In other news, youth organisation of the far right in Denmark just organised their annual easter brunch (it's a Danish tradition to do that). I just found the date terribly amusing, they actually picked the 20th of April :rofl:
I had to check because that's just too good to be true.

No seriously, the people he's hanging with a worrysome. He wrote that after he cracked a few of those jokes one of the other guys got all serious and said

"Please can we stop with all the WW2 jokes? My grandfather died in a KZ camp".

Everyone proceeded to feel bad and got quiet, he then went on

"Yeah, he got up one morning well knowing that it would be his last day at that place. He went outside to start working. Sadly he slipped and fell off the guard tower"

:rofl:
:lol2:

I've heard this one before...a comedian had said it, can't remember who though

Quick question, a work colleague's brother died recently and I'm being asked if I want to go to the funeral, which I don't. I've only worked in the place for 9 months and ain't that keen on funerals (not that anyone is obviously), so how do I say no without seeming insensitive?

You don't.

Sometimes you do things you don't want to do out of respect.

I'd imagine an Irish funeral involves lots of drinking afterwards?
Normally they do, but from what I've heard his whole family situation is quite awkward to say the least. Half of them don't talk to one another and throwing drink into the mix would probably be disastrous.
You don't.

I know, if it were a mate I wouldn't have asked the question in the first place, but someone who I see maybe twice a week?

If you're not comfortable doing it and if you have no emotional attachment to him nor his family there is absolutely no reason for you to attend the funeral.

Sounds like every Irish family I know.

If you're actually being asked whether you're going it's hard to get out of. I'm bad with funerals too, but if I were in your shoes I'd probably just go to it.

Edit: I thought the guy himself had asked whether you were going. Someone else asking you is a different story. You could just say you're not going.

Few weeks ago I gave angry feedback for my local church because they posted their newspaper for me. Of course they published that feedback on their next weeks newspaper. And guess what boys, got my first fan post today from some of the readers. :strong:
