In the noble tradition of comment recycling, here's one I made earlier about the 'Come Dine with Me - Wags Special':
Top moment - about 15 mins in; in the dining room of Chantelle Tagoe's mock-tudor mansion, she proudly shows off her new wallpaper - trompe l’oeil corrugated iron - and two matching portraits on her wall; “These two portraits are Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela….Martin Luther King?…I don’t know…erm…I know him, er…that is, I know of him…”
Oh dear - have I just breached EHRC guidelines again?
"If you were to say 'WAGs are stupid, thick, wear too much make up, spend too much money, don't have any taste' – not that of course I would – then 'WAGs' would be seen as offensive, by lumping them together.
Yes, so terribly terribly unfair and untrue isn't it?
For instance, it is a little known and overlooked fact that mrs Rooney is a highly respected Astophysicist, who's six part series on Quantum mechanics is due on our screens this Autumn. Produced by Victoria Beckham with Cheryl Cole doing a new version of Here Comes the Sun for the opening credits. Please allow us to call a spade a spade eh? you EHRC twats!
For a man, is it possible to NOT breach EHRC guidelines?
Ah, JuliaM, you've rumbled me! Not only am I female (despite the blogging persona)- I was once the outspoken radical, left-wing Women's Officer of my College. Ah, the follies of youth!
Does that make it better, or will Trevor Phillips hunt me down as a traitor to the cause?

I think the spokesperson/man/woman had their tongue planted firmly in their cheek when they made that comment. Quite funny when compared to the tripe they usually come out with.

Ok EHRC, if I can't say WAGS I'll just have to go back to "tasteless, thick as a dead cat bimbo", satisfied?
ReplyDelete"Are you or have you ever been, a plaudit of the EHRC?"
ReplyDeleteMany who confess with regret may liken it to an unforgettable phase of gorging on castor oil.
When I saw this I just knew you were going to mention it :)

WAGs are lovely, their lives are probably far more interesting than those of their HABs.

ReplyDeleteFor a man, is it possible to NOT breach EHRC guidelines? Unless you sit in a darkened room, by yourself?
"When I saw this I just knew you were going to mention it :)"
I had to read it twice to make sure I wasn't dreaming it!
"...their lives are probably far more interesting than those of their HABs."
That may well be true. They might even be better footballers!
