The Fish

the bit in bold is a good point. My dad used to be a copper and not only was a police diver, but also a traffic cop, so he saw some of the most horrific and harrowing things that the police have to deal with. He says that they would award the carcrash victims marks for style and such. But that was their way of dealing with the horror. When I asked him about this stuff he said that the emergency services make jokes and the like because they HAVE to deal with it regularly, but it's bang out of order for a member of the public to pass a callous remark just for kicks. obviously the emergency service only pass comment between themselves in private. Like I say, I've always been kind of morbidly fascinated by the relationship between tragedy and comedy. 163985[/snapback] i knew a lass who worked on the railways and they used to take the piss when there was a suicide or accident. Sounds a bit harsh but what are you supposed to do if you come across a chunk of bloody flesh wrapped in a bit of denim on a railway track? 163988[/snapback] that's a tempting set-up, but even I can't bring myself to try and crack a joke in this thread.

pretty fucking horrific. as an aside I've always been curious as to the acceptable length of time between a tragedy and a joke. disclaimer this in no way condones jokes made in poor taste at all, it's simply a thing that I find intriguing.

I only dislike insects that serve no purpose, like daddy long legs, wasps, hornet et al. spider eat flies, flies dispose of rotting things, bees pollenate flowers and make honey, pill bugs make Branston pickle and Caterpillars turn inot butterflies, which are... y'know... dead pretty and that

I left this page open and scrolled down so that Mark's was the only post that you could read.... anyone else read this as a random stream of conciousness? just take it out of context and it's probably one of the most random things I've ever read.

gotta be the most depressing thing I've ever seen. you fished it out and kept drinking though.. right?

Swamp Thing - The Grid Squeal-piggy-omatic

Outta Space- Prodigy love the Prodigy, just can't get enough of that heart pounding stuff

should be good tv

Wonka? heir to the confectionary giant's fortune?

Wandering lonely as a cloud?

Wist?

Didn't Rob spark the industrial revolution and therefore invented what we now know as "Work" (hence the "W" after his name)

wow, a real in-depth debate, the likes of which we haven't seen since Disraeli and Gladstone

cyclists. I fucking HATE cyclists. especially the contemptible knobheads who cycle with a chum (bound to be chums... sad bastards) two abreast.. and those fuckers don't pay road tax. oh and obviously Caravans are only bought by people too tight to pay for a hotel and too middle class to use a tent.

Did you know that we call it a Cod piece because your scrotum was once referred to as your "Cod" I will never again eat fish fingers which claim to be 100% Cod...

Ohhhh.... that man

which man?

I hate News reporters standing up. also, is it just me or are the BBC correspondents on some sort of commission for wearing the shittest ties they can find? is it a bet, like the 98 world cup squad.. they had to get song names into interviews without being found out?...

I agree with Meenz, it's not the fact it's 99 or 97, it's the use of nine nine or nine seven.. as if by removing the "ty" at the end of the first number we're suddenly financially flumoxed and will happily pay it safe in the knowledge we just saved our selves a tidy packet but to be honest I can't (off the top of my head) think of an advert which declares the prce of the product, which I didn't find entirely patronising and base

pretty much the same though special mention to some genuinely funny bits which escape the memory right now... but I know I laughed out loud a couple of times.

Anyone use that Windows Live messenger? I just downloaded and set it up, but it didn't automatically transfer my old hotmail messenger contacts...

so good they named him twice? 161348[/snapback] I was tired.
