It depends on what you are asking, are you asking about similar cities, or clubs that play in black and white? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, not many people are as pathetic as you. My parents were not rich but in 1969 they won a new Colour TV in a competition, and my obvious point is that "Colour TVs existed" in 1969. I'm sure you knew what I was saying, but you felt like making a stupid comment. Yes - I know - I shouldn't have reacted to you !!!!!! You shouldn't judge other people by your own standards.

I read it like ”oh this obvious half boring but sometimes fun” joke again. I’ve used it myself in both fun and boring ways. I guess sometimes people just decide to read something as a negative thing.

Mate, honestly, that was a joke and I've seen it dozens of times here and elsewhere. Let's say someone buys a new kettle. You'll then get someone saying "Look at me, look at me, I have boiling water. Pathetic". As if having access to boiling water is some kind of luxury thus making the person actually saying it the real butt of the joke, so really nothing to take personally. It's a deliberate over-reaction to something quite mundane for comic effect. Look at me, look at me, trying to explain jokes. Pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
