If Radio 1 do play that wretched song.....

on Sunday, then I believe it will show that this country has lost any small semblance of moral decency it was holding onto. And that the heads of a national institution have let all thoughts of ethical reasoning go out of the window in favour of political correctness.

I can only hope that it doesn't make number one.

But, my God, this country has sunk to an all-time low.

Very sad.

There are a lot of coincidences about! Some are barely believable.

Oh I might have guessed - have a look in the Oxford English Dictionary.
Disrespect : noun; a lack of courtesy, discourtesy.

It is NOT a verb and NEVER has been despite its use by the likes of Catherine Tait (remember that she was playing a comedy character) or kids on "da street"
This is getting very tedious.

Love it to bits .

Nonu - I am not "dissing" (now that REALLY isn't a word) anybody but do keep up - the name is Gracesmum. I think it used to be Cheelu who tended to get it wrong. One of those coincidences, I suppose.

gracesmum Tue 16-Apr-13 17:41:19

j08getting like a game of ping pong though, wasn't it? As you say husbands will be happy.

(If you wanted............tomorrow is always another day...grin)

gracesmum Tue 16-Apr-13 17:39:53

As I said Greatnan and tegan at least.....but hey if it pleases you to take a pop at me so be it. Not like you to miss an opportunity. I don't actually need to Google limpid prose such as "get real" - just wondered what was "unreal" about my opinion.

Nonu Tue 16-Apr-13 17:36:24

What you on about Grace ???

Incidentally , did you google it ?

Yours was the only comment about apologising , that jumped off the page .

grin

j08 Tue 16-Apr-13 17:34:34

Oh, I was enjoying that. Still husband will be hungry. smile

j08 Tue 16-Apr-13 17:33:32

gracesmum Tue 16-Apr-13 17:30:19

But that's the point - you did.sad

j08 Tue 16-Apr-13 17:29:43

Sorry tell me again what I'm supposed to asking the almighty' s forgiveness making excuses for.

j08 Tue 16-Apr-13 17:27:29

Have you really not got anything else to think about?

Do move on. I did n' t start this rubbish.

gracesmum Tue 16-Apr-13 17:27:18

#runningoutof defences excusesthough?

j08 Tue 16-Apr-13 17:25:25

I didn' t dismiss anything. I went into the gardens and planted some violas. #yougettingdesperatetrackingmythreads

gracesmum Tue 16-Apr-13 17:21:23

Jo8 - at about 9.45 you started a thread about the Boston bombs and at 11.07 you made your "joke" about blowing someone up. Not on your mind? How could you dismiss this outrage so quickly? Don't pretend others are the only people aware of how ill-timed and ill-judged your flippant remark was. This is also a PUBLIC forum where anybody can read our posts. So could you and anybody else who wants to back you up and defend your comment just accept that the responsibility for it lies, however unintentionally, with you, yourself.
Can we move on now?

j08 Tue 16-Apr-13 17:14:02

I'm trying to account for all the flipping' fuss. #greatschemeofthings

j08 Tue 16-Apr-13 17:12:14

Eeuuurrgh! You watch breakfast tv! And Pointless! (dunno what that is)

j08 Tue 16-Apr-13 17:09:58

Yes. Definitely barmy.

absent Tue 16-Apr-13 17:09:26

j08 It doesn't seem especially relevant but for the purposes of clarity, I watch about 30 minutes of BBC Breakfast in the morning and occasionally watch Pointless in the afternoon. I never watch television in the evening or indeed at any other times than those I have mentioned. So no – the deaths of three people and the injury to more than 140 others are in my mind simply because they are such terrible things.

What the hell are you trying to account for? You said something that was really rather stupid and now you want to suggest that it was someone else's fault.
