Very good Kilburn. You're an unusual character. You've certainly given this thread a bit of life that's for sure. Col, I'm not offended and I certainly don't mind people posting their opinions. But I have my opinion and I think its in poor taste that's all.
They need a sense of humour then!! Shows like "allo allo" and "faulty towers" are gloriously funny whilst poking fun at everyone, including the English!!
It would be in poor taste if I stood on a street corner and yelled to all and sundry that all Germans are Nazis or all Italians are cowards etc etc. I don't think anything of the sort.......but I can still laugh at posts like Northy's Italian tank etc!! You my friend are the worst kind of liberal........offended by everything and taking offence on everybody's behalf!! Get over yourself!!
You're seriously not comparing those two great British sitcoms to Kilburn and North's ridiculous attempts at getting a laugh from the mob are you? Bloody hell COL, they're not that good!
The only difference is the quality of the humour Swords........the principal is the same. If you're offended by Northy's tank then surely you're offended by "allo allo" poking fun at lots of different nationalities!!? Neither are supposed to be taken seriously FFS!
Of course you can. Never said you couldn't. But as I said, I'm not offended in the least bit despite you insisting I am! I just happen to think its jungle caveman stuff that I'd expect only from people that are a bit narrow-minded and well, a little bit thick if I'm honest!
I'm sure all of you must find this classic Fawlty Towers sketch just the slightest bit funny (not like the girl in pink)? If not, all I can say is, get a life! [video=youtube;f9BetL3rlZY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9BetL3rlZY&feature=youtu.be&a[/video]
As I've said before, you are the worst kind of politically correct fool!! Lighten up and stop taking everything so literally!!
COL, we'll just have to agree to disagree. I can't put things across very well so I'll leave it to a man who can:
Swords in a previous life... [video=youtube;hnTmBjk-M0c]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnTmBjk-M0c[/video]
This is SO over the top!! We are football fans, on a football thread, throwing about light-hearted banter. FFS!! Get over yourselves!!
You're a good lad Colly, not a doubt in the World about that. There's a fire in your belly. I like that. (Here's to England knocking the sh*t out of those dozy Wops )
It was a response to a post by someone who didn't even make the effort to understand what he had cut and pasted in an attempt to get a cheap laugh. I'll stick to light hearted banter from now on. Who's posting the photo of a mushroom cloud when we play Japan at anything? Swords isn't PC at all in my view - he just has an acute insight into the English and a curiosity into why we are so paranoid about foreigners. I feel myself slipping into the DT camp.........
