We could end up overrun by the bastards. It would be the opposite wouldn't it? There's only so many cows because we breed and farm them for food (and milk). If we didn't need so many cows to eat, I'd guess it would be more likely that they'd go extinct rather then we get overrun by them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 27, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2017 In general on the vegetarian thing, the older I get, the more I find myself agreeing with vegetarianism. I'm not sure if I could ever fully make the switch myself. I love the taste of meat. But it's something I sympathise with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It recks their head when you explain that if you believe in creationism then God game us teeth to be meet eaters. Therefore being a veggie is going against God's will. Unless they believe in the theory of evolution of course, in which case being a veggie is fine and some could argue a natural progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 As a mixed grill is my favourite meal, I don't think I could give meat up fully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of mammals are herbivores and have canine teeth for eating things like bark, or they just have them for display to threaten off other animals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Lifeboats Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Last night I ventured into Brum for the first time in years to see Ricky Gervais' show. Thanks to the VTers who advised me to park at Five Ways. It worked a treat. Towards the end of the show a guy walked right to the front of the stage and interputed the show with "You used to be funny but you're not any more". Gervais just said "And?". The audience was there because they do think he's funny and reacted accordingly. Security removed him from the Arena before he could say anything else. If you've paid money and think the show is rubbish, why not leave and have a nice meal and a drink so that it hasn't been a wasted night. Regardless of whether you like the artist concerned or not, what the hell did he think it would achieve? What was his dream scenario? Gervais is hardly going to say "Fair point. I'll train to become an accountant instead. Thanks for the career advice." Nor is the audience likely to rise as one and shout "He's right you know. Your work has decreased in quality in comparison to several years ago." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted June 28, 2017 Author VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2017 Although "And?" isn't a very witty response. Most standups have a battery of heckler ripostes up their sleeves - "Is that your own brain, or are you running it in for a cretin?", that sort of thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gervais certainly looked a little taken aback, but I think he would have put the guy in his place had the security not dragged him out within seconds. I like it when a comedian comes up with a put down specifically for the heckler, rather than just a generic one they came up with before hand.

BOF Posted June 28, 2017 Moderator Share Posted June 28, 2017 Then there's Frankie Boyle's approach to hecklers. That's another level, as you'd expect from him 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrentVilla Posted June 28, 2017 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2017 I sae Frankie in a club when he was on his way up and he was everything you would expect. Some poor chap about 5 mins in got up and went for a piss. Boyle didn't say a word as he edged along his row and walked from the front of the arena to the back and out the doors. Making it very obvious to everyone else he was watching him but carrying on with his routine. As soon as the doors shut he stopped, crouched on the edge of the stage and launched into a chat with this guys girlfriend. Just chatting away as she told him her name, what she did for a living and all sorts of other fairly mundane stuff like who her best mate was. Anyway the chap comes back in and like a flash Boyle goes back to his routine. Only a "alright fella" as he takes his seat. So he carries on with his routine and everyone has forgotten about the guy going for a piss. So he gets to the end of his routine and starts saying what a great audience we've been... in fact he only ever had one better audience in Birmingham... He then proceeds to launch into this story about how the last time he was in Birmingham after the show this girl and her mate had waited to meet him. Yep you guessed it, this guys girlfriend and her mate. He then proceeds to go into graphic detail the various things he did to her that night and that she did to him. This is Frankie Boyle we are talking about, you can imagine... All the stuff he got from her earlier is coming out, her job, her mates name, her tattoo. Everyone is dying laughing as he acts out shagging her brains out on stage. Then he makes his goodbye and as he turns to walk off he says "that'll teach you Joe for going for a piss when I'm talking" cue huge cheers and and clapping and off he goes. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
