HERE HERE!
I was discussing those books by Dave Pelzer (A Child Called It etc.) on another forum, and I said the last one was crappity and people actually started having a go at me, just because they were written by someone who was abused by his mother. Apparently me not liking it means I'm ungrateful for my privileged life. I don't understand some people!

Ahh the joys of PC Its interesting to note the stances taken by people here, I can only assume that those of us who are not overly bothered by accents etc etc are a wee bit older than those that are. IMO Dear Dear Dear No is actually quite amusing, but there again I have not been brainwashed by what is basicly and american idea forced upon us by some bleeding heart liberal politicians in this country. I am not a racist, I have many good friends of different creeds and colours and we all get along fine and most of them laugh at the absurdity of PC. My final word on this is Think for yourselves, and don't allow yourselves to be told what to do, how to think and speak by a system that should be running our country not our lives We all know what is right in our hearts so follow yours . I don't mind the accents as such it's the style of the songs I don't enjoy, and I do like ali baba's camel. PC freaks however would be put off the bonzo's by these songs however, which is a shame because but they were never meant to be offenceive I'm sure and need to be taken in the context of the time they were written. They're like "Boom Titty Boom", a bit cringe worthy to listen to now, but at the time people thought it was hilairious.

Why should a book be thought to be better because of what happened to the author, if a book is bad, it's bad, it doesn't matter how the author grew up.

Just a thought about Hunting Tigers has it occured to anyone that the song may be a pop at the good old Brits and our so called glorious empire Forget the accents and all that, it seems to me the whole song is sneering at the "great white hunters" and has a heafty swipe at the whole attitude of the victorian empire. I dunno, just a thought, what you reckon

I wholeheartedly disagree, the song is about those selfish chappies Tigers, they bite, they scratch they make an awful fuss!
If thats not enough they dont care in which part of you they stick their fretwork set, further more Tigers dont go out on rainy nights they've no need to whet theri appetite!
Sod the fur trade embargo they need hunting just because they are so naughty!
