A website similar to this one has an automatic censor. In a thread about Radio I mentioned Dick Barton Special Agent and it primly substituted **** Barton ...... If I'd mentioned Fanny By Gaslight I think it would have had a nervous breakdown.

I remember seeing an episode of The Man Show where they interviewed people with unfotunate names ... I remember Jack Hoff, and Richard "Dick" Hertz. A little wander: anyone know what they are going to call Guy Gibson's black lab in the coming remake of "The Dam Busters"?

We've had a thread about this before, Eric. They want to change historical fact for the sake of political correctness.

I think I remember; but all those years of smoking dope may have damaged my memory.

And I thought that revisionist history was a Stalinist thing.

Don't forget.....this is in a nation who's main aim in life is obtaining a pair of Wellingtons.

Pudding? I thought it was a delicacy made from leopard.

Actually - it occurs to me that in a couple of years time someone else at that council will complain about the new name because it's still sexist.

It seems the jobsworth who thought this up in Wales did so because of smutty remarks when people were ordering their favourite pud, I appears that this irk though such people were childish and showing themselves up, where do they get these people from, there is one thing for sure the whole of Britain knows just what a Dick Head this prat really is, and no doubt he's on a salary which resembles a telephone number

From 2001:
