“What’s black and eats bananas?  Half of London,”

I’m not a fan so haven’t a clue who he is. Apparently lots do and darts really is a spectator sport here. Although I fail to see how it’s a sport.  Are ALL games sports?  Is a game of leisure a sport?  Doesn’t matter. That isn’t the topic.
The topic, yawn, is the usual.
But in this case .... it’s pc over the top. Well pc by its nature is always over the top.

Racial jokes are hate crimes now and subject to investigations disciplinary hearings.  Oh yeah, and of course the obligatory I’m sorry if I offended anyone apologies. 


‘Voice of darts’ quits over racist ‘jokes’

By Eurosport | World of Sport


Legendary darts announcer Martin Fitzmaurice has quit after being caught on camera telling racist jokes.

Fitzmaurice, whose chanted catchphrase “Let’s… play… darts!” is famous throughout the game, made the offensive comments at an international match between Scotland and England being played in Fife.

The compare had initially said that his comments were just ‘a bit of banter’ but after the scandal blew up he decided to offer his resignation which was accepted.

The British Darts Organisation and the Scottish Darts Association had both condemned Fitzmaurice for his comments which included “jokes” such as “What’s black and eats bananas? Half of London,” and “What’s the difference between a P*** and ET? ET went home.”

“I have offered my resignation and they have accepted it,” Fitzmaurice said.

“I made a mistake. I was having a bit of banter with the crowd.

“What happened took place because I was unaware the camera was on. If I have upset anyone I apologise.

“I’m a bit fed up and I’m upset my family has been brought into this.

“My children have been devastated and things that have been said about me are unbelievable.

“I know what I said was wrong but at the end of the day the damage is being done to the sport by those people writing the filth.

“Anyone who knows about darts should know I have been round a long time and it’s always been good.”

A full enquiry is already taking place into this regrettable incident.

The BDO’s statement when the controversy first emerged read: “The British Darts Organisation apologises unreservedly for the fact that racially offensive comments were made by MC Martin Fitzmaurice at the BDO British Internationals in Scotland.

“The BDO wishes to make it clear that it does not tolerate racism in any shape or form, and a full enquiry is already taking place into this regrettable incident. In accordance with BDO rules on racism, Martin Fitzmaurice has been made fully aware of the seriousness of his actions and will be required to face a disciplinary hearing in front of the BDO Board.”

The BBC also condemned Fitzmaurice: “As someone who has appeared in previous tournaments we have televised we are appalled by the alleged remarks.”

“What’s the difference between a P*** and ET? ET went home.”

I believe P*** might stand for Paki?  Someone from Pakistan. Lyndon?  Is that correct?

In any effing event, it’s god damn true. ET did go home.  What’s the problem with that little gag?  So fuckin what.

“What’s black and eats bananas? Half of London,”

Again. So what?  It’s not that funny anyway but what the heck.  Seems like nobody can say anything anymore least someone somewhere decides it fits the racist mold.  I don’t see where telling a gag like that means you hate the object of the joke. Or even dislike the object.

Have any of you heard any comics, I mean real funny guys who could make you laff minus the bad language I used here, have any of you heard anyone who does dialect anymore?

Recently, a young girl, whose story I just don’t feel like going into now, Tweeted using the term fag. But even worse she suggested that her local pizza place needed to learn English. Especially since they deliver and apparently there’s a problem in translations.  Oooh ... RACIST!

screwed up world.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
