Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

I use the underground, i know people that work in liverpool street and im in and around the areas affected. As is practically everyone who lives in london.

And i laughed at DM.

ps i made my 'joke' on jenni's thread but since i didn't have the courage of my convictions i followed it up with lots and lots of smily faces an up sign and upbeat send off.

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

You can take our transport system but you'll never take our humour!

Luckily all my friends and family in London are ok.
But even so there's no point being in the dumps about it all.
It's tragic people have died, but we need to move and carry on.

Defiance is the word.

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

Sadly, I giggled at this. Sigh.

"desperate commuters take drastic action"

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

Nothing wrong with being scared, I was worried as well, just don't take the moral high ground simply because you had an 'almost'.

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

tbh, i am a little upset, i visited london just under 4 years ago! it could have been me on the top of that bus :(

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

Only two died on that bus apparently. Amazing.
I wonder if the driver saw who it was (he's alive).

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

apparently they were all due to go off in trafalgar square at 9:00am

but hell

that's what happens when you don't use a journey planner

[nursery rhyme] London Bridge is falling down, falling down....[/nursery rhyme]

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

way to follow topical events there champ

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

London Bridge can fall down all it bloody well wants, seeing how it's in Arizona.

Like, duh.

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

Funny enough, that's exactly what I was thinking when I first saw all of this :)

I think it's more traditional for the British to make songs out of their tragedies than jokes.


I agree with this thread though, honestly the best way through something like this is to laugh it off.

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

My dad, cousins and uncle worked there - my cousin just by liverpool street. I didn't try to think of any jokes, but somehow I got a sort of
<Tony Blair> Someone set us up the bomb!
<al Qaeda> All your base belong to us!
thing in my head.
-------
Edit: I didn't say it was meant to be funny :rolleyes:. It's because I was explaining the joke to someone who wasn't a heavy internet user in the last week.

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

usualy i am not abusive agains users
but i am damn close to a exception

lets keep it a dumb now
33 people have died
lots and lots have been injured

if you wanne joke, just walk upto a big guy in a pub in london and make one!

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

37 you retard, YOU DONT EVEN CARE DO YOU.

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

I don't know why i'm even writing this, because i know none of the people it's aimed at will understand. But i'll try anyway.

This thread isn't about mocking people's deaths, and injuries.

It's about the fact that if we stop people from laughing, from having humour, then the terrorists have already won.

it's not as if the thread isn't appropriately titled! what are people going to expect to find ?

Yes, today is a terrible thing, but if we allow it to turn our lives into ones where we only mourn, only express sadness, then the people who do such act's will do them more, knowing that they can disrupt our lives so much.

People aren't posting here to offend, or to be contraversial, they are doing it because if we cannot laugh, what is there left ?

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

you ever been to london?

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

I think its stupid how people try to pretend they are making jokes and laughing because otherwise the "terrorists will have won", when the real reason is probably because they are selfish cun.ts who dont really care about other people dying unless they happen to know them.

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

nice failed troll.

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

I was being serious. The reason I will personally laugh about something like this is because I dont really give a shit - I dont differentiate between 37 people dying of terrorists and 37 people dying in various car crashes. If I knew anyone who died personally then the last thing I would be doing would be making jokes about it, and I would be incredibly annoyed if anyone knew about my loss and decided to make a joke in my presence due to the complete lack of respect which it would show. I find it hard to believe that a lot of people dont really feel similarly, no matter how much that they pretend that their laughter is really because they want to fight terrorists by making humourous posts on the internet.

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

gordon. you're not really british though

you don'[t understand

i'd be laughing at weeks' first post even if my best friend had died. i admit i wouldn't be posting, but i would have smiled with my loss and my pain. we did it all the time in the war.

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

I've read this a couple of time now, and it still doesn't make any sense.

So, you quote Phil^, who wants the thread closed, but you appear to be complaining about the actual thread, but what exactly does

'lets keep it a dumb now'

mean?

Huh?

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

apparently mayor livingstone has already chastised the city

new york always does things bigger

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

michael howard has condemned the atrocity

saying it's killed half of the conservative voters in the city

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

he lies! there were a good few in the houses of parliment, so he can't have killed half of them.

Though it wouldn't surprise me if half the conservative party voted labour or lib dem or something.

that all the attacks were on public transport shows that congestion charging really does work

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

If one of my family members died, the last place I would be is on an internet forum.

And humour is one of the best things to deal with tradegy and grief anyway.

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

Stop posting.

PLEASE

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

Really now? Where do you get this info from? I was viewing a live webcam over Frafalgar square at mid day. Nothing untoward seen. Just less traffic, people walking around.

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

I like this thread. It made me laugh a fair bit and has given me some jokes to start passing around to friends and in work tomorrow.

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

yeah

i'd bet a tenner half of them were welsh ...

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

Not on here, not in real life. What's your point?

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

That's harsh :( What's wrong with living under the proverbial rock? :( I just said I don't really have a life. And was trying this sense of humor thing that most seem to be advocating.

The negrep was a nice touch too. Not sure what warranted it tbh :/ could you explain it to me?

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

your joke was actually the funniest one i've seen yet :up:

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

unfortunately i didn't get to neg rep you

"You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later."

you see.

but still, stay a while, i can correct that tomorrow.

Re: London Bombing jokes.
 

Humor is a natural reaction for many to a tragic situation.
Gallows humor.

I was in high school when Kennedy was assassinated. It was taken very hard and very personally by many Americans. I heard my first Kennedy joke within the hour. I laughed. I felt better.
