If the thread was about a dead horse and someone said eat it, to which OP replied "I'm not British", no one would bat an eyelid... Mention another nationality and suddenly it's "inappropriate".

The difference being:

1. The horse meat scandal was widely publicised and dominated the news for weeks, making it a decent and obvious punch line, unlike a single vague article from 4 years ago

2. 'Hilarious' English people are always joking about cats/dogs going missing near Chinese restaurants, it's crude stereotyping.

Our cat Lucy seems to have read this thread. She's brought her first mouse into the house and then let it go Cue panic and mayhem from wife and daughters......

Traps are down as its under the piano now and stupid fur ball lost interest.

Get a medium sized box, put it on its side near the mouse, then coax the mouse out with a golf club or stick. Do it right and the mouse will do a runner for the safety of the dark box, when it does, flip the box upright and take the mouse outside. Caught loads of mice like this.

You'll need to get the mouse out as quickly as possible as they'll wreck your furniture give half a chance.

Complains about stereotypes by using a stereotype as evidence. Smart.

Also...it ain't exactly without precedent.

They eat dogs in S. Korea (revolting imo) but are jokes about that frowned upon?

Does anyone know any

Our cat used to bring in full size rabbits with the head eaten, lovely gift. Especially 1st thing in the morning before work. It also used to do the same with rats and then be sick afterwards :eek:

We have a horse muck heap which we used to throw them on lol.

It is a good name for a cat, along with Alan, Barry and John.

*sigh* maybe when you grow up a bit you'll be able to structure an argument and convince me that I'm being unreasonable instead of just reverting to childish insults.

Sorry, of course not all of us English people find crude stereotyping hilarious

"Childish" and "grow up" don't actually mean anything beyond "I don't like that thing you've just said l"

What would have been more suitable? furball, fluffy, molly, buttercup, bubbles, sockington etc?

My mate had a cat called Rosie, got to 3 years old before they realised it was a boy. It then became Mr. Rosie.

Is your mate single digit IQ by any chance?

Cats only bring these 'presents' if they don't think you can fend for yourself....

Your cat thinks you're useless.

I sense a few **********, i really cannot understand how people get upset so easily, it's a ******* joke, no wonder this place has died recently, they are killing this forum.

It was a harmless tongue in cheek comment and the equivalent of saying English people have bad teeth, i.e. no one in their right mind should be taking offence at it. I never thought I'd see the ********* / PC culture find its way to GD but it looks like it has begun.

protip: when disposing of corpses put them in a bin liner/plastic bag and tape up, will prevent the egress of odour and means your bin wont smell like rotting rat carcass

It began a while ago, it has killed this place.
