Lol, Bev. I guess we can all get a bit silly about some things. I just love a good joke and hate to see people get offended over things that are funny. I would never hurt anyone's feelings if I could help it and some care should be taken, but a joke is a joke. Susan

Susan I am sorry but you are too adult for this site, a lot can't cope with reasonable things like that...pmsl Bev

Didn't see the joke, but I have to say we are losing the ability to laugh at ourselves. People are getting seriously offended at 'blonde' jokes, 'irish' jokes and jokes about all the funny things that men and women do. The only time I have complained was directly to the person that posted a thread which contained a word in the title that touched a raw nerve and that of a few others. The poster apologized which was unnecessary and changed the title. I then joined in the thread which was hilarious. Easy fixed. Susan

Could some one PM it to me please?? That surely can't offend any one else can it?? Bev

Missed it LLC! Very interesting Tracey what your mate said, Caz xxxx

I noticed your thread disappeared when I was typing a reply to it! In fact I did wonder whether your joke would be considered offensive as it mentioned the M---- word. However, I'd heard that joke before - surprisingly from the lips of a good Muslim friend of mine! She has never worn the Niqab and peronally wears a simple head veil. I was astonished to hear HER tell that joke and she explained that just because she is a Muslim, it didn't mean she had no sense of humour. Her argument was that the media's second-guessing of what may offend her and imposing a censorship was actually making life more dangerous for her and her family than the joke itself. She admitted she was fed-up with being seen as a threat to free-speech simply because of her religion. Her views certainly made me think!

didn't see it? was upstairs getting changed. You never offend! catherine xx

perhaps I need a sense of humour by pass on the NHS

Didn't see it, but wish I had! - I'm always behind the times Jay

I have had a joke zapped too - it was only about a bodily function - just wonder why folks cant send you a pm and say it offends rather than reporting you to GR - such a shame. Anyway it wasnt me. Mary in Spain xx

I just heard it, and I LOVE IT! lol

Nope not me. I didnt get to read it...

...didn't offend me love....

I didnt see it,it wasnt me.

What Faith? I missed that one. lol Message me it. I thought you meant the firework one.

or maybe somebody from that faith is on here tracing their family. It was not ment to offend which is why I said it was a joke in the title. Anybody with a mobile will probably receive it in the next few days anyway as it is doing the rounds LOL

I thought it was Brilliant Lol C x

Not me, I found it quite funny. Unless.... You think some div on Genes actually done it? lol
