Ok thanks. I suppose, I could watch it on catch-up, or, no doubt, find it on Youtube, if I particularly wished to be offended, but, I think I will forgo that pleasure.

Seems some people go looking for things to be offended by.

All subjects people can be made into a joke.

The art is to be not offended if you're the subject.

Even more of an art is not to be offended on behalf of others. As a lot of people on here clearly struggle with that 🙂

Each to their own. Next time I want a lecture on Brian's personal standards in humour I'll let you know.

I'm not sure you quite get how internet forums work. Or humour, for that matter.

But what?

The ellipsis serves to leave the reader to fill in the blanks.

I'm sure you can make up your own woke/non-woke punchline.

You've gone back to being condescending I see. If you dont like what I post don't lecture me, just report it. Oh hang on...😃

When I first posted on here someone else said they were offended by what I said.

What is that saying 'offense is taken not given'

Just because someone is offended doesn't mean they're right.

I don't care if someone else is offended

Just trying to help you develop an appreciative audience, which at the moment seems to be a total of one MAGA person. If you don't like other people commenting on your sense of humour here, you could always keep it under wraps, or find a forum where they appreciate it.

Well quite. There is no divine right not to be offended either.

Also it does seem that those who take offence easily think that they an tell other people what they can and can't say - as you saw about with Brian's attempt to lecture me on what is acceptable humour. I almost found it offensive

They can comment if they want, and I can respond to them as you can see. Now less of the telling me what to do because it doesn't work.

Ricky Gervais cover's it perfectly

You can say anything you like, of course. And other people can make up their own minds about what you've said.

I've not told you not to say anything, but trying to help you understand why people aren't laughing (and why the mods weren't either).

You're free to say what you like... as am I, BTW.

I know there are easily offended wokies who won't find my sort of humour funny. Like you in this case. That's just tough.

I was a bit concerned about the recent glut of new arrivals but it's reassuring to see that things seem to be pootling along much as they ever did. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
