Cheers Jon'o. The tried and trusted solution to censorship in a dictatorship, eh, as perfected by the Spanish filmaker Carlos Saura. How's about Luton Town the good guys and Watford the Huns, oops?

Now that would just never catch on. It's fundamentally flawed, so it is.

Ok?! How about when you talk about Luton why don't you say Watford instead? EG: 'Henrik Larsson was brilliant at Euro 2004, Watford's going to miss him next year.' I could reply: 'Luton were a team founded by an Irishman, for the Irish community...erm

...Watford are going to be a challange this year with that bloke Prso up front for them.'

thats that sorted then lads, just the RMK one now and thats a good nights work

**liam88** · 04/07/2004, 10:11 PM

How about we refer to RMK as Mick McCarthy and Big Mick as RMK-no RMK supporter would want to say "RMK was in the wrong in Japan" and similarly no Mick fans would esnt to be caught saying "Mick is a traitor" thus no mroe argumants.......................

Nah

We're up to our necks in straw for hats, surrender or you'll die...Well according to some Watford (the real Watford that is) fan mate of the Army Groupie, Luton is deffo the team for Irish fans around Watford let alone Luton. Think PP would have something to say about that.

I'd tend to agree.

I was a lone voice 'midst der Hun whenever I watched Watford as a youngster. Although the town has a sizeable Irish community, this wasn't really reflected in the club's following. Just check out the forum on their Rivals website, Big Watford Love, for evidence of what they're like. Not nice.

Hmmmm?! 'That Gay Parade'

......'Another reason why QPR board is queer'

...'Al Queda [sic] town and QPFairies.' Is this not the club made great by Elton John? As for 'Pluto is NOT a real planet'

this is just some banjo spanking, cousin kissing, Cleetus from Chesham gobbing off, surely.

Mailed off a complaint last week, got this reply this afternoon, anyone else get something similar?

Got a confirmation mail from ofcom as well during the week that my complaint is being looked at and they will be in touch about the outcome, the system works!!

Thank you for your e-mail to ITV about the sketch involving Ray Houghton. I am very sorry that you were upset by this, it is never our intention to distress or offend our viewers and obviously in this instance we got it wrong. We appreciate that David and Frank's humour may not have universal appeal and some may find their approach at times tasteless. Ray Houghton was happy to participate in this sketch and the producer of this series, a Dubliner, was the guy in the paramilitary costume. We do regret any distress caused by this sketch but no malice was intended. The series is made by Avalon, an independent production company, and I know that they will be taking your comments, and those of other viewers, on board. Thank you again for taking the time and trouble to contact us.

Check out the vented spleen over Marie Jones for how these sad tw*ts can 'laugh at themselves'. Author of 'A Night In November' I always thought of it as a bit of an insult to the intelligence. However my view changed dramatically when I found out how much it upset our wee c*nts.
