Stu Peters Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Can someone explain the "man flu" gag ? I just don't get it at all, I'm afraid... ...GOMH*... Bloke with any form of minor sniffle or tummy bug has Man Flu - which is a thousand times worse than labour pains, if only wimmin would stop being SO insensitive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whimsy Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I'll always remember watching Granada News a few years ago, it was the 5 min slot after the main ITN lunch time news. The news reader had a panic attack live on air and just sat there saying "I can't do it, I can't do it". Then it cut to a recorded news item, and when it went back to the studio some scruffy bloke, probably a cameraman or something, read out the news from a piece of paper. That newsreader read out the news every day for years, but I never saw her again after that. But I bet the lovely giggling Charlotte will keep her job, even after her performance while announcing a very sad death this morning on Today. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7318173.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone remember her? She's now a senior lecturer on journalism at Liverpool John Moore's university, apparently. The panic attack is not on youtube, but it lives on in my brain.

localyokel Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I was just wondering who it was .... standing in for Alex Brindley this morning. A balloon on a stick? He got more laughs I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moghrey Mie Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 How very DARE you suggest a programme named after a plague of venereal diseases? Or a method of making telephone calls? And I only EVER mention Page 3 in the paper review en passant (see - Sarkozy syndrome is setting in). Will cop to the complaint from Nipper though about man-flu gags - but it still makes me giggle. Must try to avoid it if it irritates so much. Marc Tyley was on the high seas (returning from holidaying across) when he got the call from Sicknote Kinley yesterday, and manfully stepped in with little sleep and no real chance to prepare - so I think he did a sterling job. Kinners WAS looking proper poorly yesterday - three jumpers and a scarf indoors and still shivering. Sounds like ma..... People who have the flu should stay at home and stop spreading their germs round. They don't have to go in to work and prove how bad they are.

Gagster Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yes - He is the Programmes Controller. (or whatever the current title is!)He's the one who doesn't seem capable of keeping rick on prats such as Williams and Brindley. Did anyone hear Brindley today making fun of Prince William's trip to Afghanistan... following on from the assorted parties and stag-do helicopter trips, Alex asked about Prince William's trip to Aghanistan - and he said "ooh, is there a party there too?". No Alex, no party - just a a war. It's been there for a while, plenty of people being killed - and Wills actually brought back the body of a fallen soldier! Buy another joke book, perhaps one that's not offensive and in bad taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodolite Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I remember listening to Radio 1 in the 1990s and the woman newsreader giving us the sad news of the little girl who had died after a multiple organ transplant. The newsreader freudian slipped and instead said died after a multiple orgasm. Not funny and in bad test I know, but it happened and I never heard the newsreader again.
