Excellent. Well done the BBC for breaking the boundries of broadcasting and giving it that cutting edge it deserves. More swearing on TV and Radio please. Keep it up BBC. Oh, and to all those who complained....shove it in your pipe and smoke it.

Can't work out what the second word he said was with all those asterisks.

Those in glass houses, etc. I heard some very bad language in the background a while ago (think it was during the ashes) during the presentations on Sky.

Anyone who thinks children aren't going to learn filthy language regardless of whether it's on TV or not needs to get out more. I was brought up in the age before any swearing was allowed by TV or Radio and yet I still managed to acquire a whole vocabulary of vernacular, in more than one language.

I used to work in a warehouse long ago, doing night shifts. The small group of us used to make up games to pass the time, especially in the early hours when it was quiet and we were all a bit sleep-deprived. One game we started was a kind of obscene Quote Unquote. The object of the game was to put together a sequence of as many obscene and/or profane words or phrases as possible, without any repetition and no pauses. I think my personal records was 17 words in a row and the record was over 20. And nobody had heard of Gordon Ramsey at that point...

You have to go some to match the creativity of this man:

My personal record is twenty two, but that's not including racial slurs, with racial slurs it's nearer a hundred, but then I know a few coppers.

Are you allowed derivations ie wank and [LIFTED], plus words like slag and whore which are in the dictionary but not very pleasant.
