Yes, my other half would agree with you, but I prefer the term eccentric.:D

Oh and for some reason the site will not let me put ETH....an abbreviation of Ethel.....it changes it to the.

Round the Horne was positively filthy.

:eek:

Well if you understood the polari they used, it was.

:D

Re: Lost Humor or Age Gap
 

Well you see maybe I was too innocent to realise the true meaning of the humour......to the pure, all things are pure.......and I was only 11 when I used to listen to this on my old aunties Relayvision set( 4 programs only....rental at one shilling and threepence a week) :)

Re: Lost Humor or Age Gap
 

Don't worry.

I never understood the rudeness either.

As I listened, sat in my pram.

:D:dummy2::D

Re: Lost Humor or Age Gap
 

You know, I thought you would be far to young to have heard any of those programs.
The Glums wasn't a program as such, it was a section of the program Take it From Here.

My thoughts entirely Margaret, I could through my shoe at the telly just seeing his smug grinning face:mad:

Must be a generational thing, or at least have a generational twist to it John...seeing as we are of a similar era.

Re: Lost Humor or Age Gap
 

Actually I used to quite like Frankie Boyle on Mock the Week till people started slating him... also do like Dara O'Briain Andy Parsons and Russell Howard who all are or were on the same show. And I saw Marcus Brigstocke do solo shows here in Morecambe twice - Absolutely brilliant.

I find most current sitcoms absolutely dire and the one person I do not find remotely funny is Miranda Hart.

Can't understand why your computer will not allow you to say Eth, Marg. Ooohhh Ron!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Lost Humor or Age Gap
 

See it has changed Ethel into the for you too Sue!(I had to put the full name for it to come right)
I loved that program.

I don't know any of the comedians you have mentioned other than Frankie Boyle.
I have never seen Miranda Hart as a comedienne either. I do like her in Call the Midwife...but that is because she fits my imaginings of the character when I read the books.(me and my imagination!)

What about Mrs Browns boys, that has me crying with laughing sometimes but does contain a bit of bad language, it must be the irish accent it doesnt sound as bad:D

Re: Lost Humor or Age Gap
 

No, I don't like that either......himself watches it, but I have to say by the time my brain has translated the broad Oirish into understandable english....the laugh has passed and they are onto something else.........I must have had a sense of humour bypass while I was asleep....but I don't quite understand that if this had happened, why do Ma and I spend so much time almost crying with laughing when we go away?
And that Keith Lemon on Celebrity Juice....well I can't stay in the living room while that is on.......it is crude, coarse and makes me cringe with embarassment.

Re: Lost Humor or Age Gap
 

I have relatives in ireland so i must be pre programmed in me genes to understand the accent that and i have worked with quite a few good ol boys over the years:D

Re: Lost Humor or Age Gap
 

Ah well, that gives you a head start then......as I have siad by the time I have figured out what they are saying, the joke is lost. And no i'm not tick! :D

Re: Lost Humor or Age Gap
 

Swear words are just that, "words" I think it is more the intent behind the word that become offensive.

For offensive words what about, redundency, gone into administration, tax increase, waiting list. These words offend me more that someone depriving me of my parents:fire: although there has to be a time and place for it.

Oh dear, short Ethel was OK when I first posted the message. Wonder what's going on?
