Lets have a "what can we make up to take offence at" day.

Can I start ?

1) Bearded feckers wearing sandals and riding Marin's day
2) Religious zealot day
3) Jobsworth Day

…… and breathe!

Calm now?

OK

Lets carry on shall we?

What was the name of that bloke who ranted on here recently? Let me see now……messiah somebody or other……..

RudeBoy Day

That's him flash!

Perhaps we should have a RB Memorial Thread – 'Ad eorum memoriam Dibnah'

Says the man who screams BIGOT if anyone dares to criticise any aspect of Islam. 🙂

I think that was me Grumm. 😉

So what's this thread about anyway? Is it you getting offended at people who take offence, or being offended by people who take offence at other people taking offence?

Its about offending and offended and offering offence by being offended and bugger that ….. I want to know how grumm got on at Megavlanche… and remember this thread is nothing without pictures young man…

<sits back expectantly with arms folded>

Shall we have a grumpy old man "It was never like this when I were a lad" Day?

Oh yes excellent!

We could have a 'take offence by proxy' day

Where you'd nominate a race/creed/religion/gender etc. that you'd like to take offence on behalf of

Singlespeeders for the first edition, I reckon.

Good idea but I've just realised the flaw in my plan
Taking offence by proxy is already rife on here 🙂

Taking offence by proxy is already rife in the current government, Grauniad readers, and metropolitan wine-bar types.

I survived…

Nice one. I heard the new qualifier course was nutso.

I really liked the qualifier course – apparently they had put in a load of new berms, jumps and wooden bits. Still pretty rocky and technical though in places.

How about taking offence at someone (jokingly) expressing a preference for one sport over another?
Bizarre

What a truly edifying thread Dez, STW at it's finest. 😉

We seem to lurch wildly between revelling in the narcissism of small differences and a sort of vanilla-nazi insistence that any preference is wholly heretical. Woe betide he who judges the tide of opinion wrongly. 😀

Firstly : Total Respect to Grumm. Very cool stuff indeedy.

Spot on BD. Thats the point really, so how about a Lets not take ourselves too Seriously day??

Trouble is, what if there was a discussion about Nick Griffin, or the evil of gypsies, on Let's Not Take Ourselves Too Seriously Day. How would we handle it? Some cunning troll would start a thread entitled "The abolition of slavery: What were we thinking?! LOL" and we would be powerless to discuss the matter. 🙂

I see your point… reconsidering now

Personally, I don't need a day for Not Taking Myself too Seriously.
Maybe I need to grow up…

A take the pi$$ day featuring no holds barred wind-ups perhaps?

Maybe I need to grow up…

Bollox to that! I'm 42 and G I reckon used to play footie with Methuselah

18 'til I die….

Sorted ………

"I'm only taking myself seriously once today day"

Methusalahs Dad actually!

I'm with you tankslapper. Although I'm slightly older 🙂
