It's proven by James Martin. He's clearly been born without a multitude of senses: nuance, timing, style, the list goes on! His sense of humour, however, certainly doesn't make up for this.Gavin Scott wrote:It's not the case actually.

Unfortunate but true.
I thought humour was the one he was lacking entirely :roll:Sput wrote:It's proven by James Martin. He's clearly been born without a multitude of senses: nuance, timing, style, the list goes on! His sense of humour, however, certainly doesn't make up for this.
Nah, he wouldn't keep making "jokes" if he didn't have *something* there. It's just really really awful. A bit like Hitler's art.StuartPlymouth wrote:I thought humour was the one he was lacking entirely :roll:Sput wrote:It's proven by James Martin.

As people have pointed out, there any many ways that music and rhythm can enhance the life of deaf people. And don't forget that 'deafness' can actually cover quite a range of hearing loss from total to a fair bit less.StuartPlymouth wrote:perhaps I am being obtuse here, but isn't "music for the deaf" something of a lost cause, a little like signing on BBC specifically for the blind?Neil Green wrote:A friend of mine has been awarded the OBE. But then he works very hard for a charity he set up himself to use music with the deaf community, so he definitely deserves it.
I'm not exactly sure how someone gets put forward for an OBE etc, but I certainly feel that anyone who works that tirelessly for a charity supporting others should be eligible.My sister runs a charity, no one has sponsored her for an OBE, MBE etc and she works tirelessly 18 hours a day. Maybe I will sponsor her myself if I thought she could even get the time off to go and collect it.
ROFL!! JM is probably penning his own 'Mein Kampf' right now. 300 Pages of how the world is ganging up on him, how much he hates "coons", "fags" and girls that won't sleep with him.Sput wrote:

It's no wonder he likes the BNP (well the men of the BNP), they're the only bunch of people that fit that demographic!Jamez wrote:ROFL!!
