He genuinely creeps me out-I can remember him being established on the scene and saying horrendous things about women that nobody called him out on.
'I'd never seen a vagina until I got to LA' denouncing Irish women's grooming habits-so the irish beauty mags were like 'well, listen to Colin-here's how to wax your vagina'... And I was just sitting there thinking 'who the **** gives a damn what women are doing to their nether regions-it's their nether regions'. (These same harpies talking about 'listen to this man about your grooming' would also be the 'abortion s for all' types too-body autonomy until a this guy says otherwise).
Then he proceeded to knock up a succession of women on his crap movies, then leave em.
There were other times he was bragging about all the money he was making-how 'overpaid' he was. It was like...what the hell? Get lost you prat.

I still won't watch a movie he's in-he's stuck doing crap remakes too, that aren't a patch on the originals. (Even the Beguiled was made stupid-watch the original, it's a great Eastwood movie.)

that was even painful for me to read that many words about him.

True Detective, was on a massive high after McConaghey. found out that thing was coming in for the next one and that was that out the window..

Francis Brennan the hotel fixer. Saw him on the telly around 1.30 today taking a crowd on tour around Viet nam. They must have been paid to go with him. No way could I stick his nattering. He was just on again now in a repeat of At Your Service. Quick find the remote.

Have to agree, he's a lad aching for a heavy industrial steel-toe delivered into the small of the back with considerable force followed with "Now **** off" or a similar suggestion.

I know someone who went to stay in their hotel in Kerry. There was clerical cock up regarding the guests being billed for use of facilities when it was quite clear that it was included in the price. After some debate Francis contacted the guests at home after their stay. His manner on the phone was something to behold. Rude insulting and adamant that the staff were right in their charging for extras. Nothing like his tv persona.

Had to look her up. Afua Hirsch to give her full name. The following from her Wiki page:

In August 2017, Hirsch called for Nelson's Column to be destroyed, claiming it is a symbol of white supremacism.[9] Her comments caused substantial controversy.[10] The former director of the Victorian and Albert Museum, Sir Roy Strong, later called the comments "ridiculous", saying: "Well, listen, dear, that was about 1800. Once you start rewriting history on that scale, there won't be a statue or a historic house standing....The past is the past. You can't rewrite history."[11]

He finished up a serious interview yesterday with the lines, "coming next, the story of a pigeon who won a medal during WW2".

He can handle both types of interviews very very well. I like him.

Might go against the grain here, but Katie Taylor.

I love to see Irish sportspeople do well, and I am delighted Katie won tonight, but Jez, everytime she comes on the radio or TV I can't get turned over quick enough.

That voice! Monotone and so dull.

Gonna have to add this to the list-but people who go mental at Fairytale of New York because of the word '******'. They almost demand people sing the Ronan Keating version, to avoid using the word.

It's not used in the context of a homophobic slur-not aimed at a gay person. And whether one likes it or not, that kind of language is used everyday, on the streets.

A rather attractive young woman-but yeah, her voice. It's her only weakness, tbh. I don't dislike her, but I can understand others not liking her.

I do wonder if that's one of the things (along with Kirsty MacColl's tragic death) that contributes to the song being so much more popular now than it was 30 years ago - it provides an opportunity for edgelords everywhere to scream a taboo word at the top of their lungs without being called out on it.

It wasn't written or performed with homophobic intent, but is it really up to me, a straight person, to say that it's totally acceptable to play a word commonly used by gay-bashers and homophobic bullies on the radio several times a day, just because it doesn't personally offend me?

I wouldn't shed any tears if it was bleeped out or replaced with some other word (blaggard would fit in quite well), just as I don't throw a tantrum when I hear the radio edit of 'Creep' or 'Don't marry her, have me'. It wouldn't be a huge sacrifice to make to avoid upsetting people who have that word hurled at them by those who hate them just for existing.

sorry, disagree with your pov.

The song should be left as is.

It wasn't intended to offend. If a listener takes offence at it, then thats their problem. We can't just go around sanitizing everything that some people don't like.

Same-and Ronan Keating edited the song to be 'politically correct' and committed one of the worst crimes against music this world has ever seen.

It's sort of the same thing that happens with 'Summer Loving' from Grease, the amount of people who say 'Tell me more, Tell me more, did she put up a fight' is about date rape rather than a girl playing hard to get irritates the hell out of me. As does those who want to ban 'Baby it's cold outside' for similar reasons.
It's just ridiculous.

I thought TD1 was just about the best thing I had seen in years, I love dark, American gothic fare even if the end wasn't the best ever. The acting was superb.

Watched one episode of TD2, awful dirge.

I hold out hope that season 3 will be better.

I felt even sadder for Taylor Kitsch-poor guy could not put a foot right in that time, everything he did, from John Carter to Battleship was a travesty.

Radio edits of songs containing profanity are common. It seems odd that people take issue with censoring this one particular song, while ignoring all the others.

Because editing an expletive ridden Eminem track would always have been done - whereas FoNY is being edited for political correctness.

It's only the last couple of years it's not been played in full.

Knopfler was changing the lyrics of 'Money For Nothing' for live performance since the year it was released.

Maybe this is one of those cases where political correctness is a good thing. Some people find the word very hurtful because their experience of it involves having it spat at them by bigots. Maybe it's good that their feelings are belatedly being recognised. Maybe it wouldn't actually harm anyone if the word (a word which turns into asterisks when you type it here) was no longer included in that song.

I know people who have not only had the word spat at them but were beaten up at the same time.

However, they know the difference between the use of a word in a bigoted context and a harmless song lyric.

Basically the gist is that once again those who think someone will be offended wants to change something when the actual group couldn't give two f***s.
