Bernard Manning has died...

[beansprout]

And while I respect the grief of his family and friends, he's frankly no loss to the rest of us.

Good night.

I like you UCM, I always have!!

But - I am one of the nastiest and most universally loathed people around here, so don't get too comfortable

Desi lots of peoplee look like him (my dad does a bit) that means nothing, nobody accuses hijm of being racist. Taht's because he is not.

Even if you dont believe racism yourself, making money by the means of racist jikes promotes it to other people.

Carson said that there are no funny comedians now. WRONG. what he really needed to say (or shoudl have been subtitled across the bottom of the screen) was that nobosy likes me any more. There are loads of funny poelpe out there- that's why we don't need the not funny ones.

Don't worry greeny I like her as wel and she (I hope) knows that

You never made those fucking frogs and if you tell me you did, I will...... I will........stick my fingers up at you

goddamit. I made those frogs and more besides!!!!

I am a sugarcraft freak, I MAKE SUGAR ROSES, no-one on MN seems to absorb this fact no matter how much I advertise it!!!!

and I concur totally with lockets

We are being tactful Greeny

Ok calm down

Shame I cant introduce you to MIL, was Womand Own cake decorator of the year, and runs classes

'cept she gave it up martyr like when FIL left. never understood that.

I can't believe whether he was racist or not is even up for discussion! Compare Bernard Manning to what Jade Goody said in Big Brother if you're not sure.

I can understand that

That was about peachy's mil btw

Has anyone seen Jimmy Carr stand up?

Oooh, Aloha almost being slightly a bit bitchy

I have worded several emails to you and deleted them, please bear with me and not be all offended when I finally send one....[numpty emoticon] (it is taking me a lot of time to get my head around ds1's oddisms and adorabilities).....

Sidles up to Greensleeves, look luv, can we come to an agreement, you scratch my back (I know you can) and I will give you a Gorilla!

Really cammelia? Just semed to me odd she would give up something she loved- as if to punish him. her choice though I suppose

I was thinking more along the lines of her feeling it wasn't worth it, like maybe depressed?

I already like you UCM, don't pushitt

Ah I see camelia, yes probably that unfortunately.

Well it's twice the size of a monkey which is 500.00, think about it.

The only condition is you mustn't tell anyone. Right?

Well, anyway, Jimmy Carr tells a Gay joke and laughs it off as a joke. IE. he doesn't mean it. It works, we know he doesn't mean it. I wonder how this is different. I don't know as I'm not too aware of Manning's style of joke telling.

Well, I shall mourn his passing.

Neither I, nor Bernard Mannimg, are racist.

If you don't take the joke, that's your loss.

But if you live on a council estate, where white kids are getting at you for your colour, then humour is the only way.

And that works with both sides.

And I speak from experience.
