Twenty-five years after hitting the airwaves, the Dire Straits hit "Money For Nothing" has been banned from Canadian radio.

Oh the joys of PC.

This will also affect the Pogues Fairytale of New York.  PC gone mad.

When I win a sufficiently large sum of money on the Lottery I'm gonna buy my own island, and I'm going to ban:

Political correctness
Conservative clothing
Party politics
non-smoking indoors (If non-smokers want fresh air then they can bloody well go outside where there's an abundance of it)
non-drinking
Corporate control
Copyright law

Did I miss anything?

  I think we've managed to build up a picture of you Steve.     

[Simon]

I'd go with all of that, except the smoking.   

[chorleydave]

I think you and I will get on just fine, Steve. 

[D-Dan]

I'd go with all of that, except the smoking.   

I've nothing against none smokers, Simon. Just do your none smoking outside, please

Steve

Generally everyone gets that I don't like smoking around me, however, I'm not sure why the pubs for example didn't just have smoking rooms - didn't they use to?

[sam]

then again, it was all about employee safety so I guess that doesn't go away, but big giant fans help.

[D-Dan]

Many pubs still have it etched in glass on the door - "Smoke Room"!

Steve

[Simon]

They still have smoke rooms.  They just call it a beer garden. 

[D-Dan]

Personally, I haven't been to a pub since I got back to the UK - so I don't really care

Steve

[Simon]

I probably go in one three or four times a year.  25 years ago, it was three or four times a week!

Clive's thinking of something entirely different now.
