This is a link post Brand and Ross suspended by the BBC!!!!!111!!11!!1!
...whilst a vocal portion of the population ponders the most suitable means of execution for the pair, the less reactionary remainder struggles to give a flaming pigeon shit about any of it.

This is a normal post Talk about a minor fuck up blown out of all proportion
Channel Four News observed last night, the government had no comment about the fucking escalation of the civil war in the Congo yesterday, yet they were all bending over backwards to take the moral highground and comment on this

And haven't any of these people ever seen stuff like Never Mind the Buzzcocks?
There's worse insults thrown around on that every week.

It's a huge waste of time. These toffs go out of their way to read the transcripts of the show, without ever listening to the show, just so they can go ahead an complain. I heard it as it went out and it was hilarious. Fuck the lot of em.

BBC also going on about the granddaughters "aspiring modeling career" rather than "in a shitty group called the satanic sluts"

This is a normal post Unfortunately
sending obscene messages over the public telephone system is illegal in the UK. I think "he f$cked your grand daughter" kinda counts as offensive especially if directed at a 78 year old you don't know personally.

I predict a Faulty Towers re-run this Friday at 10:35pm :-)

Uncalled for maybe but I'm not sure leaving mean messages qualifies as illegal

This is a normal post section 43(1) of the Telecommunications Act 1984
depends whether or not "He F$cked your grand daughter" is deemed "Grossly offensive", and/or

"caus(ed) annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another....... a message that he knows to be false"

I guess it rests on whether Brand had indeed f&cked Mr Sachs' grand daughter and either way whether or not this caused annoyance inconvenience or needless anxiety to Mr Sachs, which it seems it did.

I laughed out loud when I read this story the other day. The Guardian waited until the last paragraph to say that the Granddaughter in question had been unavailable for comment as she was performing with a troupe called The Satanic Sluts. Excellent comic timing.

cause Manuel was such an ethical portrayal of a Spanish man.

Also, the majority of the sane population never kicked up a fuss that license fees were being spent on Celebrity Dancing on Jesus and associated bow locks.

Grrr!

This is a normal post I honestly thought it was ruddy fantastic.
Funny, cathartic (as someone who hates Big Brother), clever...but isn't smug and therefore doesn't want to rise above being a damned good zombie yarn.
Also really like the colour grading. It is indeed very dark...but makes the whole thing seem dream-like.

This is a normal post Catalan actually
"he was from Barcelona" The joke was that he couldn't understand anything because Basil kept talking Spanish to him. Catalan is about as much like Spanish as Welsh is like English.

Now that's proper comedy, not a couple of school kids giggling in a phone box and swearing at a teacher.

 (Jimbotfu Bummed in the gob again, Wed 29 Oct 2008, 12:39, Reply)
This is a normal post Not so fast!
I studied French, Spanish and Catalan at university. Catalan is way more similar to Spanish than Welsh is to English. I found I could understand the written form before undertaking any study (having previous good Spanish and French). And pretty much all Catalans speak fluent Spanish.. they had to by law up until Franco went in the late 70s. Nowadays you might find the odd octogenerarian who claims not to understand Spanish, but they pretty much always do. They live in a country called Spain.. And Manuel is a very traditional Spanish name.

..to be a little pedantic..

and therefore would probabaly understand Spanish.
 (Jimbotfu Bummed in the gob again, Wed 29 Oct 2008, 14:38, Reply)
This is a normal post Well Barcelona is in Catalonia (part of Spain)
..so he'd almost certainly speak Catalan fluently too - if he'd been brought up there. But Spanish would not be at all a problem, which was my point. And I think I remember his dialogue in the program to be either English or Spanish - no Catalan.

Catalan is a beautiful language with a rich literary history however. Don't mean to do it down - it deserves to survive.

Right, must get up and do something..

It's silly, but not that bad, really.

Brand does sound a bit manic though. Surely his producer should have intervened, and said 'no, really, that's enough.'?

This is a normal post I thought he was clean now?
I can see how Andrew Sachs felt he had the right to complain, and they have already publicly apologised. I feel sorry for the staff on Ross' other shows, now in limbo as he's been suspended.

Is suspension appropriate? I'm not sure. The likelihood of either of them being sacked is minimal, so it seems like a pointless punishment.
