asperity Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 I believe that the new film about Margaret Thatcher "The Iron Lady", starring Meryl Streep, has been deemed as unsuitable for minors :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 surely it should be miners Asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 It's a J-O-K-E PJ, you know - a pun, a play on words. Doh! Some fell on stoney ground :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 I knew it was a joke Asp, well I thought it was but you told it wrong :roll: Or perhaps thats why you didn't put it in the JOKE section. Â Anyway I believe the makers of this movie considered waiting until Thatcher died before making it, just to ensure a happy ending. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 I sometimes refer to my wife as the "iron Lady" also the "cook Lady" the "clean Lady" etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 I read that the Government are considering spending £3 million on a state funeral for Thatcher. With that much money they could buy a spade for every man in Liverpool and they'll deliver her to Satan personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Plans have begun for Margaret Thatcher's state funeral. Â It'll be the first time ever the 21 gun salute is fired into the coffin. :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Well if you knew it was a joke PJ why didn't you just laugh (or not) and leave it at that instead of making out I'd done it wrong somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 erm perhaps because you did but hey ho. The gag works both ways verbally Asp even with your brogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgusted Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Look he made a mistake, but I wouldn't call him stupid Woolfie Actually PJ, it's you that made the mistake. The pun is on the word "miners/minors" - you thought it was a spelling mistake, when that was the actual pun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugtifino Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 surely it should be miners Asp  Let's see:  No capital letter for the start of a sentence.  No comma preceding a proper noun.  Use of a capital when the subject clearly prefers to use the lower case.  I reckon this poster is either:  one of those chirpy winder upperers who never gets wound up about anything, oh no. (LOL!)  or  Thick as .... not very bright when it comes to pedantry.  Oh, forgot this:  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P J Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Looking back up I see I was obviously wrong and apologise to Asp for amending his wonderfully funny and gramatically correct joke. I never realised I was missing plays on words until Fatshaft and Fugtifino posted. You see, I always assumed their forum names were word plays when in fact they are clearly literal descriptions of themselves. If I can be wrong there then why not with the OP :grin: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P J Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Sarcasm - the lowest form of wit :wink: Â Tut tut, you missed the second half of the saying Asp which goes "and the highest form of intelligence". I thank you for your kind words but feel very slightly undeserving :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Been doing a spot of googling PJ? The other saying is "brevity is the the soul of wit" so enough said I think. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
