tamthebam Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Comedians (mainly from down south) poncing up to the Fringe with a "work in progress". Naw, try out your shite material in a Working mens' club on a wet Wednesday in Wigan, not at one of the world's biggest festivals. Flogging your tatty crap to the Jockos and then going on a tour of England with the finished product. We should bring back the spirit of the Glasgow Empire- "the English comedian's graveyard". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morecambe and Wise/Mike and Bernie Winters (the story is told about both pairs). Ernie or Mike comes on, does a little dance routine to total silence. Then Eric/Bernie appears and a voice from the balcony says, "Oh, Christ, there's two of them!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like calling Aberdeen fans sheep when very few have been caught at it in the fields of the Shire. Name the guilty men... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they feel the need to mention it? There are sadly frequent examples of the word being used as a sectarian slur rather than solely for footballing terms. It's undeniable. It's certainly not something I tend to do but of course the weight and history of certain terms leads to them being more emotive. I think most people would acknowledge that the "n word" and "midget" certainly have differences. Funnily enough I got pulled up by someone in the politics section for saying what you said! Aye, midget doesn't have an "n" in it and the n word has twice as many "gs". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard an interview on the radio earlier, the athlete was asked how he won the race, I was hoping he would say "because I was quicker than the others" , but no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio 5 Live’s coverage of current affairs can be decent at times but I’m afraid to switch it on just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
