The only group of people who I found funny, without even trying, were my nieces in-law's from near Dublin. They were brilliant. I was still laughing at their remarks weeks after meeting them. Was that a regional thing, or are they genuinely funny.? I never found out. As a northerner I think our everyday humour can be a bit blunt and I am never sure if the tongue in cheek remarks are taken wrongly. I must admit I have seen 'jokes' on here that fail to make me smile, but then someone else may recount a situation that has just happened to them and I can't stop laughing. |

Gwynne Yet we can laugh together on here. If I watched Eddie Izzard with you for 10 minutes and Tommy Cooper for 10 minutes, would it really be light and shade for both of us. |

RR - I am a Virgo and I do not think I have troubled you and I have a good sense of humour. |

Timeless comedy seems to be slapstick and surreal. Seldom does that offend. |

British humour incorporates an ability to laugh at ourselves and a sense of the ridiculous which certain other cultures seem to lack. |
