Default Didn't it used to be funnier here?

Or am I turning into an old fart. ?

There used to be threads that really did make me literally LOL.

Haven't had that in a while.

Anyway, if you haven't heard of this site:

www.newsbiscuit.co.uk

Give it a read, you'll have a laugh. There is quite a few stories on there that crack me up.

Latest one that made me laugh was this

http://newsbiscuit.com/category/arts-and-entertainment

But there used to be stories and witty and clever feedback way better than that on here. What happened?

Yes it did but that was in the old days and yes you're officially an old fart. It'll pick up again, it always does but it will never seem as funny Be assured you still make me laugh even if you don't mean to

Yeah I was the funniest poster wasn't I?

Those Bix and Soapy people weren't funny at all.

Seriously, it could be I don't know the new posters so well, and I have no time to spend on this forum, cos I've got these two damn 'tile rats' (

Dunno, just don't get the laugh I used to get.

What about Vim? Maybe it's cyclical but it does seem a bit dour since his dismissal.

Oh yeah, what was I thinking!! Good ol' deadmeat.

Vim, formerly Deadmeat, was my favourite. Great humour, made me laugh out loud a few times at his posts.

He is only temporarily dismissed, he'll be back, hopefully having learnt a lesson.
It's just one of those dips, happens regularly, you should know that........before long we'll have people whinging about "too many funny threads, no-one is serious anymore....."

Then it will be the 'it's so nasty in here these days, everyone seems so cruel' before heading back to the 'god it's boring here these days' I think it's time I went to bed

You also have to be careful starting anything funny or sarky cos you will get the PC anoraks saying your being offensive to blah blah or bullying or some such crap!!!

OK.... Lets think of a funny thread then.....
