| 123206 | 2003-02-24 05:59:00 | Dot_com, and others I believe it is not humour that is the problem on F1, but the lack of humour. Most true geeks understand that the written version of something said in jest is not always taken as it is meant. Also, like anyone you have known for a while, you can get away with a bit of a dig without usually causing offence. I don't think anyone deserves a large dose of the flamethrower, even if they are rude about a company or a product, if you disagree, fine. When people want help to commit an act of piracy or idiocy, it is hard not to be less than gentle with them. We must all keep our sense of humour, and if we must introduce some, no matter how sad, it would help if it was coupled with a useful answer - if it is in a thread that needs a useful answer. I admit I have been guilty of making light of some things myself, perhaps too often, but we do need to now and again, especially when things have turned to custard. Here endeth the sermon. Next service is Thursday. robo. PS Keep it up, most of you. Things are pretty busy here but going pretty well (when the server is up, of course) |

| 123207 | 2003-02-24 08:58:00 | OK fellow PressF1'ers, Now that nearly everyone has had their say,lets get a bit more "humour"back into place!! Subject: Paddy Saddam Hussein was sitting in his office wondering who to invade next when his telephone rang. "Hello! Mr. Hussein," a heavily-accented voice said. "This is Paddy down in the Harp pub in County Sligo, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you." "Well, Paddy," Saddam replied, "this is indeed important news! How big is your army?" "Right now," said Paddy, after a moment's calculation, "there is meself, me cousin Sean, me next door neighbor Seamus, and the entire dart team from the pub. That makes eight!" Saddam paused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have one million men in my army waiting to move on my command." "Begorra!", said Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back!" Sure enough, the next day, Paddy called again. "Mr. Hussein, the war is still on! We have managed to acquire some equipment!" "And what equipment would that be, Paddy?", Saddam asked. "Well, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy's old farm tractor." Saddam sighed. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 6,000 tanks and 4,000 armored personnel carriers. I've increased my army to 1.5 million since we last spoke." "Saints preserve us!", said Paddy. "I'll have to get back to you." Sure enough, Paddy rang again the next day. "Mr. Hussein, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We've modified Harrigan's ultra-light with a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four boys from the Shamrock pub have joined us as well!" Saddam was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 1,000 bombers and 2,000 fighter planes. My military complex is surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites, and since we last spoke, I've increased my army to TWO MILLION!" "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!", said Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back." Sure enough Paddy called again the next day. "Top o' the mornin' Mr.Hussein! I am sorry to tell you that we have had to call off the war." "I'm intrigued," said Saddam. "Why the sudden change of heart?" "Well," said Paddy, "we've all had a long chat over a few pints, and there's no way we can feed two million prisoners." Cheers,Kiwitas,;-) |
