Grunt Work

Quote from: Mr Trumpet on September 12, 2024, 10:51:11 AMThere was an elderly nutter who used to write this sort of thing and post it to the local paper when I was a kid. It was the only reason to bother reading the Winchester Extra as far as I was concerned.

All the nutting talk made me read that wrong.

Quote from: phes on September 12, 2024, 06:03:30 PMDoes he not understand that most obsessive twitter users are white men

Or that everyone on his brave unleashed comedian tour of three venues in Ireland is a middle-aged white man? With shit shoes.


I don't understand "I live in London".

Wasn't tonight's Dalkey gig supposed to take place in Finnegan's? I popped in there, one side of the pub was reserved but no sign of Glinner.

Might have been either trapped in the corner or on his toilet patrol route?

Perhaps!

Hmmm, I'm thinking this may have taken place at the Dalkey Duck up the road.

Comedy Unwheeshed.

lee hurst there. suspended from twitter twice, once for a sexual remark about teenager greta thurnberg, and the second time for inciting violence against chris whitty

Kankurette

Linehan: complains about how all the people attacking Katherine Birbalsingh, who is a black woman, are white
Also Linehan: complains about people wondering where there were no black characters on Friends

So is racism bad or not, Graham? (Also, I did a double take when I saw Jennifer Aniston, almost didn't recognise her before THAT haircut.) There is nothing wrong with what Goldberg's saying.

So, they had 24. Interesting.
I mean, if you like numbers and counting.

fuckin hell



although that is the closest I've seen him to acknowledging the name of the one IDF hostage he keeps a frame of on his phone to post in order to win arguments against "NPCs"

Kankurette

Nothing says feminism like posting a photo of a raped woman as a gotcha, right, Graham?

That wretched cunt condemns the BBC constantly, somehow doubt he's handed back a penny of his They Think It's All Over earnings.

Man, if you actually read the article he isn't 'attacking' anything. He's answering a specific question in a very honest and nuanced way, it's not even specifically about Friends but about the culture of American TV in the 1990s. I do think Graham seems particularly aggressive these last few days, I think it's cus he's on the road, probably getting lots of drinks bought for him getting shit faced and not having his usual distractions staying at his Mum's.

Fewer anti-trans tweets from are graham in the last 24 hours. Maybe the tide is turning! Let's have a look:

  • Criticism of Israel is inherently anti-Semitic
  • Horror at the deluge of immigrant violence in Ireland
  • Police assaulting a protestor wearing a keffiyeh is A-OK
  • Colonialism is good because the stupid third worlders would only be smashing up their historical treasures anyways
  • Hoorah! Another death in the middle east

Quote from: king_tubby on September 12, 2024, 01:55:56 PM'African' music. Cos from Mali to Egypt, Ethiopia to Senegal, it's all the same isn't it?

"African Music" is just a signifier for "trendy music for trendy ponces", transported from the 80s due to lack of any cultural progress by the author

Quote from: Dog Botherer on September 12, 2024, 03:10:57 PMam i going completely mental or is she doing a gender swapped Moss from IT Crowd cosplay? where do the headbangers land on that?

To be fair, I don't think they have a problem with fancy dress

Quote from: Better Midlands on September 12, 2024, 03:46:46 PMI live in London



I don't understand the point he is trying to make here

BennyHedgehog

This is what he's replying to



I think the rule is that even if it isn't true that he's living with his mum, the fact that it's believable is Graham's fault.

phantom_power

Ah. Most self-respecting people would probably ignore that and not boast about not living with their parents and living in the nation's capital, ACTUALLY

If I ever go to Dublin I'll have to make sure I never spend a cent in the venues that have put these cunts on.

Terry Torpid

I wonder about all these various anti-woke, un-PC, no snowflakes allowed, uncensored comedy shows. What's their limit? I mean, if someone went on stage and had a Michael Richards-esque meltdown, throwing around the N-word, would the promoters draw the line?

Jumblegraws

I don't know where they'd draw that particular line, but they've certainly put their foot down when it comes to criticising the organisers and the regular contributors, as Alisdair Beckett-King and Will Franken both found out.
