Mod - Regarding use of the word "tranny" on this thread, it is being found offensive so I am asking that is not used here again.
However, just to explain, Joe Duffy has referred to a transistor radio in the past as a "tranny", which may or may not be appreciated by posters. I myself have used the word here to throw a jibe at the host's clumsy and unthinking use of language, and I think that is what most people here have been doing. It's been part of the satire here, but we will avoid it from here on. Hopefully Joe will play ball and not say it again either

Oh come on, I can’t recall anyone ever using it on this thread in anything but a mocking way to Mr. Duffy’s use of it when referring to a transistor radio. Similarly, I can’t recall hearing anyone saying “tranny” for years in any context - it’s not a word that’s used in my work or social circles.
Do you know what I find offensive? People clearly and deliberately going out of their way to take offence where none is intended, nor present. Can we ban that too?
Just so I’m clear on this now, if Mr. Duffy uses it can I quote him? Or is that an offence? I’m not being deliberately obtuse here, I’m asking a genuine question.0 -

As a Mod I realise it is not at all *intended* to be offensive when used as a Duffy quote here, but I also want it known that if a poster finds its repetition herein genuinely offensive I have explained the case against repeating it here. All people are most welcome on the thread, but maybe not e reunify is fully familiar with the history of Joe Duffy's utterances. As I said, I myself have posted that word here more than once as satire of Duffyism, although, of course, never use it in "real life". But having realised it may be insensitive, I will avoid it as I want all good posters to feel welcome.
Duffy is gaff prone, the thread reflects this satirically, so hopefully when we post something that might look a bit inappropriate in current society it is, per most posters, strictly in context. 0 -

Cat, I appreciate your position and will abide by the mod note.

General discussion:
We now have two "T words" .
Should they be T****R and T****y?
or
T1 and T2?
:D:D:D:D:D
And a K word.
K1T2. Not quite Star Wars, but we’re getting there. Actually, is the term “Star Wars” offensive to peace-loving and conflict averse celestial bodies made mostly of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores?
To paraphrase Sean O’Casey “De celestial bodies made mostly of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores, de celestial bodies made mostly of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores; wat is de celestial bodies made mostly of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores so to speak as they say.”0 -

I must have zoned out for a moment yesterday and missed the " dead sheep" bit from Duffy. Listening to the Brazilian wan screeching had me addled.
I don't even know what she was screeching about!
I frequently zone out of what's on de radio when I'm scanning de posts for "you can't say dats"
but that's a mod's life on a very active and slightly edgy thread. 0 -

I prefer The Power Station's cover of "Get it on (bang a gong)!" myself Ronan so to speak as they say.
POSSIBLY (but unlikely) on twodaze show:
De kock-on effect of COVID - a beauriful young bhoy from Vietnam and his potential adoptive parents.
Young peeple, old peeple, and those peeple wit cystic foybro-siz.
Brazilian shouty-lady clip from yesterday.
Common-sense and masking for a friend. Retailers and bus-drivers at dare wits end.
Won't be in attendance Lahv so to speak as they say for de next few days, but I will keep an eye on de thread and dat. Enjoy yerselves now, and don't be offending peeple - dja hear me?0 -
