OK I carefuly read the various coments and assorted criticisms
and realised that I Let my Brit humo(u)r get a bit too far from the acceptable or as Mike
so eloquently put it
"doesn't sound appropriette here"
So having saved the whole thing for posterity
I have decided to agree with Madam Moderator
I now realise that I should not have posted my topic and have therefore deleted it. This posting therefore takes its place
I was just overcome by two very strange press reports on the same day and wanted to share the mirth I felt.
In my own defence though I did say
"Just trying to entertain you understand"
and I noticed more than one person who obviously got a chuckle or two from the two stories.
So would all those that I offended I would ask you to please accept my apologies .
Just for a change and again quite topical
I will refer you to a great satire site I found from a listing on Google News (UK edition) where amongst other things I read that allegedly
George Bush intends to run for the Pope's job and
that there is no truth in the rumo(u)r that Camilla's hat was made from a porcupine
