hahahahahha, good old nolan, he is seen as a prick over here by some and a legend by others.i worked in UTV were Nolan use to work and apparently he is as gay as anything.....just thot i wud through that in there,

I laughed (guiltily) when i 1st read this, but it is pretty offensive......

when the BBC ran this story on the website it claim that the game "uses a term abusive to people with disabilities"

I wonder how the people with disabilities that dont involve involuntary spasms feel now that the term "spastic" - in its pejorative sense - now includes them?

the BBC story went on to be similarly vague allt he way through and didnt even mention the abusive term no doubt for fear of offending people. bless.

Personally, I prefer the term "spasmodic".

This is one of the reasons we put the effort in to go and listen to the show using the deeply complicated "Listen Again" function, our ears, eyes and critical faculties - not the most difficult piece of research ever.

The fact that the BBC ran the story but didn't give the detail (the actual point of the damned thing) is "political correctness gone mad". It provides no information but plenty of room for conjecture. Somewhere along the way, the BEEB has forgotten that reporting on something is different to doing that thing.
