    If you were more concerned with that, then what is going on around us. Well then you don't have much to worry about. I learned my bad language in the schoolyard back in the 80's (like everyone else) and my bad language vocabulary was well developed by 1990. Sure kids watch films these days with bad language. Films back in the 80's were branded as 18 are now at a PG standard. Pirate radio is there for 2 things... Too push the boundaries in broadcasting!.... Promote the underground music and arts scene! I listen to a lot of the local band scene and lyrically they have fury in what these bands are saying. Their backs are to the wall with this recession and a few ****s in their lyrics is grand. There is more important things to be complaining about.

    Do ya want to get to a stage where a radio edit has to be got for 1 of the greatest singles of all time?.... Money by Pink Floyd, which in the 2nd verse. "Money........ It's a hit........Don't give me that do goody good b***s**t!" Music in its purest form, has to have expression in it.

    In general, Ireland is recognised by many visitors as, unfortunately, having one of the most lax restraints on the use of expletives on air. It is sad, really, that educated people feel the need to "express themselves" thus.

    Ya should rephrase that. Ireland is regarded by many visitors as a rip off nation. Only 1% of tourists return to this country for a 2nd time.... So i honestly dont think that they are worried about the "lack" of expletives on Irish airwaves.

    No more rip-off than, say, Italy.

    OK Jimmy - many visitors to whom I (and many others) have spoken. As I said, if this is the way educated people need to "express themselves" then God help us all.

    They are really showing WLR for what they really are, old, tired and repetitive.

    OT I think have filled a nice little niche in the market that was missing for a while. Good tunes being played now by Jimmy Java playing alot of local bands.

    Very emotional tribute paid to Mark Keating (butterfly band amongst others) tonight, all the music for the next hour is dedicated to him.

    From 6pm next Friday they will be on 105.1FM.

    They have Pink Floyd hour on now to mark the 40th anniversary of the release of Dark Side of the Moon which came to the world on 24th March 1973.
