Sir Beep Beep Murray

[NATURAL ANKLING]

Hi,
Is it just me, I was watching the final on BBC and when murray started falling apart he looked straight at a camera and said !$&* .
It appears that this was not the first match in the Aussy open that he and his partner had used such language, even directed at an opponent.

I didn't see any apology by The BBC at the time, suposidly the BBC has since.
Just happens to be first online link I found, so no need to criticise the paper at all it is pretty factual.
I hope this type of person does not every get Knighthood, he needs to grow up.

So what?
A non story if ever there was one - the Daily Mail will miss no opportunity to slag off the BBC.

We applaud psychopaths for their sporting "ability", or business "ability", and simultaneously blast them for their lack of empathy.

I could have picked another paper like I said.
At least they are not using, to my knowledge "Role Model" call me old fashioned if you like.

He said a naughty word! Let's disregard any other aspect of his opinions or in fact any other aspects of his very being. This is a truly mind-boggling cultural phenomenon in my opinion.



BTW, is there an official list of such utterances that is being kept up to date and can be referred to in such circumstances?

[blackbike]

Why should a few swear words disqualify someone from a knighthood?

Paul McCartney has a string of drug convictions and Mick Jagger was given a conditional discharge for a drugs offence.

Both are now knights of the realm, and so the queen apparently thinks they are OK chaps.

There must be other similar examples.

And Sir Alf Ramsey - http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/obit ... 90806.html

Scottish journalist: Welcome to Scotland, Sir Alf.

Ramsey: You must be [rude word removed] joking.

Yeah, you're old-fashioned. I seem to remember a couple of weeks after winning the TdF Bradley Wiggins swore at a press conference. Didn't seem to affect him getting knighted around the same time. Anyway the Queen has been around Prince Philip for the last sixty years - you think he doesn't swear!?

It was the Aussie Open...surely he was just respecting the local culture?

[NATURAL ANKLING]

Hi,
Yes I see the point about other queens honoured people.
But......Murray blasted off because he was loosing, Ok the *&$! word was because the camera followed him back to his seat when he lost a vital point.
Maybe I am expecting too much, Oh well....

I can't say I really follow this bonk-bonk stuff all that avidly, but even I have noticed the striking resemblance:
