So let's get this right. You pretend to look cool by overstretching the truth about how you sat quite close to a C-list celebrity and then to cover up your blushes you throw in a joke about someone's physical disability. Mmmmmm liberal. No wonder you prefer Jim Davidson to Ant & Dec.
I would say that someone who was in semi-retirement having fractured her skull and collarbone had a physical disability, it does not follow that she is disabled. You made that connection. Not me.
For the benefit of your more stupid readers (ie me) can you please explain how your joke was not a reference to her being 4'5" tall? Was it a sexist joke in some way? Was it purely surreal? Or was it some literary reference that I missed?
Again whilst being 4'5" isn't being disabled (and I never said it was) it is hardly a fucking "physical benefit" when the entire world is designed for the use of taller people. Surely the word disability is not only a legal term?
What really takes the piss though is you making a joke about someones appearance and then when you get called on it trying to hold the high moral ground by arguing fucking semantics. Either be politically correct or don't; you cannot be both in this instance.
How dare you call me a bigot you potato-munching bog-trotting etc etc etc etc
(you thought I was genuinely cross for a minute there didn't you?)

Voley meeting The Krankies, not even I could write shit like that.
PLEASE tell me you said FANDABIDOZI! in a loud voice to them? PLEASE?!
Creepy!
And welcome back!
Opinion is divided between OMG!!! and 'Scary'.
I didn't speak to them. I have nothing to say.
Ewar, under that cap is Gary Wilmot's tablecloth. Just thought I'd let you know.
(Massive in-joke)
Ha! Tres drole.
"I didn't speak to them" - not technically "met" then really, more "sat opposite"
I don't get the in-joke.
We did say 'excuse me' to each other a few times. And I helped her down from the luggage rack.

What makes you think she's disabled? I certainly don't. That makes you the bigot.

My joke was sizeist - but I don't consider it a disability. I think it's OK, given that her entire career is based on being on the short side.
Had no idea she'd been injured. How do you keep up with this stuff? And write your massive review of the decade?
I know it's wrong to laugh at other people's misfortunes but:

I can't help but imagine that her two little thumbs are up as she falls through the air....
