I've been trying to summon the courage to own up ever since.
OK, here goes: While flicking through the channels, I alighted on Mrs Brown's Boys. Before I could move on, a joke was made and...and..oh, God! I laughed! :cry:
My name is Burney and I laughed at a joke in Mrs Brown's Boys.
There it is. It's out in the open now. :-(
What's Mrs Brown's Boys?
A notoriously bad comedy show with an Irishman dresses up as an old lady and says rude things.Quote:

Before I knew what I was doing, I'd guffawed. Terrible. :-(
I saw a bit of one of those once and the shenanigans and funny accents reminded me of stuff I'd heard from Oirish relatives. It was quite amusing for about 3 minutes, then became somewhat tedious. I made the earth shattering decision to switch it off.Quote:

One of the actors in that steaming pile has the cushiest job going
No lines and just sits in an armchair for the duration of the recording
Long white hair and a cap
:fume:
that's gonna get Ol' Herbs loins a stirrin'.Quote:

I guarantee if Obama were still President Little Rocket Man would have threatened the Olympics and O would have already shipped a planeload of cash his way.Quote:

Well if Brexit is anything to go by, no. Reasonable people will come to grudgingly accept things over time, but a hardcore will carry their screeching on pretty much indefinitely.Quote:
