"sorry to bother you ladies and gentlement but i'm trying to get to a shelter for the night and just need a few more pennies to get a roof over my head for the night so anything yo can give me, jsut a few pence would be greatly appreciated, thank you ladies and gentlemen for listening"

the sound of hell is the silence from the thirty people in the tube carriage at THIS point...

"alright mate - buy the big issue? two quid cheers... there you go. listen - that's my last one: i don't suppose you'd mind giving it back to me, so i can sell it again, would you? only it's my last one and i can't get to the office before it shuts now, and i'm still a few quid short of the hostel..."

# oooooh, blimey.
If there are any scousers around, I'd duck if I were you.
(I helped save b3ta! supermoore: HUNG, Fri 1 Aug 2003, 18:56, archived)
# yes.
I'm not a scouser, but that's way out of order!
(I helped save b3ta! barnesy, Fri 1 Aug 2003, 18:59, archived)
# oh come on
it's no worse than a lot of stuff here.
(martian, Fri 1 Aug 2003, 19:00, archived)
# yeah, maybe not
but jokes about Hillsborough are hardly pleasant

edit - and also yeah, it's not like the rest of the challenge/board is in good taste either!
(I helped save b3ta! barnesy, Fri 1 Aug 2003, 19:01, archived)
# That's true,
but I know how personally scousers take it. If koit or no.6 were around I imagine they'd have something to say about it
(I helped save b3ta! supermoore: HUNG, Fri 1 Aug 2003, 19:01, archived)
# well
its no worse than WTC stuff. not that that is saying much
(I helped save b3ta! Spoon, Fri 1 Aug 2003, 19:04, archived)
# I agree wholeheartedly.
I'm just saying never, ever, make a Hillsbrough joke around a scouser.

Trust me.
(I helped save b3ta! supermoore: HUNG, Fri 1 Aug 2003, 19:07, archived)
# that's why
I'm defensive about it, 'cos I work with a load of scousers. But Martian's right - I normally try not to pay much attention to things I might find offensive on here. Probably should have done so then too!

# that amazing sense of humour
they are always telling everyone they have, suddenly fails

# spectacularly.
I've seen people glassed for it. I kid you not.
(I helped save b3ta! supermoore: HUNG, Fri 1 Aug 2003, 19:12, archived)
# that's true
but if the parents of jessica and holly were boarders, we wouldn't have posted owt to do with that. and if anyone here had lost someone to shipman, we'd not be allowed to touch that (although my ex-landlord shared a practice with him).

all i'm saying is, you're going to see some things on here - not porn or scat or owt - that you find distasteful. the best thing is to ignore it.
(martian, Fri 1 Aug 2003, 19:05, archived)
# I agree with this also.
I never said it was out of order, just that scousers weren't going to like it one bit.
(I helped save b3ta! supermoore: HUNG, Fri 1 Aug 2003, 19:08, archived)
# i think then it's your duty to stand up for sp3ccylad
when the scousers come shouting.

i'm off home now.

# Well the compo wasn't...
"Regrettable Special Offers that happen to be in decent taste"

Or it would be a pretty shit compo...

Edit: Or a very short one.

# Fair comment I reckon.
Without breaking taste barriers we wouldn't have comedy. Brass Eye Paedo Special anyone? Keep 'em coming Speccy.
