Its a Game of Thrones reference. There was a story told in the last ep about a chap who used to smash beetles all day long and the guy telling the story made a noise to represent it - khuu khuu - the guy in the pic is supposed to be George RR Martin who wrote the books. So the cartoon speculates Georgie was talking about himself when he wrote that, which would be kinda cool, although not funny.

I thought it was funny.

Got 2 thanks in the short time that it was up, so am assuming at least 2 others thought it was funny too.

Bad taste maybe, but 'not even slightly funny' is stretching it.

Humour is subjective. What's appropriate for the forum is less so.

I don't mind people thinking I am 'inappropriate' as long as they are not accusing me of being unfunny.

If it was 'inappropriate' then that is fine, but like you say humour is subjective.

If anyone was 'offended' on the subject's behalf well there is not much can be said about that.

Not sure if the subject spends much time on this forum either so doubt there was any risk of him being offended by my post (or motivated by the original either).

In the context of the thread, your pic and comment was unfunny. That's not necessarily a comment on humour, but one of taste.

Either way, it's semantics. And your comment about the subject not being on the forum is just digging a hole for yourself. I'd suggest you just drop it now, and move on.

I think it was said in the GoT forum that the speech wasn't in the books

At least on this side of the Atlantic, we have the good sense to ban advertising of prescription medicines. That way the 'disclaimer' part of ads over here is merely "Remember the value of your investments may fall as well as rise".

Ah yes! I know the one. I just never linked the two together, largely because I had no idea of the comedians performing it, which meant that the names meant nothing to me!!

When I click on YLYL, it brings me to the last post straight away.

When I click on Photo't That Shook the World, it takes half the day skipping around posts before it will settle. Anyone else have this problem?

Probably due to the amount of posts that have to be deleted in PTSTW.

I've come across the same list for years on the internet, and it definitely seems American to me.

Well, apart from the Mayo reference!

But, really, the reason I said it was bull**** is that the Dept of Ed are not in the habit of releasing such details from LC exam papers after the fact.
