offal giving some of you lot some stick

[Logicalman]

Well, looks like that prat OW took the bait and actually posted my last reply on a new thread. I just hope they keep promoting this site for us, you couldn't pay for that level of publicity!!!!

With respect to the possible 'racist' element of the said thread, jokes can be funny, just as long as we can take the same jokes being posted on here about ourselves.

Mr RR Mr Finn and I have no problems that I am aware of, it was the thread re Italians that has really rattled the idiots on the Offal and given them some PC ammunition, I am like Finn I think Irish, Italian or any jokes about other races are ok as it seems now days the only people who can make fun have to be that race themselves, ie all the black comedians doing the black jokes.

English, mate, English. But with Irish blood on my granny's side, hence my Irish name. I guess I can blog for both England and Ireland then  :D

I don't think there's a joke, English or Irish that have ever offended me.

All good. I wrote that with a smirk really, because on the offal the discourse would have gone another direction. You two handled it well.

I just wonder why I never read any American jokes? I want to hear them!  :)

Irish jokes were only invented to make the English seem intelligent , I think they failed badly.

This whole tiff is all a bit silly but fun to watch from a distance. I think you boys here should just ignore it, they seem genuinely angry about this web site. It's kinda funny yet it also makes me cringe a bit, to see things getting too serious.

Where have you been? Fred was speculating a week or so ago you had abandoned us a left for Toffee Talk since Landon arrived up north.  ;)

ha ha toffee talk, no seriously is there such a place... no no I'm a white til I die or fulham have no more yanks, whichever comes first. All kidding aside I've been around, but have been keeping busy. When things slow down again, I'll be back in force.

I like Logicalman's post summarising each state in a line....perhaps we can do the same with the English counties.

I'll start with Yorkshire...

"You can always tell a Yorkshireman.....but you can't tell him much....."

Somerset: The home of Dicken Cider

A thread that involves 220. Jack Tizzard  and The Ostrich watch.. doesn't carry any credibility.. 

All got their own agendas  and axes to grind...

They can keep their very sorry, bordering on embarrassing Cottage Corner...

If it keeps them happy...  Good luck to them...
