You should all take a look at your sad selves.

Mandela dies... Rikkor is resurrected. Unconnected ?
Which post precisely for the less psychic amongst us ?

It's been pulled from the front page, Rikkor.

Rikkor, I wish I could 'like' this, or star it.

A well written piece, but wrong.

I see what the intention of it was, but it just came across as churlish, nasty and horrible, even if that wasn't the intention.

Rikkor, don't flounce. It's not all of us, just 1 inappropriate piece.

What happened? That actually went on the front page? What for, correct spelling? Putting it on the front page is a crass error of judgement, and we need to be assured that this kind of thing can't happen again. Has the personal responsible done the decent thing? Left the building? Been shown the revolving door and asked to experience 180 degrees of it? As for the writer, look pal, its single saving grace is it is incoherent. Go away and come back with a new name and pretend to be a newbie.

Apologies for coming late to this.

Not much, Dick. Outbreak of witless dorks straining their piles to do edgy and ending up with shit...I wish I'd never logged on.

Apparently this was FP for about 5 minutes last night and everyone got in a lather.

I didn't think it was that bad, maybe not a front page. Compared to the Thatcher stuff it was in fairly good taste. Its strange the reaction to Mandela's death in South Africa has been the same as it was here in many ex pit villages when Lady Thatcher died, lots of singing and dancing in the streets.

The newsthump one is racist.

I thought the story was making the point that unpleasant 'acts of god' seem to hit the most vulnerable (- in this case Africans) hardest. That good people and innocents die all the time, which makes believing in a 'just deity' very hard for some people.

Or did I miss something?

Wrenfoe - it mentions black people, that makes it racist doesn't it? I thought that was how it worked now.

I know it sounds weird but I kind of like it when the chat/writer's room explodes in the wake of what seems to be a controversial topic or story. It opens up some really interesting discussions about what is funny & why is it funny.

Mother in law jokes are funny. And making your eyes slitty when talking about Chinese people, that's funny too.

I took a good look at myself and established that I am a balding middle-aged git who never got enough minge.

As Tripod says, now what?

Don't run yourself down Oxy, let us do that for you. Look on the bright side: you've been to Salford and got on the telly, though admittedly you're not as famous as a certain bloke that owns an offy in the West Country.

I quite agree with nickb's assessment of my piece. It is, of course, quite wrong to write articles that try and satirise the deceased, particularly when they refer to Nelson Mandela.

Isn't that right?
