thanks pimm, shes good
it used to be an old retort, if someone was taking the mick out of your mum or disabled people, the old reply used to be "my mums dead" or "my brother has down syndrome" usually said with a completely dead pan face. it used to be funny as you watch the person either miss a couple of heart beats or look completely ashamed with what they just did.
obviously doesn't really have its place on the forum,
my apologies, it was bad taste
