Do NOT Mention _______ on this Forum

[Deano!]

Just a warning everyone. It is now forbidden to mention _______ on this forum. Oh shit! I just did!!

[Alex L]

Who is that then? I think there may be a few.

[Deano!]

I can't say.

If its Giggs then Oz is a couple of weeks behind us here Deano.

[Deano!]

Rodders, no it ain't Ryan Giggs. Actually I think we get all the really important news like who rooting who in the world of show biz and sport down here in Oz as soon as your hear about it up there in civilization.

But just don't mention '_______' or we're all for it.

Who... Hugh Bonneville... Jeremy Clarkson...??? Why can't we mention them? I hear one is a Yorkshire twat who presents a motoring programme and the other is an actor, but I have no idea which is which.

I do. I really do. But it has been announced through the press today. Yes, just when you thought it couldn't happen it has. In the new 'Dambusters' movie the name of Guy Gibson's pooch will be 'Digger'. The name Guy Gibson gave his pooch in real life was a name that rhymes with that, but has a differnt letter at the beginning. So there! You all now know. Stephen Fry has written the script and he has said today that 'Digger' is far more appropriate in this day and age.

Guy: "I say boy, here!"
'Digger' comes running.

Its likely to be just one of many changes to the verite, as happens in many films retelling historical events. Not really something to get particularly worked up about these days.

I have always been entertained by Stephen Fry but now he is spouting this political correctness shyte I shall have to have a rethink.
For fucks sake, the word describes a colour. It was the fucking Yank slave owners and the KKK who debased the word, which is used by Afro Americans to describe themselves. So, who the fuck is being sensitive?
This is just another case of the fucking Yanks rewriting history to suit themfuckingselves. Twatts.
