Think you should go the whole hog on the Dale Winton front and go for the orange skin too!

I wish he would go and do supermarket sweep in iraq to entertain the troops. Preferably in a local hot spot where the militia are fighting over their readybrek.

I would agree that name-calling and being personally offensive is not on. It's also nice to read/hear about someone's happy life from time to time - but that's it, it's 'nice'. Life is a bit of a sh*t a lot of the time for a lot of people, wherever you are, and a standard coping mechanism is to resort to humour. Nearly all bad things are funny if you look at them in the right way (barring a recent death or similar, clearly) and I think the negative posters are simply finding the humour in the bad. It's a fact of life: good = nice, sometimes exciting for the persons directly involved; bad = laugh your socks off funny for anyone who chooses to take it in the way it is mostly intended. Billy Connolly did not get where he is today by talking about the joys of life.

And no, I am not comparing myself or any other poster to the Big Yin - he is (as we all are, I suppose) unique.

It should also be mentioned by way of reminder that finding the humour in the bad also brings a certain amount of exaggeration with it - making it all the more funny.

Insults to a person aside, I can't understand why people don't find things funny more often. Laughter is the best medicine, as the old cliche goes (of course, if you are genuinely happy all the time you may consider that you don't need any medicine - but if you are genuinely happy ALL the time, you are also a liar, and I'm not being personal).

I am not suggesting that happy people shouldn't say they are happy, just that all people should try to find the funny (read 'bad'/'negative'/ 'bitter' etc.) funny.

Not including pot luck dinners. They are not at all funny.

Ever.
