I've tried to write a 'funny' about stella artois

[Brewcat]

How do,

I've been homebrewing for about 2 years. I also attempt to amuse people on the internet. Newsbiscuit ran a story I wrote about a new Stella Artois product:

Hope it amuses someone. If enough people read it, I could win...a mug. It's amazing what motivates some people.

Not really funny, in fact quite the opposite, no doubt my viewing will unfortunately go towards your Mug!

Sorry I have to agree with Jim,

I take it you are in the 20-30 bracket, crass rather than amusing.

UP

Agree, it doesn't really hit the amusing mark.

I was under the impression that Stalla was Belgian rather than French, so why the references to france.

Was wondering about that myself....

Also no offence but it wasnt funny.

Well he did say he “tried” to write a funny.

One or two slightly amusing moments, but on the whole I also think he failed.

Isn't Belgian part of France?

the dig at CAMRA members wasn't funny though - who needs a wife when there are plenty of other females around anyway?

:shock: :wha: I do wonder sometimes, what do they teach you at school these days

Its Belgium and no its not part of France it is a country in its own right, it is part of Europe though :!:

I didnt do geography and i even know its a country all of its own, almost part of france, if you take its eastern border out!

I think the reference to france was due to stella cider being called cidre, although it sounds french i dont know if that was the intention :wha:

Don't go saying that to any Flemmish Belgians.

Or Hercule Poirot for that matter or Agatha Christie will have to rise from the grave to rewrite his part in a Murder :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

She is dead just in case you didn't know that either. (not refering to you mumbler but the earlier poster)

[evanvine]

You know, I've been educated tonight, Belgium not part of France. :shock:

 

[Crastney]

I always thought that my sense of humour was more difficult to get across properly on an internet forum, this thread just confirmed it for me. ...

I'll get my coat.
Check please.
Taxi for Crastney!

It is well documented that it is hard to properly express yourself on teh interwebs. Forums and email are often used more like speach than formal written communitcation but give no vocal cues at all, and show no facial expressions. Add that to people of wildly different backgrounds and no real knowledge of each other and miscommunication is pretty much bound to follow...

If you read the parts with a French accent its funny. :)
