For me - fish puns You know the type of thing (you must do, we have them on here every month) - You're talking pollacks. I was only codding. Am I herring you correctly? We should dolphinitely scale back on the fish puns. And on and on and on it goes. (I already know a dolphin isn't a fish, thanks) In September 1993 I started uni - Electronic Imaging and Media Communications. A practical course in computers, internet, design, photography and TV. In our first ever lecture thing where you're told about the course and given your time table and a million other things, we were also given an e-mail address. My first ever e-mail address. My first ever e-mail to my first ever e-mail address was from my IT lecturer. He welcomed us to the course, told us what we'd be doing that term and ended the message with what he thought was a funny conversation he'd copied from a Usenet Newsgroup. A load of fish puns. Maybe they were funny, back in 1993, the first time I'd ever read them. My first ever proper lecture at Uni was with this IT lecturer who introduced us to the internet. The first thing he did (so the first thing I ever saw on the internet) was open up the Usenet Newsgroups and show us those fish puns. We were also shown IRC (Internet Relay Chat) in that lecture. So we all logged in. The first real time message I received over the internet was from Sam, the bloke sat at the computer next to me, who typed, and I quote, word for ******* word, "I wish he'd stop carping on". I probably laughed then. I'm not laughing now. Later that term we were introduced to the world wide web on the Mosaic browser. The first web page I ever saw was the homepage of the IT lecturer. I bet you can't guess what he put on it? This was 21 years ago. 21 ******* years of fish puns. That's over half my life. Every single day on some web page I visit there will be someone, who thinks they're the height of wit and originality, doing fish puns. Please, for the love of God, please stop. It's not big, it's not clever and it's slowly but surely sending me insane. If some time in the future you read a newspaper report about an internet revenge attack where some psycho has shoved a whole tuna up someone's arse, that will be me, and it will be your fault. Yes, I know what I'm going to get now, but you'd all have been doing it in another thread anyway.
I think you have a secret fetish for fish puns and that was all a ruse to procure more masturbatory material. Or prawnography, if you will.
I'll change the subject then. What do you think about the judges on The Voice? My favourite is Kylie Minnowge
Fancy starting a line about hating fish puns. You've made a "rod" for your own back there mate. You should have tried a different angle when taking about the Inter Net that wouldn't have reeled so many people in.
