Mmm, another sense of humour failure :rolleyes:
They'll be suing him next for violating their human rights.......

Hope there's no scouse pilots on Pprune . . . :E

Like the moderator and my BJ reference by the looks of it.

Have a look at the following statistics, taken from the Home Office website. Reading across from right to left, they represent the following, by region.

- Theft of a vehicle per 10,000 population
- Theft from a vehicle per 10,000 population
- Theft and handling of stolen goods per 10,000 population

Merseyside 84 110 44
Greater Manchester 87 149 51
West Yorks 93 149 57
West Midlands 90 132 47
Nottinghamshire 78 198 66
Metropolitan Police 75 141 61
South Wales 81 144 48

Whether you choose to believe stereotypes or actual facts and figures is up to you. Either way, the stats explain why we Liverpudlians are getting ever-so-slightly tired of hearing this particular 'joke'...

[airborne_artist]

Didn't know that Boris Johnson was moonlighting with EJ...

[Avman]

I sometimes wonder just how many years away we are from when telling a joke will be a criminal offence? People who can't take a joke are very very sad people. But, please, let us not allow them to rule our real world!

[eoinok]

Serious tabloid over reaction here.

Was with them yesterday, cabin crew was very funny.

Example was when we landed, Air hostesse came on to ask us to remain in our seats and keep seat belts on while we taxi'ed in because "although the captain is very good at flying, he is not that good at driving and may have an accident so we dont want anyone getting hurt!!!!!"

there was a few more like this and definately got peoples attention. There was another wise crack about keeping your mobile phones turned off while taxi'ing too and not a phone was turned on.

Well done :ok:

[grease7]

Always thought you brits had a sense of humour:p

[XSBaggage]

Avman is right. There are always going to be sensitive types who don't appreciate any attempt at humour.

I always wonder exactly who would go to the lengths of reporting such a thing as this to the press though- the pax who missed an earlier flight, got to check in too late for the first batch of boarding cards.... you would have to be REALLY sensitive if a small comment hurts so much. In fact, these people should stay at home.

Don't know much about Liverpool myself, only been once and its a pretty decent place!

Come on, lets complain about the serious things and let the things like this be.

[itchy kitchin]

I heard an EJ pilot once say:
"looking after your safety and comfort is the chief cabin attendant, Jeremy. For those of you that don't know Jeremy, he's the fat bloke with ginger hair down the back."

...THAT brought a laugh- and isn't it funny when a ginger blushes?

[Llademos]

One passenger said: "I'm from Liverpool and I think it is a disgrace. I paid good money for my seat ..."

I thought the point of using Easyjet et al was to avoid paying good money for a seat.

One passenger said: "I'm from Liverpool and I think it is a disgrace. I paid good money for my seat ..."

and the reply (attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt)

"Noboby can make you feel inferior without your own consent"

[Athena5]

There are always going to be sensitive types who don't appreciate any attempt at humour.
You mean there are always going to be 'dry oul sh*tes' who don't appreciate any attempt at humour.

A good quip for a pilot flying over Scotland might be:

'You better have a full purse cos you're gonna have to pay for everything'. :E

BTW I luv the Scotland & the Scottish for all the world. :ok:

[spitfire mk1]

Amazing!! The only people with a viewpoint have either:

a/never been to Liverpool in their life..
b/ visited there once...
c/ never been North of the Watford gap...

It's a crass statement from the pilot, end of story. Liverpool is a City that has had it's fair share of problems just like any other Urban Metropolis. Trouble is, mud sticks (Harry Enfield didn't do us any favours !!) - some of it was funny but it is getting very worn and boring now. I have had my car nicked twice.....from Dublin...been involved in an unprovoked fight in Crawley....met the most unfriendly personalities in London...if you can find anyone actually from London....You don't like generalisations? Neither do I!!! Proud of where I am from and from the great history and resilience of the Liverpool people. So, calm down, calm down-don't knock it 'til you have tried it and if you don't, so what!!! Love from the Capital of Culture 2008!!!!!
:mad:

[Avman]

Oh-oh, sad person alert! :rolleyes:

[sammypilot]

We had a power failure here in the capital of Ireland - sorry Liverpool - last evening. Before the bulbs had got cold the pillaging mobs were on the streets seeing what they could get. BBC North this evening carried stories of shopkeepers and betting offices management defending their territories.

You need a sense of humour to live here . You also need the spirit of a frontiersman to hang on to what you own.

[spitfire mk1]

Oi Avman!!!

Try posting a sensible reply instead of a pathetic statement that betrays your stupidity!! The sad people like you are only capable of daft one-liners, are you a mate of the EZY pilot by any chance???

Engage that brain cell....

[B Sousa]

Just to make you all feel at ease. Come visit Washington D.C. where the population just relected their Cocaine snorting mayor by 96%. They probably murder more people in D.C. per year than are born in Liverpool.......
Life goes on, keep smiling. I have nothing in my wallet anyway.

[spitfire mk1]

Thanks Sousa

No offence to my fellow Liverpudlians or other intelligent posts on this thread!! I think the point has been made!!



:zzz:

[Avman]

Spitfire, your response proved my point admirably, thank you.

[spitfire mk1]

uh oh. sad person alert.......

:p

[Slim20]

A guy I fly with regularly cracks jokes of that variety. (especially around the EZY stronghold of Luton!) So what? Are we so insanely sensitive about everything that we can't laugh at such cr@ppy jokes (well meant, but sh!te). Bruce Forsyth has been doing this for years and he's still on telly.

Anyway, the guy who was offended probably laughs his butt off at racist jokes down the pub if my Liverpool local is anything to go by.

[eal401]

a/never been to Liverpool in their life..
Have been a number of times.
b/ visited there once...
See above.
c/ never been North of the Watford gap...
See above.

My opinion? Someone overeacted and a no-brain tabloid blew it all out of proportion.
