Can we have some kind of icon in the title of posts in the "jokes" section please? like a "joke alert" warning? I accidentally click on "jokes" thinking they are serious questions, and they're just not funny. I want to avoid a further assault on my ears/eyes. in fact, I think the Trade Descriptions Act should be brought into play. people should be rounded up and shot. or at least lined up for a good shaking.

thank you.

I think people are sometimes joking when they post and claim their entry to be a joke.!!

or rather, they post something and no one agrees.. and they bleat "but it was a joke!"

pah!

so does the Ed comment on "suggestions"?
If it is in the "Jokes" section doesn't that indicate they are suposed to be humour ? Unsure I understand the complaint.

I'm unsure one can identify posts that could be jokes or not. Too much admin.

Oh no, not St. Albans !?!?! That's just down the road ! I must look out for a cow next time I pass thorugh then :-)

(But it was just a joke !!!!)
Question Author
yeah yeah.. whateverrrrr!

okay, for example.. I see a post that says "my poor cat" and think "hmmm.. I may be able to offer some valuable advice here" (as always, lol), click on it, and it's a "joke".

if the title said "JOKE - my poor cat" I'd know if was another feeble attempt at a joke, and wouldn't bother looking.

where are you then, OG? just so we can avoid each other ;o)
cat joke? where?
i love cat jokes
