Different bridge, but if you don't know about the famously-low bridge in Durham, North Carolina - enjoy!

Yep, me too!

Wikipedia wrote:

The song's resemblance to some of Neil Young's work aroused some controversy. "I know that virtually everyone, on first hearing, assumed it was Neil", Bunnell says. "I never fully shied away from the fact that I was inspired by him. I think it's in the structure of the song as much as in the tone of his voice. It did hurt a little, because we got some pretty bad backlash. I've always attributed it more to people protecting their own heroes more than attacking me." By coincidence, it was "A Horse with No Name" that replaced Young's "Heart of Gold" at the number 1 spot on the U.S. pop chart.

Apple announced recently that their new phone won't come with a charger or headphones, that was Samsung's response.

Some of those posts in YLYL like https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=115026666&postcount=7171 are just so crap why would anyone even bother sharing them

I've about 20 posts on this thread. Each has gained 2-43 thanks, although most were between 7 and 25.

Somethings that some people find funny other people don't fin funny. Something posted one day might be hilarious, another day appalling, depending on the collective mood and zeitgeist.

Something can't be funny if we don't experiment at being funny.

Where old rugby players are laid to rest. :P

On a slightly related note I recently discovered why a try is called a try

In the early days of the game only points from conversions counted, going over the line with the ball would give you a "try" at the conversion

Definitely should be a filtering system for the shite ones. If any don't have over 10 thanks by 12pm (up to a 2 hour mark before 12pm) each day they get moved to the YLYW thread.

I'm not sure the time it'd take to add that feature to boards vs. the time it takes to just scroll past a post would be worth it. Try Reddit or Imgur if you want the funniest most upvoted memes filtered that way.

If one person finds it funny enough to post then that should be enough to qualify it

We don’t need humour police

If I post anything and somebody finds it funny great, if not I don't care to much. Next post. Having somebody flag something as funny or not is a waste of time. Humour is subjective - don't like it? Dont laugh and move on.

Honestly not. Purely in a chat capacity, seeing as everyone is actively discussing what should/not be in the thread, highlighting that this had obviously been discussed before.

That is why I phrase it as a thought that I am open to correction on, and not a diktat

I know, hence the
But the point about humour being subjective still stands and no one wants the "humour police" deciding what's funny or not.
Except when it is offensive etc.
