1387.1We mean it maaaann.....ADISSW::SMYTHMon Jun 06 1994 16:0711
    The Paul McCartney tune was called "Mull of Kintyre". It was the best
    selling single of 1977 according to the BBC, but that was only because
    they refused to recognise (play) the Sex Pistols version of "God Save the 
    Queen" which actually outsold McCartney's dreck. 
    
    Now for extra points can anybody recall the lyrics of the Sex Pistols 
    version. If you could post them here, then we could decide if the Beeb 
    were being unduly censorious. This would prove conclusively that the BBC 
    are indeed the mouth-piece of the UK Establishment. 
    
    Joe ( in a s**t stirring mood ).

    What makes you say that Dennis? I can't say I'm very well acquainted
    with this rock stuff - though Sid and Nancy is a cult classic. Perhaps
    you could elucidate?

        I also have request that the sick base note be removed. It is an 
        insult to the families of the dead.

    re .4,
    
    I think you and I, Chris missed the import of .0's parting comment.

    I did miss it, I confess, but then I rarely spend much effort trying to
    make sense of Mr Holohan's notes. Now I understand I am hardly surprised. 
    If one believes that all of the RUC, MI5 and police personnel aboard
    the helicopter were involved in collusion with the UFF/UVF/UDA etc,
    and actively target innocent Catholics themselves, one can understand
    the grisly logic of applauding their death. And it isn't the first time
    Mr Holohan has made such a remark either.

 re. .12

  Dennis,

   I think you mistook a hand shake and a smile for
  someone whose soft.

    You know since there are people like me who don't get to use the 
    computer all that much, you shouldn't set notes hidden. So we don't
    know what the H*LL you are talking about.

    Some notes that exhibited a rather childish glee upon the deaths of so
    many members of the Northern Ireland security forces in a helicopter
    crash in Scotland were set hidden by the moderator.
