May I help you with your overabundance of THICK?

Tourists make me laugh.

Sometimes people come into the hotel so enthused with the joie de vivre that comes from being in another country that it takes every screed of control you have not to wrestle them to the floor and mug them just to inject some much needed cynicism into their veins.

These people arrive at the hotel full of the joys of spring.

So basically you're just another boring, bored, bitch who thinks they're better than everyone else and you want us to know it? Well, here's hoping you get the sack from the job you clearly hate and you get to move to a place that you like - rather than choosing to live in a city that's so fucking terrible! Why do you live there anyway? Is someone forcing you?

Grow some balls and move out if you don't like it, or shut the fuck up and grit your teeth - nobody likes a petty little whinger who can't sort themselves out. Especially not if they can't even be funny about it.

By the way, I've only ever driven through Manchester, so I've no axe to grind about it. I just hate petty fucking whingers who blame the world around them for their unhappiness rather than sorting it.

Cheerio.

Deepest thanks for your correspondence

Dear C. Tripper

Oh right, so it was meant to be funny? That's me told then.

Next time, before replying, I'll scrape through the disingenousness a bit further and see if the funny shines through.

All the best and may your future be rosier than your outlook.

The future is ALWAYS rosier than my outlook. Such is the benefit of having a cynical outlook. :) Humour is, like all forms of writing, subject to personal opinion. We are after all, as stated in your user icon, 'Independent Minds'. I am of course open to any constructive and intelligent comments you wish to make, and will be only too happy to take them on board.

Ok, here's my advice - change your daily life and stop being such a mingebag!

By the way, I do actually like your writing style even if I didn't think the content in your post had merit. If it wasn't as well written I'd not have bothered getting my scathing shoes on.

But it's late now and I've run out of swearing.

May your mashed potatoes always be creamy.

Hoooooooly crap, someone doesn't understand free-expression, humour writing or comedy in the style of Dylan Moran (or any of the cynical comedians out there, pointing out the realism of life). I thought it was well written, well verbalised, and inherently funny.

If he has a problem with it, I dare him to do better!

"disingenousness"?

I do not think that word means what you think it means...

Nevertheless, I am amused. Clearly this poster is heavy competition in the world of verbose comedy.

I'd be interested to know why you took the time to read the entire post, and even comment on it, when you didn't find it the slightest bit funny? I'm not sure about most people, but if I don't find something entertaining, I don't waste any of my time on it. I wonder how many blogs have you read and commented on, not because you find them amusing or interesting, but simply because they annoyed you? If this is the case, you must have a lot of time on your hands, and I sympathize with how bored you must be! Or was it just this particular blog, that you found so outstandingly offensive that you just HAD to comment on it? I'd love to know.

I do wonder about some people...
