    Chappers has his own style of broadcasting and there’s a place out there for him

    Beachy Head? Mogadishu? Atacama Desert?

    where ar*se-crawling is the norm

    Interesting new form of bowdlerisation there.

    **** knows if it’ll catch on.

    There are, as far as innocent little me is aware, just four words that are filtered by TRF’s expletive engine:

    the familiar euphemisms for rectum, congress, female pudendum and faecal matter

    Matt Chapman isn’t included for some strange reason, nor is ******…

    Chapman derides dubious results, marks him out as a friend of punters. He’s ok in my book.

    He’s also an obnoxious baffoon and Big Mac’s heir.

    Obnoxious is too strong, irritating and infantile would be nearer the mark. Big Mac was obnoxious and a buffoon, I agree.

    Doesn’t this all boil down to what most peoples Mothers told them – Manners Cost Nothing?

    I was really applauding Drone for the previously-unknown practise of dropping an asterisk into an expletive without having it replace any of the offending letters, vis:

    ar*se

    This has to catch on.

    Not an unknown practise, Grasshopper late of this parish was my teacher as most of his posts required a liberal sprinkling of asterisks, and still do over at the other place he frequents these days

    I see your reference to fornication has been wholly asterisked out, **** knows why :)

    No problems and thank you.

    Just that some members on "TRF" find it offensive.

    The filter must be American, because over there the word does not enjoy the meaning that it does in the UK. In the 70’s show Mork and Mindy the next door neighbour was Arnold (Ham Shanker) It caused quite a stir and numerous complaints from angry parents when it aired on ITV.

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    I must apologise – Obviously to you "Right On" characters Matt Chapman = ******.

    I don’t get it, because I think MC is a good racing personality and deserves the same respect all other human beings deserve.

    Silly me.

    Indeed, silly you, as you’re feigning offence and mortification by exaggerating a few irreverent, knockabout comments in response to a patently leading question.

    I would argue with your point that ‘all human beings deserve respect’ as obviously many of them don’t. Those that do enjoy respect from others tend to have

    earned

    it rather than ‘deserving’ it.

    Relax, nobody here

    Matt prefers being called the T word rather than the W.

    Quote Matt Chapman

    I have always been of the opinion, though, there is no point praising someone if you never criticize them. If someone ever says to me they have enjoyed a feature or show it means more if it comes from someone who had said I was a

    Sadly, I do remember Mork, Mindy and Mr W :)

    Fanny is another word all but innocuous stateside. One of the first all-girl rock combos went by that name

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_%28band%29

    and they couldn’t understand (pseudo-innocently perhaps) the sniggering from we British juveniles back then or from we ageing juveniles now :)

    A good band actually, and largely forgotten

    Matt Chapman.

    Indeed, hate is a word best used sparingly (cf. genius) and reserved for the likes of Bashar Al Assad

    Matt Chapman is just intensely irritating

    Though as Confucius didn’t say ‘he who irritates one soothes another’
