An apology

[shanker]

First of all, thank you to the moderator who amended the title of my post and removed a word which seems to have offended some people.
In my defence, I'd say that I haven't been in the UK for nearly 2 years and thought that the word I used was more or less acceptable these days. It certainly doesn't seem to cause offence in a certain Scottish comedy series I recently enjoyed.
Anyway, I do apologise for any offence caused. It was not my intention.
Regards
S

TBH Shanker, I had a wee look at it but left it as it was an iffy one. I laughed when the subsequent posts still had the original word after the post had been altered.

I don't get the bit about ''ego trips'', Steve. I agree about ''Still Game''. The funniest thing I've ever seen on the telly. I'm a Glaswegian by birth and loved it. I just kept thinking that if only my Dad had been alive to see it. He would have laughed his b******* off!

Shanker, the guys who wrote it Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill have had a falling out due to a clash of ego's. Thats why they haven't made another series.

Thanks for that, Andy. What a pity! I had read that Kiernan used to get stroppy after a few drinks but Hemphill seems OK. Anyway, it's a shame that the public (i.e us) are being deprived of more of their magic because of childish squabbling.

My dad used to play poker with Kiernan and said that he was easy to dislike and near impossible to be friends with.

Pity because it was a hit programme , my kids love it and have everyone on DVD same goes for Chewing the Fat , happy days.

Never thought much of it to be honest, I used to watch it in the hope things would get funnier and funnier but it didn't for me, I thought there were plenty of funny lines along with stolen re-arranged scenes, but spread out amid a see of the slow, the bland or the ordinary.

Not really a great comedy classic by any means, but whatever floats yer boat I suppose.
