Sorry LB I did find some of nicks comments quite funny.. But personal digs are not so funny from either side. But I do have to say you do need a sense of humour tranfusion because more people found the Top Gear item funny or very funny. In fact on the UK campsite forum there have not been any who feel as stongly as some of the ultra conservative members here. As I said before people who say they have a sense of humor rarely do have a good sense of humour. Posting jokes is not a good way of showing that either.. It is more about personal things which are not always too good into a positive just like many of the great comedians do. Spike Milligan, Laurel and Hardy, John Cleese, Peter Sellers and then shows like the young ones and Not the nine o'clock news all used the same type of humour at the expense of both themselves and others to make a living... That item was the same, the only difference is the show is not classed as a comedy show. But every week they do the same fuuny things just to make it interesting. Like seeing how much it would take to stop the pickup truck from running. Just because it has touched something you love doing is not going to stop it from being funny for thousands of people. I suggest you look at what pulling a van really means for the majority of people here and it has nothing to do with the item Top Gear was showing. I go out not to sit in a field as they say I go to enjoy the places we visit. Like I said mountain biking, Skiing, Jet skiing, racing motorcycles as well as walking and taking the dog for walks. I use the time away to enjoy what the country side has to offer even though I live surrounded by countryside with farms and a 250 common for a back garden, literally !
Do you just sit in a field or spend all of your time either inside or sitting outside of your van??? I personally think you do not........ I could be wrong. But for me the van is a place to eat and sleep and relax after a day enjoying a day in the country, just like a hotel.
So Just get over the Top Gear item and picking on someone elses sense of humour just because it is not the same as yours. Hell if we all had the same sense of humour we would all still be watching The wheel tappers and shunters club !!! Telling Jokes by standup comics are not the only way to be funny, hence the sitcom.
