Not really, but this could have come from an episode of Green Wing.

With hindsight it probably wasn't the best idea for the thread title. Those people that would be most likely to find it funny would be least likely to look at it.

Sometimes I'm a bit of a numb-nut.

Jack, don't take this the wrong way, but I did suspect that as it was your post there might be a not-entirely-serious angle to it.

And was I wrong?

Bit alarmed that you are reading the Daily Mail online though...

I read a number of papers the other day and found the story. It amused me so I looked on line for it. Actually it's unusual for me to find stories because normally I read cartoons, telly, cricket, football results and puzzles. And which celebrities look the most like monkeys.

That story is so weird! If you were feeling a bit sick or something, I can't imagine that seeing people riding round and round in circles is really going to help much.

Whoa, defensive or what? People will think she's your mother.

(And you're talking to yourself.)

She should count herself lucky he wasn't riding a motor bike naked.
Actually, judging by certain posters' comments here, she may have considered herself very lucky if he looked like a certain fraise blonde chappy...

oddly i found this strangely realistic (ignore the over-use of adverbs). i could well imagine it. sorry, i'll leave now, before people start shouting at me.

More familial relationships on the board? Whatever next!?

(I didn't take the title too seriously when I saw it was you either!)

OK, I'd just like to stress at this point that I am *not* Jack's mother.

I was a little disconcerted as I did not have him down as a Daily Mail reader, which it transpires he isn't. So that's all right.

Jack's mother? Surely a revelation best kept for the final episode of the Comedy Forum Sitcom's dumbed-down, crowd-pleasing Series 3?

Not that I'm saying that sitcoms in whose final episode one character is revealed to be another's mother are in any way dumbed-down and crowd-pleasing, she adds hastily.

good job i suppose, or as roq says you'd probably be hanging of the edge of a cliff in an ambulance by now.

I can vouch for Pashmina not being my mother. For a start I'm older than she is (Pashmina, that is, although that'd get us a slot on Trisha, no doubt) and...no, there is no and.

Don't say you're not tempted... God knows, she needs the ratings.

Would "I'm older than my mother" be enough to get us on though? Maybe I should get myself a girlfriend who's a lettuce or something.

I think it could work, but there would have to be a fight involved. And the lettuce would need to have a Dark Secret.

Or is that just Jerry Springer?
