Did we not have an instance of this type of madness in Accrington back in the 70s?

Taking account of the fact that the “Rainbow” was hijacked by those nice floral types to announce gayness to the world, will it now mean that the former Baa, baa Black Sheep is now Gay?

And, what about all those nice Monks - Will they become Rainbow Friars? God help us A-B.

Madness reigns supreme. What next no black ties, shoes, suits, cars, berries, currents etc etc etc. if its geting that bad there will be no white items soon. I saw a story last week about a shop owner who got a call from the police about an incident at a shop caused by the 3 gollies he had in his window. Police reckoned it could caause offence and trouble. Why dont we just alpha numericaly code colours the same as when they are manufactured and just use that then no one could be offended, unless a eEnglish or maths teacher. This has to stop. :mad:

From now on I might coplain if I am discribed as white and take offence of the use of white! If they want to stop or ban any thing that could be used as racial stereotyping then it should be used for the rest of us.

We do code colours, #FFFFFF is white for example, #000000 is black, #FF66CC is a lovely shade of pink

That would be fun when ordering cakes. :)

Re: Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep??????
 

What about that arch fascist Mary?


Has she escaped the re-wording.


Her, the naughty little minx, that would only have a lamb whose fleece was white as snow.

Surely you aren't afraid of walking up and down the promenade in your rainbow coloured, velveteen, leisure suit, for fear of being thought of as a nancy?:D

Re: Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep??????
 

In a word. Yes! :D :D :D

I don't use a lot of colour. Black, white shades of Grey and occasion Blue tones are fine by me. :)

Re: Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep??????
 

That's a bit shocking Ian!

I'm more of a pale version of FFCC99 :D

Re: Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep??????
 

A couple of Asian friends of mine are forever pointing out how pale I am and when I get a tan they put their arms next to mine and tell me how far I am off having a proper tan like them. This is not offensive to anyone, it's banter and it's fun - we're simply different colours and we all know it and accept it!

Re: Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep??????
 

Anyway, for the more politically correct people - what about this version

Baa, baa, white sheep
Have you any spots?
Some on my belly, some on my toes
And one very big one on the end of my nose

Re: Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep??????
 

Now that, Gayle, is very offensive to people who suffer from acne! :eek:

Re: Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep??????
 

Yes, of course, - and also to the ones who are currently suffering from chicken pox.


BTW - this was taught to me by my children who learnt it at nursery. Along with

Twinkle Twinkle Traffic Lights
Standing at the corner bright
When it's green it's go go go
When it's red it's no no no
Twinkle Twinkle traffic lights
standing at the corner bright


I think they're are trying to move away from the traditional ones as much as possible for lots of reasons

Re: Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep??????
 

(Un)fortunately Siobhan will be dragged up properly with the full, unabridged original versions. Just like at the local church where they have some new fangled version of the lord prayer. I still happily belt out the one I learnt at Spring Hill Sunday school thanks!

Re: Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep??????
 

You can't have a blackboard in schools any more, it's a chalkboard. I think it's offensive to black people to assume that they all have such heightened sensitivity that the word "black" can't be used. It does imply that "black" is a derogatory term - how's that for racist then.

Oh, and while I remember, some years back Lambeth Council banned a road safety campaign from its schools, because it was racist. Can anyone tell me what was racist about Tufty the Squirrel???

Re: Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep??????
 

Well his full name was Tufty Fluffytail so maybe some people have fluffy tails:eek:

Re: Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep??????
 

Mary had a little lamb. Its fleece was white as snow. Everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.




A young person of the female gender was the possessor of a small immature ruminant of the species genus Ovis, whose outermost covering reflected all wavelengths of visible light with a luminosity equal to that of a mass of naturally occurring microscopically crystalline water. Regardless of the translational path chosen by the aforesaid young person, there was a 100% probability that the aforementioned ruminant would select the same pathway.

Re: Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep??????
 

reasonably un PC but quite a funny story was when I was at Uni.

I went to Bangor in North Wales and stayed in Halls of Residence. The building I was in was self catering and basically each 'floor' consisted of a square with 18 rooms round the outside, bathrooms/toilets in teh middle and a large kitchen/dining room on one side of teh square. When I went ( a long long time ago) it was a couple of years after a world cup. basically the cameroon football squad had been promised an english uni education if they did well in teh WC. As it was, we ended up with 4 of the lads on our floor. We also had a lad from Hong Kong, a Greek ex heroin addict, a French lad and a yank. It was quite multicultural and we all got on really well.

Anyway, one day my Mum and Dad came to visit and brought our dog with them. We'd been out for the day, I'd done the usual show them the local sites etc and we went back to my room for some tea

Anyway my dog decided that he was going to have a wander round to see what's what. After a while I decided to get him back to the room so quite innocently went to the door and shouted for him just as the Cameroon lads walked round teh corner.

So what ddid I shout?


HERE SAMBO!!!!!

One big effort of making a fuss of the dog, "Good dog sambo, etc" later.......
