Now for some great examples of English humour, read the comments on that pageAN OFFICE chair was destroyed after it was set on fire on the grassy area, off Maude Street, Kendal, this afternoon.
Fire crews from Kendal attended along with police.
A spokesman for the fire and rescue service said: "A delinquent set fire to an office chair in the middle of a grassy area and it was extinguished using one hose jet."

The chair knew the risks. Gang Warfare in Kendal is rife, and when you choose a side, you gotta be down with the risks. This was a declaration of war by the Standard Lamp Posse of Kendal. No-one messes with Lamps, Bo.
I was particularly heartened to see that none of the comments contained mint cake related puns.
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

JUst don't pass any gas while sitting.This story has upset me so much i don't think i'm going to be able to sleep tonight - i work with office chairs very closely on a daily basis and they've always treated me well
and to hear stories like this makes me sick to my stomach.

What fun the comments made for!
I've been a bit addicted recently to reading comments to news articles online, but generally of a more serious bent. The reaction to that story was great fun!

Awww, 'twould appear the management of the Gazette were not amused:
Talk about idiots. As someone said, they probably got more hits on this story because of the comments than they have ever had. Why else would anyone have stumbled across the Westmoreland Gazette, unless he/she was looking for the international headquarters of Sheep Fuckers Anonymous.Westmorland Gazette Administration says...

Re: The Westmoorland Gazzette.
Scooter, there are a whole bunch of comments after that, so I suspect that post was a put-on.Talk about idiots. As someone said, they probably got more hits on this story because of the comments than they have ever had.
