[Margaret Pilkington]

I must, somewhere along the way, have lost my sense of humour.
I find most of the supposed comedians contrived and so far up their own rectums, that seven men with miners' lamps would never find them.

The only one that I can tolerate is John Bishop....and I have to be in the right frame of mind for him too.
I do not like bad language.....if something has to rely on foul or coarse language to make it funny, then it never was a topic of humour.

And it is Ok talking about Canterbury Tales and such like things.......That language was the language of the day. But surely we have moved on. I think that some of these stand up comics use bad language for its shock value(except that after a while, it loses its shock value because we have heard it all before)......much as they use some of the crass and insensitive topics for the same reason. They remind me of 12 year olds who don't know any better.

If you hit your thumb with a hammer, trap your finger in a door, burn yourself on the iron...then an expletive is acceptable as a release of tension.

Swearing is not entertainment....and if it is on TV, I leave the room.

So I guess I am in the old fuddy duddy camp.
