...I remember when I first saw the falling thro' the bar episode I thought it was classic and looking at it now it still makes me laugh. Classic. Some of the wrting in those old shows is brilliant. Dads Army is also ageless but it comes from my era.

they edit Only Fools all the time mate, they didnt show you the bit where del and rodney when they are out on the pull end up in that gay bar by mistake and Del says "we dance with our backs to the wall" after the barman starts flirting with him stuff like that made the show.

Stuff like that should never be removed. Its a light hearted remark, nothing more. I don't think 99% of gay people would find that offensive. We shouldn't pander to the minority.

He says "I don't think 99% of gay people" don't try to be smart and create a pointless argument

I agree completely mate its why people feel like they tred on egg shells even when they have no intention of being hateful in anyway its purely light hearted humour nothing malicious intended. Its like I was saying in the other thread their seems to be a lack of political choice now in the parties as if you dont subscribe to the "left PC" stance, your seen as being a bigot, racist, homophobe etc. thats why your seeing Cameron so eager to push through gay marriage to try appease the popular opinion whereas those Tories that voted against it had their names in the paper which imo is purely to make them feel "ashamed" of having their different opinion to this, its complete social engineering and its something that Hitler and Stalin used too great effect in their regimes which you can make of that what you wish.

the thing with Liberalism mate is that it claims equal rights/free speech... on liberals terms, look at the UKIP child fostering scandal and many other instances to see if you dont have the same views as the popular consensus your labelled, same as Diane Abbott the Black Labour party member, made two racist tweets on twitter regarding whites yet had nothing done, now had that been a white party member making tweets regarding Blacks, Asians or Muslims, he would be serving your Big Mac with Fries mate as the media would of hounded him out. thats my little rant haha and Im pro Gay marriage myself, but I see things from both sides of the argument.

But back on topic I agree on the watch mate I think when they got the money that would of been the fitting ending I think it lost something towards the end sadly but before then it could not be beaten.
