      Let's face it they were hardly the pinnicle of comic entertainment
      I remember the good old days of this site when people used to moan about serious contractor related issues like house prices and immigration. How times have changed!?

            Got one ta. And no this is not the pinnacle. Unfortunately this kind of extreme political correctness is getting more and more common and, IMHO, is setting very dangerous precedents. The Government has spent millions of pounds and spilt the blood of many men and women 'introducing' democracy to Iraq but it seems that they are quite happy for it to be irradicated in their own country. How long will it be before we cannot celebrate Xmas or St George's day or Armastice Day because it may offend 'minorities'? How long before Christians in the UK become heretics? How long before we can be locked up for expressing an opinion that is not 'politically correct'? This is just another example of the tightening of the controls that Bliar and Co have put in place to ensure compliance to their distorted ideals.

              John I think we are already there. The tree huggers and the God hating brigade have teamed up so ensure were possible Christmas will be replaced with Winterville, Ramadan etc, O little town of Bethlehem will be replaced with Jingle Bells etc etc. Whats thats? - Religious Hatred going through Parliament - ohh dear we are doomed, doomed. Lets just lay down get the the atheists and jihadists to walk all over this country and its traditions.

                Yet another ignorant Chicoism. Christianity is a relatively recent (post Roman) introduction to these islands. Here's the original:

                  At times like this we need an authoritative, independent, internationally renowned source of information - what's this suite101.com???? Can I get a cheap hotel room in Rome this weekend from that site? What happened to Encarta, the Encyclopaedia Britannica Etc?

                    Well Chico who could honestly say that Jingle Bells is not the better tune ?

                    Be That as it May, the Devil has all the best tunes.

                    Its high time for a new religion in the UK , Im currently working on a new cult, which is a heady mix of Hinduism and Satanism and unabashed decadence, great partys !

                    I shall call it the Satindu cult, and folks its ony 3,478 pounds , cash only, for your introductory weekend workshop.

                    Jingle Bells ...Jingle Bells ...
