As nobody seems to have mentioned it, although perhaps I am too lazy to look through other threads, there was a game of football played tonight in the United Kingdom. England took on Scotland for the first time in 14 years. It was a friendly and it was indeed played as a friendly, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the match, Scotland actually scored some goals and were leading twice! I had feared it would be a boring nil-nil draw or a landslide gubbing of us Scots but no, it was a fun, good natured match and it has been far too long since these 2 sides met each other. They also raised an awful lot of money for the Teenage Cancer Trust by playing this match, I hope it can be reinstated as an annual event as it was when I was a kid, there are many charities that can benefit. My favourite quote of the day was from a Scotland supporter in Trafalgar square he simply said "If we win, there will be a party. If we lose there will be an even bigger party but it will have been after 90 minutes of inconvenience."

Re Damons sig, he has probably saw this but Goodwillies miss at the weekend prompted

Those of us who stick around aren't morbid, on the basis of the bodies encountered at DLCons I'd say we're fairly well adjusted - ability to form relationships, hold down jobs, raise kids is fairly well established - so the common denomenators probably include some combination of intuition and intelligence (good for predicting deaths) and also the willingness to laugh at life's blackest moments. For me that grim humour has always been there; all the stronger from spending a lot of working time giving out (i.e. helping) others. Such friends as I've had in the medical professional etc often find the same things funny, and they're all the better at their jobs for being able to laugh at this stuff. Oh yeah, and I like the jokes and the people I've bantered with hereabouts.

And to answer your question, most comedians would rather have a kids' TV show than an adults one these days when it comes to BBC contracts as the pay is the same and there's a lot less interference from networks. Which is why "Horrible Histories" is utterly amazing and every single BBC3 show ever has been terrible.

Going by the complete lack of empathy for the dead and those close to them, a general fondness for lists and some of the neat and ordered member signatures, detailing every deadpool ever played, complete with team line up, who died and finishing position, I'd say we boast a greater proportion of those on the autistic end of the spectrum than your average family forum.

I like beer, I'm certainly a twat, and as I am a very overweight woman rapidly approaching 40 I probably have a hairy face as well. Now if we're comparing to Viz characters, I am the Fat Slags, Johnny Fartpants and Up The Arse Corner all rolled into one. I'm not as funny as I used to be, and I've never kissed that bird on the arse. Do I win £5? Apologies to those who don't read Viz, as this post will make absolutely no sense to you whatsoever.

I think one unifying theme among everyone here I have found is people beat to their own drum no one seems afraid to write something that might touch a nerve. People here seem to have strong opinions on things too more so than alot of other forums i post on. The closest forum i would say that is like this is something awful forums ( talking about humour and the type of people that post) but British are the minority on that site and its more centered around America and i stopped posting on their awhile ago as you need a subscription. This site (I maybe wrong) i think the majority are British (quite alot of Scottish ) so kind of enjoy the site alot more no offence to any american's haha . i like the fact this site has a UK feel to it and very uk centric there aren't many websites like that really to be honest. Alot of people might find deadpooling in bad taste but i think the people that post here can look past that and say there are worse things in life and we are not hurting anyone really.
