So what's new...........they and the likes of The Stones, Rod Stewart, Long John Baldry etc. from the early 60s have said this many times, AND they in return have acknowledged how much they were in debt to British groups who gave their careers a kick up the arse, creating world-wide fame for them.
According to reports, ITV is planning a business-themed reality show to rival "The Apprentice".
When discussing the new show, the bods at ITV seem enthusiastic.
I asked one of them, "Would it be fair to say you're fired . . . up about it?"
He saw what I did there. 
It's getting more and more difficult to find a film on TV that isn't preceded by a warning about its potential to cause offence.
In some cases, one only has to think of the potentially-offending film in order to remember that it contains characters and/or language that might be unpopular among certain sections of society in 2020.
I was, however, somewhat taken aback to learn that Sky has added a disclaimer to the film "Aliens".
A little research revealed that the potentially offensive aspect of that film is that a Hispanic character is played by a non-Hispanic actor.
I didn't realise that was offensive.
Still, we live and learn (as they say).
Still on the subject of non-Hispanics playing Hispanic roles in films, I think Sky's worry about "Aliens" is that the Hispanic Private Jenette Vasquez was played by Californian Jenette Goldstein.
While Ms Goldstein may not be Hispanic, she does her best to be diverse by being Jewish with Russian, Moroccan and Brazilian ancestors.
Also, the character's name was Jenette and they cast an actress whose name was also Jenette thus avoiding causing offence to those who believe a fictional character should only ever be portrayed by an actor with the same name as that character.
As ever, of course, it seems when you're trying to avoid giving offence, you just can't win. 
Aliens was poop
So was Alien
I do however love Alien 3 and Alien 4
Oddly
Katie Hopkins has been banned from Twitter.
Some say "Good riddance".
Others denounce her ban as a crime against free speech.
It's a funny old world.
That excuse for a human being makes my flesh crawl
I just love the "If you've been affected by any of the issues......" after almost every TV programme. I needed therapy myself after something I saw.
A young man man who never knew his father, has his family killed, he then runs away with a creepy old man, nearly has a relationship with a girl later revealed to be his sister, almost dies in a snowy wilderness, meets up with his genocidal absent dad, who chops his hand off, and he then joins a bonkers religious cult. If ever there was a family perfect for the Jeremy Kyle show its the Skywalker clan.
Twitter's censorship bar must be in the gutter if they've only just banned Hopkins. I bet Rose West still has an account.
She blocked me
So the one drivel spouting racist isn't allowed on Twitter but the one in the White House is?
