Dawn I agree that this forum is a pretty nice one. Told Lev as much and I appreciate that things generally remain calm and respectful except for the occasional odd flareup. I have found the community here a friendly and helpful one. Probably why that particular post irked me so.. .though I do understand the context better now thanks to everyone's help. (I can see it being part of a VERY funny skit with MP !)

Of course actually knowing the other poster(s) in person helps to put whatever they say into context. You know farang. I dont. That post had no context and I can not claim to have seen and memorized every Monty Python skit (Though I had a couple friends in the past who DID and could do them word for word ad nauseum!!)

JW thanks so much for the invite! I will take you up on it though not this weekend when I am off to the Big Mango for a day or two.

chas quoted 'people who complain about to much pc in this world are those never affected by it' Shocked

my first response to that statement is, as i live in the uk, i am severely affected by pc day in & day out & to be quite honest i am fed up with the constant whining of the so say minority groups.
i think thats the same story developing for the vast majority of citizens of the uk & the world as a whole & probably the main reason that migration from the uk, as an example, has hit a record high.
it doesn't matter what nationality, sexual persuasion, religion, colour, or creed you are, you are still an individual & you have the choice & the chance to make your mark.
it seems to many groups, & i am talking about gays & ethnic minorities in general, seem to thrive by jumping on the pc bandwagon.
society in general has become more tolerant, but only to a point. to dictate in an open society against the majority about what should & can be said or done will only alienate those minority groups further.
if people become offended & demand an apology for a post made in jest, which is how i saw it, then the future is quite bleak.
do we need censorship on such a futile topic?
unfortunately i won't be there for the next hhad bash but when i am back in hh at the end of nov/or early dec i will be happy to meet up & socialise with y'all, whatever colour, creed or sexual persuasion you are.

have fun Cheers

No comment. Speaks for itself I'd say.
