Its been really funny as radio 2 have taken the opportunity on everyshow to slag off radio 1 for doing this. I have the misfortune of having to listen to Ken Bruce, Jeremy Vine and Steve Wright and they have all commented today and played the "proper" version. This could either be a stupid * up by radio 1 or what I think that its reverse physcology to get people talking about/downloading Fairytale of New York to keep the X factor song off Christmas number one or maybe im being synical ??

ha ha they have censored c ock on my post!!! censorship is taking over the world!

Wow. I didn't see that one coming.

"breaking news" as well!

[S4B]

Foots, isn't Hollie cold without her scarf?

[MK Chris]

She has a fur coat.

Duh.

[S4B]

She's also old and poorly and in need of a scarf!

[MK Chris]

It's a cartoon.

[S4B]

**Looks shocked**

You mean she doesn't wear a scarf in real life and that Footy doesn't look like that??????

[foot-loose]

I onced toyed with the idea of finding a hill and taking a photo of me standing next to her and make a live action sig, but she hardly leaves the house these days - she would shout at me if i made her walk to a hill!

[S4B]

So where is her scarf!?? You go to all that trouble to create a beautiful sig and then have poor Hollie catching a cold!

Incidentaly is it her birthday this month?

[foot-loose]

January 4th - she will be 13.

[S4B]

Aww! Are you having a party?

[foot-loose]

I don't think she would make it. She sleeps most of the time now. The most excitement she gets is when people come into the house and she can be bothered going to say hello. Then she goes back to sleep.

I know you'll hate it...I'm trying to stop myself...but...I have to say...that's so cute, Footsy!

What irritates me is that we are being TOLD to sign this petition.

What if we don't agree with you?

No - you WERE being ASKED to sign the petition as I had no control over whether you did or did not choose to sign, unlike the point in question, which involved us having heavy handed censorship thrust upon us.

Anyway, it's all fairly irrelevant now isn't it!!

As much as i agree with reinstating the full version, these petitions don't seem to do much anyway. Especially with only 2 signatories.

Oh really?

I would sign it. But i can't be bothered.

I have the full version on cd, so it doesn't really affect me too much.

And thanks to everyone who decided to get off their @rses and do something about it, the rest of us can enjoy the full version now too!

[Ballbag]

I can enjoy the full version too, safe in the knowledge that I did bugger all.

Honestly, what a load of fuss over nothing.

Wow- you must be a motivational speaker or something!

Out of curiosity, did you get off your arse to do something about it, or did you just set up an online petition that no-one was going to give a crap about?

No, I'm just your average sexy beast with some common sense and knowledge thrown into the mix.

Yes, because the only reason they changed their minds was because of your petition wasn't it. The national outcry (made by people who DIDN'T sign your petition) had nothing to do with it.

I don't do petitions. I'm far happier letting people in power decide how my life should be lived. There's far less for me to think or worry about then and I can concentrate on the important things in life.

Thats an almost perfect definition of democracy.

I have no pretentions about how little difference the petition made - none at all!

What I have pointed out before is that it is the principle that mattered more than anything else, and that rather than complaining about it but doing nothing to try and change it, I am pleased that those people who decided to take positive action seem to have made a difference.

[pjordan2000]

Like footy said before, it was all a publicity stunt hence the breaking news just as the newsbeat was about to come on air. Oh and obviously the petition helped too.....

Yes I did thanks.

You're welcome.

It would have been funnier if there had been no reaction.
