Random Irritations

Every time I hear the "edited" version of "Fairy tale of New York" by Kirsty MacColl and The Pogues. Just winds me up about every bit of political correctness in the world.

Nowt wrong with faggots. Served up with mash, peas and onion gravy - luvly jubbly

When four of us shared a flat in London many moons ago one of our regular dinners was Brains faggots from the corner shop.

I'd never heard of him until Monday.......wish I'd never heard of him...
Wouldn't mind quite so much if he was Argentinian but he's bloody Turkish......
Hope he crawls back under his rock soon coz he's more than irritating me......

He was everywhere a couple years back. If your kid was older youd definitely have heard of him . ?

I heard about him a few years ago, I’m amazed that his sad shtick has found enough gullible people to still be a thing.

I had to google him - never heard of him. I sometimes wonder what planet I frequent!

PS Thought it was some kind of salted fish dish

Just returned via Heathrow…. Folks in army camouflage currently undergoing training with the immigration folks. Anyone walking into U.K. today May think that we are at war with so many army folks stamping passports.

May get worse tomorrow when the BCF are actually on strike

I never noticed that in the lyrics before, that's pretty bad to be fair. ? Have they changed it to something else on the radio or just left an awkward blank in its place?

I renewed mine this week ready for the 1st JAN. My one with the RAC was going from £188 to £245 so I moved to Tesco and settled for £224 but did lower my excess and added personal injury cover

It was perfectly acceptable when the song was written. Springsteen sings about killing the yellow man in Born in the USA.

Do you want to change everything?

So lets erase everything from the history books and just pretend it didn't happen
