The lawyers of Rolf threatened the press under the Leveson Report in order they did not print the story.Some of us knew months ago,and of a person is actually arrested why is it not in the public interest?This report could now be used on a number of things and celebrities could get up to things we may never know.As it happens I hope Rolf is innocent,he has been a good entertainer over the years.I put this in local issues because Rolf lives in Bray.

Well this could be another high profile personality on the way to serve time. Innocent until proven guilty but its not looking good for him.
Agree they usually make charges these days unless they are confidant of getting a conviction, To many smart briefs about now .Hope he didn't do anything wrong though . :(
sorry to say it William, but rarely there is "smoke without fire" ... looks bad to me, though I'm not on the spot ...
There was something eerie to him in about 1980 when I did a couple of shows with him - but could never place my finger on what that might have been. Easy to say I know, but it was like that, believe me ...
1980? You must have been a child prodigy David.

You could have had a very lucky escape. ;)
old enough to cope for myself, no worry - you know my preference for beautiful girls; already ingrained in 1980 :D
Thats what a few celebrities have been saying recently ;) :D

As long as 'bad' language isn't directed at someone with malicious intent, nothing wrong with a bit of blue language. I do like a bit o' blue.
yep, but on a football forum you can't often tell if it's malicious or not because you can't physically hear that sound of voice; so I always erred on the side of caution. Also, if someone does, the next will do it a bit more, and so on ...
What I don't understand is how it is wrong to use a swear word but okay if you block out a couple of letters. I'm not having a go at anyone. It's a genuine problem I have with society. A swear word is bad, just like ANY word, ONLY when it is used with malicious intent. For example, you can use non-swear words to really hurt someone and I think those should be frowned upon and NOT words that were seen to be vulgar by the invading French. It's so arbitrary. I'm assuming everyone is aware that the words that are currently seen as inappropriate are only thought of that way because they were Anglo-Saxon words and the 'polite society' were French and thought that the 'uncivilized' inhabitants of Britain were horrible and vulgar. They attempted to eradicate all Anglo-Saxon words. They would have succeeded too had that been a good and workable plan. Our Anglo-Saxon words are far too good at what they do to ever be replaced.

So, it annoys me when these words, which are perfectly good words, are frowned upon because of some poxy invaders who didn't like the local language. I am in favor of keeping the forum a friendly place and one in which is inclusive of people of all ages, but I don't see why putting the odd asterix here and there is somehow more friendly than not doing that. We all know what word people mean, and that doesn't upset people, what's so bad with actually seeing it?? If we have people using 'bad language' in a way that is intended to offend, then that should be stamped out.

A related note, just because people are offended about some things, doesn't mean that should matter. Being offended doesn't make you right.

Also, apparently Operation Yewtree are cracking down on old man celebrities with beards. Watch out, Bill Oddie.

I must say I entirely agree with that statement about language,pity we would be in the minority,a fellow mod moderated what was a mild word of mine recently.

Yes Mike, but don't think your special! :D As long as we have rules & regs, they need to be upheld. I don't mind a bit of swearing, but it's one of those situations where you can't really have a 'Halfway House' because someone is bound to push the envelope.

Just look at HNA? Swearing on there is the norm and a lot of it in my eyes is just for the sake of it.

I worked in a male dominated world all my working life. I got so used to hearing, and using, bad language that it became commonplace. But when I got home, it was like a switch in my head turned the working environment off totally and, except for a very few slip ups, I never used the same language at home.

As for RR, I like it being an expletive free zone. We're all adults and are quite capable of making our points without resorting to gutter language.

Our strict rules about bad language probably makes us a little bit unique and, to some, may seem a little bit stuffy. But there are plenty of other sites for those people to go and have a good swear if thats what floats their boat.
