broken down into its component parts.

Thank you OP this made me laugh, not just your initial post but the follow ups being outraged and taking it seriously 😂

Fucking crocodile owners not keeping their damn crocs on leads, bet they didn't pick up its shit either
