Edwina Currie was no eggspert.

Absolutely fine with Hoddle, Keys/Gray and Big Ron (even though it subjected us to more Andy Townsend) getting the gooner for what they said

I never did quite get the Rodney Marsh one. In isolation, the 'joke' wasn't funny and completely misguided but it was obviously a joke. Was he already on thin ice?

Wasn't it the day after the tsunami that wiped out over a quarter of a million people?

Timing...

Gary Glitter

Gerald Ratner struck gold.

I saw him do a public speaking engagement at a conference once about his riches to rags to riches story. He was a bit of a tool but his story was hilarious and very interesting. He could easily have taken to a comedy club, it was that funny. He is doing pretty well for himself, owns lots of Gyms and online Jewellery stores.

Yeah, it was preeeeeeeeeeeetty bad, wasn't it.

I remember watching it live and actually wincing.

They didn't do something morally wrong, they did something illegal (Nixon was very, very lucky not to go to jug)

I once got sacked for calling my boss a Slutty Whore...Does that count?

I once got suspended for texting a director telling him he was a c u next Tuesday and that I knew about his sexual assaults on female members of staff and his affairs. Thankfully I had a very good lawyer.

Did it used to be ok to inflict further suffering on the victims of child sexual abuse to make some boorish point about the relative merits of particular 'sportsmen' then?

I'll have to ask my gran.

Suffering ? Talk about a drama queen, A bit of upset maybe .
