Black helicopters just flew over?. MOD?

[Jules-and-Boo]

One didn?t have lights, really curious.

Did anyone see them?

No

I think we're meant to call them Helicopters of Colour....

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Pathetic. Grow up.

The fact you didn't see them means they did their job correctly 🤔🤓

I'll admit that humour (even poor humour)/intonation/etc are often lost in email/digial screen....but blimey, you must be an absolute hoot at parties....

https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ is good for tracking - unlike FlightRadar it covers most military stuff as well. Click on the icon, it shows you flightpath plus ID info.

LOL. I assumed "of colour" was in the same bracket as "coloured" - i.e. it's a no-no...

I'm inclined to call this a "stealth chopper". And I'm very curious to hear more!

It wouldn't have been funny however you had said it.

[Alan Medic]

Well I found the 'joke' amusing. However, I get the impression from other posts that I really should disapprove of it, but I'm not sure why. If that's the case would someone please explain or is it simply because my comedy bar is set too low?

[Sue]

Some "jokes" just aren't appropriate these days.

I don't have any appetite for getting into a long discussion about it. It will just go the same way as some other threads on here.

[TheCat]

Apologies to any helicopters I may have offended.

[KidKruger]

Discgraceful Cat, next you?ll be calling blackboards ?boards of colour?, zebra crossings ?of colour and white?, and very dark items ?as of colour as coal?.

Helicopters do have feelings you know.

Gotta love the EDF !

Your comedy bar is set fine I reckon.

But others? righteous comments might cause one to question that, bravo you for openly asking!

[Nigello]

This kind of idle distraction is exactly what those shadowy leaders want so as to distract our attention. We?re still no closer to knowing who, what, why, etc.

[JohnL]

Anyway those black helicopters - I'm watching out for them.

It's like Area 51 around here sometimes.

[Alan Medic]

My unresearched theory is that they were being filmed for a movie.

[Jules-and-Boo]

Could well be, Alan Medic.

I did check the websites and nothing scheduled.

Great answer!

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

I?m a hoot for sure but given your past posts and your overtone of racism you aren?t funny and it wasn?t funny. It was childish.

That's the great thing about humour, it's subjective. Not a black or white issue.

[malumbu]

I don't normally rush to the cat's defence but a bit of an over-reaction here.

I spend time challenging those who make the silly "oh that is politically correct" comments, which essentially belies their casual homophobia, transphobia, racist, etc etc views. But they live in Bromley where that is the norm. I get an old school friend talking about 'virtual signalling' and having a go at the BBC and many of the adverts for dis-proportionally using ethnic minorities, something that I don't notice or even care about. And again I think middle England casual racism.

But on this occasion I just think it is banter/stirring up debate. No need to be so po faced.

I could do the same in respect to not using terms such as black sheep of the family, the dark side etc etc.

I do cringe at times with Seth MacFarlane, who seems to do his upmost to use stereotypes and the like. His defence of the reference to Down's Syndrome and Sara Palin was that he is an equal opportunity offender. But I look back on some of the terms I would have used, thinking they were quite harmless in previous years, with a bit of a shudder. https://abcnews.go.com/WN/sarah-palin-family-guy-controversy-rages/story?id=9898355

Sorry this thread has mutated. See what you have done Cat?
