CV and mad panic behaviour

[Baggers]

Unfortunately Bwuce has been making a lot of uncomfortable comments lately. I suspect it's probably health related or perhaps just showing his age, just silly things, not just or specifically our games but any game.

But crap, if you sit next to BT long enough listening to that crap, you are bound to dragged down to that level!

Unfortunately, and I hate to say this because the bloke is a deadset self-licking popsicle, but lately the best "football" caller seems to be ................. gulp .......................... Brayshaw! The rest of them cannot even get the player names right, and they have no crowd noise to blame!

Well I'm previously on record as saying I like J Brayshaw as a commentator... bit like Rex in that he gets creative with his expressions and names and I like that. I still love Bruce's passion for the game and that helps to forgive a few sins... STFW if he reckons Stringer's got a clacker like a rogue elephant, woops... that could get me in trouble. I also like Derm (insightful and honest), Daisy Pearce, Dwayne, Leigh Matthews and Gerard Whateley (Gerard as a game day commentator but not as a radio / TV celebrity - dryer than a dead dingoes....) And we miss D Cometti.

Say it EB, "PC gone mad", go on, you'll feel better. ;D

GTC...Political Correctness has gone mad, there are people doing it tough everywhere including Bruce McAveney and Jake Stringers guts has made the news for different reasons other than what Bruce was alluding to ie a professional athlete has come back to play unprepared. I've had a gutful of PC.....can I say that? or do I need a disclaimer...

Mm, depends on the size of your guts, when you say you've had a gutful! ?

Funny thing is that I do not know one person who DOESN'T think PC has gone too far and is even just plain silly at times. If it went any further comedy would be outlawed!

@ Baggers

A pity George Carlin isn't still with us to cast his acerbic eye on the situation. ?

I don't think PC has gone too far. More often than not, it's political and cultural conservatives, and folks on the right of the political spectrum, who seem to have an issue with political correctness. As for comedians, you can be clever about stereotyping like Jerry Seinfeld, or you can be a total sh1thead, like the loathsome Andrew Dice Clay.

I read an article the other week about people wanting the popular pre-school cartoon Paw Patrol taken off of air because they paint police as good guys.

Yes, well, when I refer to political correctness, I mean properly researched, properly debated, scholarly ideas that have merit and substance, not gossamer nonsense from twitter.

Well I and most of my friends are definitely not far right conservatives, politically or culturally - not by a long shot. In fact, speaking for myself I'm miles off conservatism... though I am very conservative when working with power tools and electricity! So, perhaps a sweeping generalisation there, Pauly.

But on another angle, Pauly, do I sniff a prejudice against our conservative brothers and sisters?

I'd never heard of Andrew Dice Clay so just watched a bit of his stuff on YouTube. Well, not my cup of tea... just a little too base without being funny or clever for my liking (but very appealing to 'the shadow'... Jordan P would have a ball with this cat). Can I suggest you don't watch any Jim Jeffries or Jimmy Carr! I found Seinfeld clever but boring, but don't look down my nose at those who love him and his brand of humour.

I thought we were disussing political correctness gone mad?

An important distinction that you may have to explain in more detail... most of what we've been referring to here as excessive PC doesn't fall into the specialist categories you're pointing out.
