My opinions on matters of the day that, generally, have pissed me off.
Being described as a 'Surly Curmudgeon', by those who meet me on a good day, I have a poor regard for the human species.
This is my place for my free speech- not bloody yours. Crap under your own rock.

Is Peter Jackson going to be non-PC?
After the fuss about pipe-smoking Hobbits, what's going to happen in the remake of The Dam Buster's?
Yes- of course I'm refering to Wing Commander Gibson's dog, Nigger!
I'm betting he will stay true to the story.
Time will tell...

Most of us over 60 years have read and enjoyed Agatha Christie's mystery "Ten Little Niggers", now renamed. We had a cat named Nigger, abbreviated to "Nig". Actually I still refer to Black Americans as Negroes with no offence meant or taken. The US Southern States pronunciation of the word negro comes out as "nigger" so put that into context. The PC brigade can get stuffed!
Agreed, Murray. What the hell's the point of making a "historical" movie and then changing history to suit the sensibilities of the present day? Maybe we should have gladiator movies with the combatants undergoing counselling after shouting at one another....

I bet they're not shown puffing away on cigarettes, though.
