Does that make me a bad person?BTW is this a ticker yet?

offlineMemberThanks very much for the favourable comments and legal debate, everyone. Perks, I'll send you a new screen with a fresh joke pre-installed in a few weeks.
I still hope this gets used. Stan - I don't think the top ten updates very fast - my Rafa Benitez one's still on there. Maybe it's Country Fresh all over again and I have to pad it out into a NiB, but that would be crap.

Just install a few cattle-grids at all airports and railway stations.

Whose bright idea was it to take this genuinely snort-inducing sub and turn it into such a lame, diluted version of itself?
It's like homeopathic humour - the more you dilute it, the less funny it becomes.

offlineMemberI wash my hands of the whole sorry affair. Quite interested to know who changed the ticker though, as it's probably someone on here who's usually really funny. I don't think anyone at newsbiscuit towers really got the image, which is a desperate Pistorious up to his knees in cattle grid, with his blades dangling futilely below...
Anyway, bollocks, as truebiscuit would say. It's only a ticker.

initially I cheered when I saw my Pryce fruitbat ticker roll up then the word 'cattlegrid' pop up after - then I saw yours had bin changed.
They left it too late for yours to be relevant as bail had already been granted (I am guessing that is why it got a hasty remake). Shame.
