Like I wrote on Facebook, if you want me to display humour, ask me something about John Simpson, as I've got loads of jokes about how he will willingly volunteer to open the batting if Alistair Cook loses his form and how far below county standard Simpson currently is as a wicket-keeper.

Sadly, I have no jokes in my repertoire about Beefy or Pedro Collins, so please don't expect anything funny on this thread from me.

Beefy to Ped

''No point entering the competition mate, that bloke Coleman always wins.''

"Which one is Pedro Collins?" Asks could be almost anyone of the 8000+ Middlesex members.

Beefy: "Don't you hate the way Jonathan is staring blankly at the photo of us, desperately trying to think of something funny that we might be saying?"
Ped: "I have no sympathy for him. Some of the things he writes on MTWD are disgusting and he hasn't got a sense of humour. I'm glad to get away from a club supported by Jonathan".

Well, I've tried to say something funny, so my effort cannot be faulted.

Those who are fans of Pedro Collins will be delighted to know that on Tuesday he said that he hopes to play for West Indies again, so he may return to a TV screen near you soon, and you never know, maybe he could play when West Indies next tour England, which according to the ECB's website will be in 2012.

Beefy to Ped " You can let go of my hand now. You have proven you can hold on to something with your hands"

Beefy to Ped...."Just smile and get it over with.... That Kimmy is obsesed with taking photos of us with the players!"



Kimmy

Ped: "No matter how long Jonathan spends thinking of something funny that either I or Beefy might say, it's not going to happen, so he might as well go to bed and just forget about about thinking of something funny".

Pedro: "I really loved those adverts you did with Allan Lamb, Beefy."


Adelaide

Beefy - "Sad to see you go Ped, but have to agree, this has all got a touch too personal and in extremely bad taste".

I don't think I'm capable of coming up with something that Beefy or Pedro Collins might say that isn't personal or in bad taste.

I am genuinely ashamed that the subject of John Simpson makes up 100% of the funny things that I believe myself to be able to say, and I am hoping to drive that figure down by learning jokes on other subjects. I guess that I need to watch comedy on TV, which is something I currently seldom do.

Some people have said that when I try to be funny, I am not, but when I don't try to be funny, I am.

I really want to say something funny on this thread, but I can't see it ever happening, although I don't want to give up as that would show a bad attitude, even if I know that my poor attempts at jokes are painful to watch.

See JW.... you trying to be funny and not being is funny in itself!!

Ped to Beefy,Its a deal then,you can buy the hanging basket for £20.

Through that link, I explained that what I mean by believing myself to be able to make humorous statements about John Simpson is that I believe the random-nature of mentions of Simpson or Ben Scott within conversations between Lower Mound and I to be funny. We once even mentioned Scott in a McDonald's in Birmingham, and it doesn't get much more random that that! However, I acknowledge that most people don't find it funny that Simpson or Scott feature (for what some might say is for no reason) in many of my posts, so I suppose that I should stop doing it.

Contrary to popular belief, I don't like causing people offence and do not think that it is beyond the realms of possibility that Simpson can excel with the bat or gloves in future years.

Anyway..... Back on topic!!!


Ped to Beefy.... Okay, okay you can have my shirt, just stop squeezing my hand it really hurts!!

Kimmy

Ped : "Beefy, what are you doing with your left hand?"

Beefy - "Sorry pal, selectors have to leave you out of the Sussex game, some youngster needs a run but I could always get you a game with Cowley Rangers, Knock at number 3 and Kimmy has offered to do a lovely tea. Need to watch our umpire though, has a habit of drinking his own red wine between overs".

Ped: "I was upset that Toby Roland-Jones and Steven Finn played instead of me v Sussex at Uxbridge"
Beefy: "Yeah, I know. There's too many Southerners in the Middlesex side"

8 days without an entry , wow someone sure killed this thread !!

Pedro to Beefy , " I know the bar is just behind us but I'm still not buying you a drink at 10:30 in the morning !!"

And who will probably get the blame for there not being any posts on this thread for eight days?

I devote a lot of hours to MTWD, often hours on end if I have returned from a well-deserved night's sleep, a day at college or a visit to my other sporting club, so to get the blame for everything that goes wrong on this site hurts me.

I know that I don't have a sense of humour, I know that I have nothing funny to say about the photo of Beefy and Pedro Collins, I know that I don't drink alcohol, I know that I don't have social skills, I know that I don't have the ability to back players born in the North-West of England, I know that I don't mind Mark Ramprakash as much as others do, I know that I am not totally happy with the way the club are being run and I know that there are plenty of other issues people have with me, but isn't it about time people focus on what I can do rather than what I can't do?

I have never claimed that this site would be quieter without me and I have never used my syndrome as an excuse for my actions, but maybe I will have to start doing so if that is what it takes to stop getting the blame for everything that goes wrong on this site.

Beefy to Ped:Ok its a deal,i wont sing anymore,Ped: And i wont do the sprinkler!

You do have a sense of humour, Jonathan, but it is very internalised or self-referential humour, which is often difficult for other people to appreciate.

If you try writing fewer posts and keeping your posts shorter, I'm sure many other people will appreciate your posts more.

And at least your humour is not malevolent towards other posters, JW.

When MTWD posters try to make themselves look clever or funny by baiting and/or bullying other members of the MTWD community, they make themselves look very unpleasant indeed (however nice they might be in real life). They often also find themselves on absolute final warnings.
