Goons in 'not understanding humour' shocker. The irony is ridiculous considering which website you're on too. :v:

To add something though, I really don't care what sex any of the presenters are so long as there's a bit of piss taking and joviality regarding challenges and such.

I'm not sure saying " I want to face gently caress someone" Is humour. More like a statement.

I'd like to skullfuck you and tell you not to post with your mouth full? See how that's not funny, like at all?

This is more because you can post while having your mouth full rather than the idea itself not being funny but instead of putting rude thoughts in your head about a mouth full of cock and someone trying to speak I'll just leave it there. *ahem* :bigtran:

Over 80 is "attempted vehicular homicide" or something, with the mandatory sentencing kicking in after 90. That way they have huge leverage in negotiating the charges down to massive fines in exchange for dropping the criminal charges.

...so if you were doing 81mph on a freeway which are places for cars to drive fast you'd still get charged? I forget what the limits are on freeways and poo poo are over there, it varies, right? Here's it's a flat 70mph with the only exceptions being 'smart' motorways which have massive lit signs above the lanes telling you the current speed.

I love Stewart Lee and that article was just so typically him, dude's a great writer, very intelligent and yes, a complete whiny old fart. It's what makes him so good. Look at all the people that adore Charlie Brooker despite his writing being sub-par...

Oh Jesus stop bitching about Lee. The bit about may being the alpha male in the group was hilarious. If you can't laugh at someone tearing down your idols then you probably can't take someone making fun of you which probably makes you a bit of a douche. I'm not saying you have to enjoy the act but to get upset about it is as stupid as, well Lee is about top gear, which is part of the charm.

English isn't my first language, so maybe I missed some subtle undertones, but from what I remember from that rant, he spent more time (fake-)asserting that he wanted him indeed decaptitated from that accident than what I'd consider funny.

...then it's obvious Lee isn't a comedian for you. And that's fine. Other people find it funny because that rant is just so loving long and detailed and over the top, it's almost a Poe's law skit because he doesn't actually mean it but he's saying it in such a manner that you honestly don't know whether he does or not.

OK, this baffles me., I've heard that term a lot over the years and don't understand it. Wouldn't Public School boys be less posh cos their parents cannot afford a private school education? I'm not trying to be funny or ironic. I just cannot figure it out. Private school kids here are the posh, public is paid by the government.

Public school relates to a bunch of ye olde very posh boarding schools for rich people. We also have private schools which are kinda the same thing but not as well connected, the differentiation being public schools are open to any race, colour, creed providing you have the cash but private schools can have rules about who they let in.

Regular-rear end schools are just known as schools, or state- funded schools.

You immediately assume everyone expressing an opinion against Stewart Lee is a frothing at the mouth lunatic hammering at their keyboard, when the only frothing at the mouth lunatic hammering on a keyboard I've seen in the last few pages was when I read that article by Stewart Lee himself. And then you smugly call out goons for reacting to a television show while fervently defending an unfunny dude whose only claim to fame is doing the exact same thing, only in the most incoherent and embarrassing way possible. And then when someone rightfully points out what a raging hypocrite you are, you smugly pat yourself on the back for trolling everyone so hard by throwing down the puppetmaster card.

You seem to be the only one here who is "wound up" dude.

You cut me deep, man.

What's that saying about arguing with someone whose opinion differs from yours? Tends to galvanise their beliefs, right? I'm not here to convince anyone Lee is funny because I fully understand that people's taste in things is different and that's cool, those who like him get to enjoy his drug-fuelled rantings about pop culture among other things and those who don't like him don't have to. Everyone wins.

The bit that was making me lol was the reaction to someone very few people know talking poo poo about something they like.

And I never claimed to be trolling or have pulled a puppetmaster routine, just stating that people getting annoyed at someone that doesn't matter is silly, trivial, inconsequential. To end, a cartoon;

I totally agree with you on this. I think Stewart Lee is pretty bad, honestly, but if people enjoy his stuff then that's cool. I wouldn't want to take that away from anyone, just like I wouldn't want to take away anyone's right to dislike him.

But you seem very concerned with people not liking Stewart Lee, and then you post a little comic saying it's okay to not like things. You can't have it both ways.

If you go back and read what I've tapped into this keyboard you'll find I've never stated people are wrong for thinking he's poo poo or are 'concerned' about it, more explained that the way he does things is the way he's done things for years and his form of comedy is rather dark, bizarre and over the top and you should just not let it bother you.

European beer buffs are well aware that the current craft beer trend started in the US

Yeah that's such a weird comment, I've been to a pub in Cornwall that's been brewing its own stuff since 1400 and that's most definitely a craft beer maker.

It's older than the USA... :P

The Blue Anchor is one of the oldest original Inns in Britain that continues to maintain a working brewery. Dating back to the 15th century, the Inn boasts 600 years of brewing! Originally a monks rest house, which produced a strong honey based mead, it now produces a variety of 'Spingo Ales' to traditional recipes.
