Wasn't directed at you, just a general outpouring against the 'knockers' so to speak. I thin it is undisputed that the stories aren't exactly highly sophisticated humour.

Pollyana

Err - sophisticated? Hit that one right on the head Jayr! No way! You try typing sophisticated humour with the boss approaching your desk! Help!!!
Even funnier when you've actually met some of the people on the side, and are visualising them in their story roles!
Pure fun, killing time while waiting for the next step of the visa/emigration process.

Hi guys
I agree that sometimes our sense of humour may seem a little warped, to the uninitiated. To many who are just dipping in and out of the forum, they wouldn't know who we are talking about, or why we refer to certain things. However, there are a lot of informative posts for those who are looking for that.

Not that long back, this forum would often dissolve into slagging matches, now we all tend to have a laugh instead. Some of the people that would get offended, or cause offense have left and a number of people have started posting since then. Perhaps we've all gone a bit silly for a couple of reasons; the stress of the wait/ adjustment to life in Aus and a reaction to how unwelcoming the forum was before.

Amusing though Paul, that you couldn't resist dipping into the story thread to see what we were up to. Hope you weren't offended.

Would make a fantastic surreal film though wouldn't it! The sort of thing you watch through a haze of alcohol very late at night!

Larissa

WBB

Pollyana

Welshboybilly - What I was wondering (at 2am through the proverbial haze of alcohol) was - if you ever catch the sheep that is gambolling through your posts, what will you post then.....??!!!

WBB

now now dont get me excited.

Pollyana

Oh go on, get excited, the whole weekend ahead of you - so many things you could do with yourself,.....and what will you end up doing? Dreaming of sheep!!!
Why Australia welshboy? Surely NZ would be more in your line???!!!


(and I'm allowed to make sheep jokes remember - I've got Welsh blood too!!

Larissa

Welshyboy - I'm getting seriously worried about you... I'm beginning to think that you might not be joking about the sheep thing after all.
:lecture: Don't forget to take your pills from the doc. they might help.

WBB

have you ever been to wales larissa?

such a depressing hole if you lived here you would chase sheep too

and as i have said many times b4 we shag em you eat em :scared:

WBB

and by the way i meant to say this poll you have run clearly shows that the humour on this site is enjoyed by the majority of those who have voted and long may it continue.

we need a story tonight me thinks, i have a bottle of wine and a crate of lager ready so it could get interesting.

Larissa

Ha ha! That's where you're wrong! I don't eat 'em! Yep - need a good laugh tonight!

WBB

but you must drink water..................and fish f**k in it

Pollyana

Well I'm in for a really tough weekend - have to empty the fridge and kitchen cupboard, and I seem to currently have 6 bottles of wine and 40 cans of various lagers, oh, and 3 large bottles of cider! So I guess I might have to have a drink tonight......get working on a storyline someone! Maybe Paul99 would like to join us??
