I didn't think the original "joke", and I use the term very loosely, was offensive.
Just crap.

Personally......
......I am just jealous that Liquidlan has got a thread named after him................whats he done to deserve that ......sod all so far as I can see, Jammy git.
Oh.............and I have to agree with Coffindodger ....implying that a whole nation of people are sheep shaggers is offensive.............although probably not as offensive as calling somebody a STUPID TWAT......or using language such as f***king.
PS I dont think the joke was that funny either........................posting it in the Welsh section...now that wouldve been funny
PPS Somebody should just close this thread too....now

Guys if you are that offended then by all means get it removed.
It wasn’t intended as an insult to anyone and I had no idea that so many people here would take offence at it.
I closed the thread earlier in the hope that it would die a death, but it seems that it has been resurrected.
If it makes you feel better I'm half Italian and blonde, throw some jokes back.
I'm not sure what else to say
I made a joke not intending any offence, you guys resorted to personal abuse - you don't hear me crying.
As I said I'm more than happy for it to be removed if its causing you guys that much unintended offence.

I didn’t find it offensive in any way.
Change Welsh to Scottish/Aberdonian and its still the same joke.
I like the film; I know the scene and read the joke in that context.
I even found it mildly amusing.
Carry on posting them LL. Its not you that has the problem here.

Don't offend the Welsh. Look at what they did to Anne Robinson.
PS. LiquidLan, curiosity took me to your website. The graphic on your home page is brilliant. A full page version would be a very relaxing screen saver.

Chap walks into a bar and orders a drink...he notices that the bar maid ihas stunning blonde hair and he says..
'Have you heard the one about the blonde, the gorilla,..... '
'STOP!' Says the blonde barmaid......
'Let me just ask you something.....you see that blonde lady sitting behind you? She's three times kick boxing champion.....the blonde girl sitting to your left is known to be a nutter and doesn't care what happens to her, the blonde to your right is a heavy weight wrestler and I'm blonde and I own this place...do you really want to tell a blonde joke in here??'
'Christ no
' says the bloke..............'Not if I'm going to have to explain the punchline four times

Ok guys we've had a "full and frank" exchange of views on this one and whilst we may not have come to an agreement, I think we at least understand each other's positions.
Unsurprisingly, most of the people who posted to say that they didn't think the joke was offensive, were English. But guys believe me, when you hear this sort of thing, time and time again from people who think they've invented the best Welsh/sheep joke ever it's beyond tiresome. People who otherwise wouldn't dream of beng rude and offensive to others of different colour and ethnic origins somehow feel that it is fair game to have a go at the Welsh and also the Irish and Scots. I don't get it.
Because I thought that LiquidLan's joke wasn't funny, I concluded that it's purpose was to deliberately offend and it's at this point that jokes cease to be jokes and start being insults. I've since read John's post, sensed some contrition in what he says and I now believe that it was a "joke" gone wrong in his case and that he genuinely didn't mean to offend.
As I said, we may never agree on this issue, but at least we may now understand each other's views a little better.
I'll leave this thread open for this evening if anybody wants to have a final word then close it and leave things at that.

in the interests of fairness.....
...and in an effort to offend everyone;
Two nuns and a donkey walk into this Welsh pub, with an Irish blonde barmaid.......
.
.
.
.
sod it - cant remember the rest
.... but it was the best porn movie i ever saw
....
serious bit;
i have found that the best way to look at ANY internet forum is with~
1./ a thick skin.
2./ a well honed sense of the ridiculous (being Irish is a bonus in this respect)
3./ a good, i mean a REALLY good sense of humour.
4./ a lot of experience in sensing the context any and all posts are meant to be taken in.
this last bit isn't easy - but like riding our bikes - time spent practicing helps and it does hurt if you dont get it right*.
* see item 1. for best way to cope.
oh - apologies, i missed out one insult;
why are all these "ethnic jokes" so simple?
it is so the English can understand them....

Are you telling me that you or your friends have never had a go at the English?
I know as a "colonial" Canadian we talk about them in derogatory fashion all the time... (mostly the guys though, cause we think the girls are just marvelous
)...I honestly don't get how anyone can be offended by schoolboy tribalistic rib nudging type humor... if it effects your employability or general flow of life, sure, be offended... sick the European Human Rights court on the perps... but silly ethnic jokes???
It's just boys having fun at the level you initially got upset about.. don't read it if it's going to make your blood boil... better yet, counter it with something equally immature... Al...

I'm not sure its contrition you have senses, more a reflection that life is too short.
I posted a joke that wasn't aimed at anyone and that I didn’t feel was particularly offensive - turns out I was wrong. The joke contained some 408 words; you and others took offence at a handful of them. My response was to close the thread preventing people from continually bumping it and therefore continuing to cause offence to people.
You and Russell on there other hand have chosen to make direct and personal attacks on me and I sense no contrition from either of you, but you don't see me b!tching.
The more you keep bumping this topic the more attention you are drawing to the original route of the offence.

Well, I just had to have a look! 3 whole pages about sheep!!! I thought all my Christmaaaases had come at once!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously lads, being Welsh born and breeeeeaaaaaaaad!!! I always though one of our qualities was that we are able to laugh at ourselves. If a joke is good, fair enough, if it's not, then no one remembers it anyway!
Lighten up and get a life!!!

And another bump wonder if that was what the original post wanted
