You dare not say anything, for fear that someone has caught it on their cell phones, or others are taping your personal conversations just so that they can cause mischeif later. You only have to look at the hoo haa over here in America, concerning the owner of a baseball team, whose private conversation was taped, then sold - probably at a very high price - to the media. I think its disgusting behaviour. We do need to be respectful of others, of course, but it has gone beyond the pale. |

The political correct brigade are a load of inept head feelers who should be placed on the largest rocket possible and fired into space and rid the country of this malignant malaise. |

Hope that does not offend anyone. If it has, I will just go into a dark room and have a very polically correct weep, almost as convincing as a footballer at the end of the season saying goodbye to all the mugs who help to keep his multi millions safe and well topped up. Sorry to any football supporters I might have offended, or any sensitive dark rooms......or people prone to weeping. I'm just sorry.

I can think of many instances, but it would be non-PC to quote them here, so I agree with Rod, I am just very sorry in case those with a humour bypass get upset. |
