I'm trying to picture Joyce eating a topic. How bizzare.

Bahs: I wish everyone was like that. I like to think I can laugh at anything that's got something to it [just not bad jokes], but most other people seem to get uptight at SOME joke.I made a jab at the French awhile back and got some flak for it.

It is a problem alright. I think its probably the biggest problem I have especially because I tend to not use these annoying things like ":)" or "lol" after making a tongue-in-cheek comment. But the Irish sense of humour is based on the idea that everyone is open to a really good insult, slagging is the national past-time! Which is why this Pitch'n'Putt film works so well.

Bahs: Well I wasn't sure if you were taking the piss or not.Everyone comes off as serious on the Internet, unless they say something COMPLETELY ridiculous.

Well, obviously "Irish" isnt a race. Besides I was taking the piss. Its what we Irish do, but you'd know that as you like us so much!Anyway,its a very funny film. Joyce reminds me of Dr. Statham from Greenwing TV series ("oh my fucksie" etc). Nice to see some shameless taking the piss combined with intelligent dialogue. Joyce was a filthy fucker, and a Dub, so I think the use of profanity is really well played out. Obviously its a caricature.

Bahs: Irish isn't a race, therefore your statement is invalid.Besides, I like the Irish.

Ah yes, casual racism...

Oh for goodness sake, it's not meant to be a realistic representation of Joyce. It's a gag that fuses his famous style with contemporary Irish vernacular. Mind you, given what most Irish intellectuals sound like, I am fairly sure he did swear like a docker.

All fecund in its nuttiness.

Freedom: Well I'm not a 'humourless feckpig' so my response to your original comment would be, 'Well . . . they are Irish.'
