My humble apologies for misspelling granddaughter as grandaughter in my original title for this piece. Interestingly this mistake has resulted in a large number of hits on this piece as a google.co.uk search for "Andrew Sachs grandaughter" puts this blog at position 2. Maybe I have stumbled on a trick to get up the Google rankings, using plausible misspellings!
Update:
It appears that Google takes account of misspellings and I am at position 2 for Google searches for "Andrew Sachs granddaughter" as well. This is interesting and also means that as at 18:25 tonight (28 October) I have over 100 people "on" this blog, virtually all looking at this page. I am conflicted; whilst I appreciate the traffic, this is a serious political blog not a scandal sheet. New visitors, maybe you could assuage my feelings of guilt by reading a couple of my political articles whilst you are here...
my only comment on this is we all make mistakes!
ReplyDeleteAnd nothing more needs to be said as it was pretty predictable that this sweet hurt young lady would sell her story to the sun.....
we have wars and people dying everywhere and once again the brits get on there high horse and think they that have the god given right to decide the fate of these men... get a life people and step back and try to remember when you said something you wish you hadnt? bet you all can! :)
Can someone who makes a living by bending naked over a table and accepting a strap-on insertion for photographic purposes really be "offended" by wags who make jokes about her career choice?
ReplyDeleteIt isn't an easy question to answer, is it? Prostitutes are entitled to buy bananas in Tescos, without enduring indecent suggestions about what they might do with them. Why should her grandfather be humiliated?
But at the end of the day, I guess the real issue is "was it funny?" and Brand and Ross fell down because they went beyond the point where people laughed, and into the area where people wanted to be somewhere else - embarrassed.
Look Okay Im Georgina's Cousin I dont think she was wrong to do what she did nither was brand i think georgie has leared her lesson and wont be doing this ever again I think we should all just forget it the more we write stupid Things like this then its just gonna get blown up even bigger
ReplyDelete"I am not a sheep, I have my own mind." ... yet you jump on the "im offended" bandwagon fast enough. In retrospect this whole fiasco was blown totally out of context.
ReplyDeleteSure the joke wasn't funny. But it wasn't exactly the most outrageous thing I've ever heard either. I wasn't offended because I don't give a toss about anyone involved.
I wouldn't say I was offended but I did think that "Regardless of how Georgina Baillie chooses to make her living, what Brand and Ross said was highly reprehensible and beyond decent limits.". Andrew Sachs not, Georgina Baillie or me was the victim.
