Hi Bob, yes you are cright, it has been deleted.

Ann of Green Gables commented on it a couple of days ago . it was followed by some jokes but even that thread seems to have been deleted.

I don't think that GR did it on their own as they do not normally monitor thread content. but they may have done it following a complaint.

it seems that Gr may have spawned a control freak who wants to impose their likes and dislikes on others.

Its simple, DON't LIKE 'EM. DON'T READ 'EM

Just a thought, But you have to read something first to know whether you like it or not!!

Bobtanian. As long as a joke is not racial, contains no swearing etc, then I can't understand why GR would have deleted your thread.

Life is pretty grim for a lot of folks right now, so a few good jokes is ok in my books.

Perhaps you can start a new one?

It only takes one person to complain that the thread has upset or distressed them to have it removed as being in contravention of the T's and C's

e.g. amongst other things,

You agree that you will not ....... cause distress, harm or inconvenience to any other person.

Sometimes I wonder if an incorrect thread has been removed.

For instance, a few of mine that were in the tips board have been removed, totally inoffensive and containing useful tips; also, a treading in my ancestors footsteps thread of mine.

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

It's not the owner of the thread who has deleted.He has not been on the boards for a very long time now.It must be one of GR glitches ,or someone who was offended by a 'rude' joke Shame ,I enjoyed it and know that 'C' the chap who started it would have been tickled pink to see that it went for so long

How on earth are you to know if any particular comment will NOT cause stress, or discomfort to someone, we are all of different natures, and not all of us will find things to our liking, there are many posts/comments, styles of writing that dont appeal to me but I dont go off whingeing to GR about them....

A Yorkshire man takes his cat to the vet.

Yorkshireman: "Ayup, lad, I need to talk to thee about me cat."

Vet: "Is it a tom?"

Yorkshireman: "Nay, I've browt it with us."

A Yorkshireman's dog dies and as it was a favourite pet he decides to have a gold statue made by a jeweller to remember the dog by.

Yorkshireman: "Can tha mek us a gold statue of yon dog?"

Jeweller: "Do you want it 18 carat?"

Yorkshireman: "No I want it chewin' a bone yer daft bugger!"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Yorkshireman's wife dies and the widower decides that her headstone should have the words "She were thine" engraved on it.
He calls the stone mason, who assures him that the headstone will be ready a few days after the funeral.
True to his word the stone mason calls the widower to say that the headstone is ready and would he like to come and have a look.

When the widower gets there he takes one look at the stone to see that it's been engraved "She were thin".

He explodes: "'ells bells man, you've left the blood y "e" out, you've left the blood y "e" out!"

The stone mason apologises profusely and assures the poor widower that it will be rectified the following morning.

Next day comes and the widower returns to the stone mason: "There you go sir, I've put the "e" on the stone for you".

The widower looks at the stone and then reads out aloud:

"E, she were thin".

MARRIED 40 YEARS

A man wakes up in the hospital bandaged from head to foot.
The doctor comes in and says, "Ah, I'm glad to see you've regained consciousness. You probably won't remember, but you were in a huge pile-up on the freeway. You're going to be OK, you'll walk again and everything, but your penis was severed in the accident and we couldn't find it".

The man groans, but the doctor goes on, "You've got £9000 in insurance compensation coming and we now have the technology to build a new penis. They work great but they don't come cheap. It's roughly £1000 an inch". The man perks up.

"So", the doctor says, "You must decide how many inches you want.

I understand that you've been married for over forty years and this is something you should discuss with your wife. If you had a five-incher before and get a nine incher now, she might be a bit put out. If you had a nine-incher before and you decide to only invest in a five-incher now, she might be disappointed. It's important that she plays a role in helping you make a decision".

The man agrees to talk it over with his wife.

The doctor comes back the next day and asks, "So, have you spoken with your wife"?

"Yes I have", says the man.

"And has she helped you make a decision"?

"Yes" says the man.

"What is your decision"? asks the doctor.

A bit of humour.



A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car.



His father said he'd make a deal: 'You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut.
Then we'll talk about the car.'

The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.


After about six weeks his father said, 'Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm disappointed you haven't had your hair cut.'


The boy said, 'You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair...and there's even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.'

(YOU`RE GONNA "'LOVE" THIS ANSWER) .........






---- his father replied, 'Did you also notice they all walked everywhere
they went?
