Heh heh --- I got into hot water a while back with my ex ( who sports a funny hairstyle these days!). We were walking along the street and she pointed out a leather clad, short haired female walking towards us as one of here new friends and asked me what I thought Roll Eyes

My reply was that I thought she looked like a "screaming d**e" --- unfortunately I was overheard and heavily berated. My response was "But, she IS a screaming d**e!" .... can't bl**dy win!!

Anyways -- nothing he said should have given offence. Sheesh, I am an overweight, bearded, baldy old git who likes rock music and is slightly disabled ---- nobody on TV could say anything without touching on one of my deficiencies --- but do the management spring to my defence ?? Erm ... nope.

Another example of people with no lives trying to impinge on those that do.

paraphrasing Rowan Atkinson (again) ;"it is more important to have the right to offend than to be offended". Where would comedy be if there were no butts for the jokes? Besides, surely comedy only works if there is actually more than a grain of truth in what it says...and I'd probably go further and argue that a country's tolerance of satire is an indication of how free its citizens can be. Ah well, getting too serious now....and all over some gay Irish feller whose finest hour was probably as the priest who was desperate to show how young and hip he was in that episode of Father Ted

Nov 2009 at 23:28 I think if you listen to this type of entertainment, you will be aware it could be "edgy" Graham Norton has been covering Steve Wright on Radio2 last week and although I onced found him mildly amusing at times, last week Radio2 just made me shudder-it was uncomfortably poor!
