[Old_Geezer]

Only admin can say !

[chelle7272]

I don't think so - I got severely panned for mine, even after apologising. I now can't find it so assume it's been removed.

[DTCwordfan]

well here's a relatively tame one

A Costa cocktail?

Something Italian, on the rocks and plenty of water.....

[Postdog]

reported lol

[rojash]

I think you are getting confused. Jokes about such subjects are not non-pc, though some might find them in poor taste.

[DTCwordfan]

yes rojash maybe as to splitting hairs on definitions. To me, the captain is fair game, though I would say up-front references to those who have lost their lives is not.

[boxtops]

No, too soon yet, DT - they only just found another two bodies.

[DTCwordfan]

didnt know that......is that them all now, boxtops?

[DTCwordfan]

your turn to go awol on the avatar, boxtops....

[Slapshot]

Not sure....but I've sinking feeling we're about to get a list of them...;-)

[DTCwordfan]

Pas de moi, Slapshot.....

[Slapshot]

That's as far as I was willing to go DTC.... I have heard a couple of belters that would get me in Ab Editor's wee black book

[DTCwordfan]

And me too!

[rowanwitch]

Black humour after some tragic or unpleasant incident it just a human way of distancing ourselves from the uncomfortable feelings. I bet it happened after the Titanic and after the Hindenburg and probably after the eruption of Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii...

so bad taste or not it is probably a healthy response.

[888sally888]

Def bad taste

[SpikeyBush]

Oh come on, it was pretty soon after the Herald went over that the jokes started.

What is the similarity between the Herald of Free Enterprise and a used condom?

Both roll-on roll-off and full of dead semen

[craft1948]

I remember those Spikey........only the English could do it :-)
