OT car wash picture

[whisky-dave]

I noticed this car wash while I was on the 25 bus going down bow road when the tube strike was on. (took picture a few days later)

Sorry it means nothing to me.

[whisky-dave]

Bollocks to you too then... the bollocks car wash ? Maybe you have to be an eastender to get it.

[T i m]

Probably because you aren't 8 years old ...

I doubt those under 8 would, but an italian girl I was out with last night said that's funny you should put it on facebook which I did at about 11pm, are you suggesting that foreigners have a childish sense of humour, or the

50 year-old from up north thought it amusing too, as did the German girl wh o's over for a few days but then again she has previously lived in the UK f or 15 years, she's a lecturer in langauges at a German university.

'what, nob end locks carwarsh ... that's not_funny / hilarious ...' (who knows to him)?

As my old Mum used to say when one of us got the giggles ... 'You would laugh to see a puddi'n roll ... ' (but I'm not sure we would, even when we were 8 years old).

Actually very interesting. Tide mills were once pretty important sources of energy, requiring some skill, judgement, anticipation, and (sometimes) courage.

Less to me! Brian

I know there is a drink in Japan called Bugga. Brian

I know, you don't.

As I said I found it amusing, party for the fact that they must have known what they were doing and I'd rather see a name like that than Best car wash or cheapest car wash, which is the types of names for such places I see mo re locally to me, and it was an actually panner not just a few sheets of pa per stuck together, so I wondered if the printing it found it amusing.

Maybe it was beyond you, people with assburgers or have OCD don't always ge t humour.

I'm not sure that not finding things funny is a sign of inteligence.

but which side of the brain do you laugh on or is it at.

[Steve Walker]

Nope. Perfectly clear to a Mancunian.

Well done, the Italian girl got it and she was blonde !, the german girl got it even the two from staffordshire got it, even a bloody Frenchman got it. It seems one of the few that didn't get it also gets confused at polling stations when asked whether they want to leave or remain. I know a song about that. Should I stay or should I go by the clash

[Max Demian]

Did they get the place name reference? I'd never heard of Bow Locks, and, without that, you're only getting half the gag.

l got it even the two from staffordshire got it, even a bloody Frenchman go t it.

Well we've all drank in the pub called the Camden Lock and we used to hang around camden lock mostly on sundays so they do know what a lock is or can be. I aslo said I saw this while on a 25 bus traveling down bow road during the central line tube strike.

You;d be suprised out how many people are amused by the word bollocks. I explained this to one of my italian students, he's a muscian and was play ing something on his instrument, and someone clapped and he said falicimo o r magnafico in italian and I said it's the dogs bollocks, he though I was b eing insulting by calling it bollocks so I had to explain what the term the dogs bollocks actually means as in the best or most 'important' part a dog has. And he left that lab knowing a new expression... that;s what education is a ll about :-)

[T i m]

Of course they didn't, but don't we all just smile and nod when some nutter on a bus comes up with such crazy / childish things. ;-)

Cheers, T i m

Isn't that british humour, sometimes british humour needs explaining other times it doesn't. It's only being educated about such things that make it funny and this includes langauge and grammer. A friend of mine on facebook has advertised that he'll be doing some performance art in a local carpark..... I couldn't help but enquire Dogging ? Seems some found it funny but I'm betting others who thought what's funny about walking your dog in a car park.
