    I mean if we can't have a laugh at a washed up ex footballer who has been dumped by his employers on the radio because he's always late or pissed or both .....then we may as well become nuns

    Dear me

    14 year old unfunny Youtube videos and a bare faced lie about a man losing his job are just what this forum needs eh. Bring back the halyhcon days of CCMB.

    Ricky Gervais has nothing new to be funny about anymore so has just doubled down on the tired old jokes and become a nasty little man. "Oh I'm allowed to make fun of disabled people because I'm not actually making fun of them but making fun of people who make fun of them" or "I'm allowed to make fun of anyone because I'm a 'comedian'" - yeah right Ricky.

    As Stewart Lee said (who is a million times funnier and smarter than Gervais) "Afterlife was a nine hour sad wank"

    Don't get me wrong, Gervais has done some excellent stuff, but now I find him unfunny and tedious.

    Ricky Gervais is very funny, I think his last show took things too far, but he has been one of the best comedy actors of recent times, I also agree he is just about at the end of his career. Never heard of that other bloke?

    The inevitable descent of left v right on here is incredibly tedious, particularly when threads have nothing to do with party politics.
    It's also tiresome that one particular poster, a serial wind-up merchant and deliberate misquoter of other contributors, continues to create endless identities for himself.
    The descent into personal insults
    is also pretty depressing.

    Yeah, you can't be sexist or racist anymore or even make fun of people with disabilities. Bummer.

    Lol shut up you utter pleb. At its core, "wokeness" is a blend of intersectionality and postmodernism which seeks to radically redefine misogyny, racism, oppression etc. and accentuate the very aspect we should be trying to eliminate i.e. not judge people by their skin colour, which I'm sure you fully understand and have done extensive resear- ohh wait, you probably haven't....

    When a bunch of insatiable hyper-sensitive narcissists on Twitter or in academia (via Twitter) broaden the scope for "racism" or "misogyny" to justify their pathetic dogma, the obvious pitfalls to this are obviously lost on people such as you.

    I only swing by this board from time to time to get some perspective on CCFC (God knows why...), and I occasionally get a good chuckle from seeing a bunch of miserably cynical crusty armchair managers bite lumps out of each other, but I can't help myself and wade in when I see stupid comments, so here I am!

    So here you are!

    You may have single-handedly saved this forum from intersectionality and postmodernism, and the influence of 'plebs'!

    Ricky Gervais notwithstanding, it should be clear to anyone who's posted on here for more than, say, a decade that this forum has become a nastier, less civilised and more intolerant place and I say that as someone who has, from time to time, contributed towards the board's decline.

    You and I both TOBW.

    Discussions used to be a bit more respectful and funnier.

    Definitely something changed in the national psyche around the BREXIT vote.

    Too right, some people are so angry, like this bloke.

    There have always been the likes of North Cardiff and Mars from what I gather. Cedric was around ten years ago and he was extremely antagonistic.

    I find the ignore option works very well to filter out posters who rarely have anything interesting to add and almost always say things that are a bit dumb.

    If everybody ignored these users they'd soon give up the ghost.

    Indeed, and there's no doubt that the forum is simply a reflection of society and it's rapid descent....

    A writer looking a couple of millenia ahead of his time wrote this:-

    "....people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. They’ll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they’re animals.."

    Who wrote that?

    It comes from the same compendium that includes a reference to a deity that instructed for children to be killed.

    I think that is supposed to be Paul writing to Timothy (2 Timothy 3:1-5). Truthpaste is a fan.
