Random Irritations

I’ve been to see him live a couple of times. He’s very funny. I genuinely don’t understand why you would watch his show if you are a bit delicate. Unless you were looking to be offended. He even references being cancelled in his latest show.

The first time we saw him was with my wife’s friend and her husband. The wife’s friend thought we were going to see Alan Carr. She wasn’t impressed ?

Why do you have to watch his or anyone elses shows to be offended?

Would it be funny if someone posted a joke about the Holocaust in the “Laughter Thread”

Nobody “needs” to look to be offended by jokes about the Holocaust, any normal level headed person would be without question.

Would you make a joke about those murdered by Peter Sutcliffe or the soham murders, really? There’s such a thing as common decency, and subjects that should always be off limits.

Would I make a joke? No. Would I stop others from making jokes? No.

Would I complain about them? No.

My point is you shouldn't stop any speech just because you don't like it. Just disagree with it and move on.

Just disagree with it and move on.

Unfortunately, mild disagreements seem to be a thing of the past

So it appears. Sadly in cricket I think it'll be a very long time before we are a force again, certainly at test level.

What’s worse is getting an email with “news about your ticket” so you get excited until you open your account and see £3.20

Beats my emails.

"You've won a lucky dip"

My wife.

Bit stressed recently, the girls a lot of work.

"Oh I need a break"

Always saying how she would love a hotel for the night , no kids just sleep and eat food

So I arrange childcare for the weekend to help me get them to bed, I book her into a hotel and spa

Looks like I'm canceling it now as she doesn't want to go

Litterally flabbergasted.

Believe me kiddo, women will always flabbergast you

The flabbergasting normally stops when you get married - or is that something else ??

When I start reading a thread and there are a couple of posters who are opinionated and I know neither will back down and it just becomes a ding dong battle. These were Brexit/ political in the past but now footie/ COVID/religion and a couple relating to golf.

There are perhaps 10 at the most, I accept it is a Forum and members are entitled to an opinion but sometimes it is a sign of strength to accept the other point of view which may not be the same.

I am not going to name names but let you decide!

They are a window into the future- be warned

Thats as maybe, however I won't be around when my wife is that age and that awkward and blind to the reality of their history

HID doing her "lets got to the garden centre for a look round - I just want to have a look. We won't spend anything" and coming home with a load of stuff and a dent in the credit card.

There is no such thing as “just looking” when women go to the shops.

There is no such thing as “just looking” when women go to the shops.

Or when men go to the pro shop.

I should know this after 20+ years of marriage but got sucked in. Got there and she was a woman possessed

As someone experiencing the garden centre wander for the first time this week - it's amazing how easy it is to spend! Mine was mainly seeds - didn't even look at the price but went by the pretty pictures! Through the till and no wonder she had a mask on!
