Quids. . If you have fucked my mum, feel free. Honestly i wont mind. My mum is 60 and you are what. . . 30 something? Big result mum. . . Not such a result for you. . . But making random stuff up just wont do


And dont be so cranky just because west ham are losing


And i am nice. Mostly.

Basically, Messrs Ross and Brand screwed-up.

You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who disagrees with that.


But surely it's up to the offended party to decide to what degree he's offended.


Maybe Sachs finds all the '78 year old man' stuff more offensive than the event itself. I would.

2 wrongs not making a right and all that, if I remember correctly Sachs portrayal of a dimwitted Spanish stereotype was deemed too offensive to air in(admittedly Francos fascist and reactionary)Spain...so at a guess thats 40 million offended Spaniards. Terrible.
Nobody thinks this is a massive publicity stunt by the BBC to inject some interest in two very unfunny 'comics' the BBC (and by definition, the licence payer) has put a great deal of money into and whose ratings are not taking off until now? Everyone does well from this, the papers, politicians, stars, has been stars and wannabe stars. We just pay for it and keep the whole show on the road. I'm not cynical, they are.
We are paying for them and have no say about what they do or say. It's a massive publicity stunt for the BBC and everyone involved. They're taking the piss. No one will suffer, they'll all do well out of this and we, the little people, will continue paying for it.

IIRC by monday the media were saying that they were up to 40 complaints, think the wall-to-wall coverage of it in the press has helped increase the complaints (remember a similar build-up occured after the poppadom-gate on Celeb BB a few years back).


In a way its understandable that the press have leapt onto this - I dare say their financial correspondents have never been so overworked before, and it has made a bit of a change.


If it had been so distressing to Andrew Sachs I'm sure it wouldn't have taken until the following week for it to be a news story, and I'm sure its more upsetting for him to be doorstepped as soon as he leaves home by a press pack than it was to listen to msg's left on his phone by a couple of overpaid/overgrown little boys.


It's not clear on the transcipts what is said in the voicemail and what is banter between them in the studio - while this doesn't completely clear them, it may explain why it took a while for the fuss happen.

have listened to the first one - did giggle several times, am wondering if they did actually leave the msg's or if they hung up the phone after hearing the beep (esp if Andrew Sachs only heard everything when listening to it on iplayer - if he can use that surely he'd normally be able to pick up his voicemails?)

Bukkake = spill forth, the connotation being linked almost exclusively to ramen/soba (waterfalls?)in Japanese.

Most Japanese would probably blink at you all puzzled if you mentioned the word (and possibly imagine you are hungry).

If you want to go for shock value, try googling "Butter dog" :)

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
