Highland Capital Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Did Danny Baker not talk up some female folk band quite a lot a couple of years back on his show, but failed to mention his daughter was a member? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Danny Baker is a completely unfunny w****r. I'm delighted he's been emptied. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 But the picture wasn't a black woman giving birth to a chimp. It was a chimp in a posh suit, with old-world upper class parents. The BBC didn't show the picture. In my opinion there is nothing offensive about that picture, nothing at all. There is a real historic connection with black people and monkeys but it's certainly not jumping out in that picture. I have always defended political correctness, and generally judge anyone who uses the phrase 'pc gone mad' in a serious way as a numpty. Stewart Lee sums it up perfectly for me when he calls it (and I'm paraphrasing) 'a clumsy set of rules that make our society a bit more kind and a bit less cruel'. For me this decision reeks of clumsy pc management, by folk who have legitimised unreasonable offence. I'd go as far to call anyone who says they are offended by this a complete idiot. I couldn't give a f**k if you're offended - just saying it isn't enough. It means nothing.I do agree with a lot of those points, his intent may have been totally innocent. However, he’s surely smart enough to know how it could be perceived. And that’s all that matters these days really. I don’t like the witch hunt culture but it’s been going on long enough now for him to know that ‘that’s not how I intended it’ just won’t wash anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe they just won't bother. Recently I was doing the Kirkintilloch Treasure Trail with the kids and one of the clues was a postbox with "GR" on. Presumably that's dating back to Bettie's auld man and was never updated or replaced. They've had 67 years to save up for it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Today i watched in disbelief the true calling card of a moron. Was sat in a very short street (about 500 yards long) when an Audi entered. He got to over 1/3 of the way up the street and this was his cue to gun the Audi to 40MPH and slam on his brakes as he swung the car Into his parking space. I already knew German cars are mostly driven by bellends but this behaviour was exceptionally moronic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably that's dating back to Bettie's auld man and was never updated or replaced. Most postboxes in Scotland have never been changed from George VI to Elizabeth II. There was a big fuss about her being Queen Elizabeth II of England, but the first Queen Elizabeth of Scotland. Rather than face defacement or vandalism of E II R postboxes, Scotland kept the G VI R ones.

Highland Capital Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Refer to people whom they don't know, but are fans of, by their first name. This is particularly true of some football fans who for reasons only known to them talk about the players like they know them personally. Most of the bonkers Michael Jackson fans do this too. If you don't know the person personally, talking about them in this over-familiar sense is just weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget who it was who said it, but I good quote I heard was when someone says 'We want our country back', what they really mean is 'I want my country white'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
