Harty can you please explain to me what a window licker is?

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Yes, he was referring to the people on here using a phrase which is derogatory towards the mentally handicapped. Which you can't do on the radio.

No he suggested that some of the people on here should perhaps get off here and go lick some windows instead. Entirely not the same thing.

So this Gene Hunt quote;

"this investigation is moving slower than a spastic in a magnet factory"

Well is this insulting and if so, did people complain to the beeb?

Actually I imagine that they probably did Piers. But in any case, Gene Hunt is a fictional character in a drama so that really is rather a poor analogy.





5 pages now (I use 40 per thread) and you really could have guessed how this was going to pan out.

I give up, and look forward to the days when all you guys are happily broadcasting whatever you want on the airwaves

But did NSC, after all it was broadcast on prime time BBC1.

Is Mark still at your place?

I really have no idea. And this really isn't worth prattling on about, IMO.

And yes, Mark is indeed still here and I see from my MS Office Communicator that he sits at his desk as I type.

I'm sure if you watch re-runs of 70's sit com plenty is said that is deemed offensive today

Almost certainly, and I think that's the point of Gene Hunt. He's a parody of those times so any such criticism of his dialog is misplaced.

My opinion is that Hart said something he shouldn't have and he apologised. If anyone feels that is an inadequate response (and I could understand why some might feel that way I suppose) they should take it up with the BBC and ask for his removal, and they should do that instead of carping on about on here.

If anyone is offended by off the cuff comments like that you are a silly billy, and a BENNY.

What?
A Benny tied to a tree?

On the argus website, there is some suggestion (in the comments section) that Hawsey and Harty have been suspended by SCR - is this true?

(sorry if mentioned earlier in thread)

Well according to many on here they've done nothing wrong...

I am given to understand that this is NOT the case.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I fall asleep on the train regularly and probably do end up licking the windows...

If you are NOT a benny tied to a tree then you ARE a benny on the LOOSE.

As the person who sits opposite him I can confirm that TMLS is a window licker, a benny on the loose, a spacka, a retard and on good days a flid.

 

[countrygull]

I thought I'd just throw my lot in with the moral minority here. He shouldn't have said it on the BBC, it's out of context with the programme (unlike the aforementioned Life on Mars which parodies the 70s) and as such it could offend. By such `political correctness` the common usage of such terms as `n*gger` and `sp*stic` which used to be commonplace in the 70s - has been mostly eradicated - and society is much the better for it (IMHO). As for Ian Hart's devotion to the Albion, his years spent supporting the club etc - that is completely irrelevant. He needs to temper his frequently sexist and arguably racist remarks - to say nothing of this latest faux pas - when broadcasting on a programme where such remarks are completely out of context with the discussion.

Is he a Joey too?
By the way I'm a Benny on the loose.

What about a Benny tied to a loose tree?

 

[Soul Finger]

Yep. Let's face it. If ever the British Special Olympics ran out of players for retard basketball they need look no further than NSC.
