That quote was from another thread, and so he couldn't have been replying to it on this thread. His post on THIS thread is the one I was dealing with.

My apologies...I was multi-tasking.

I did research it, and I read the comments about Brits being 'squares'. I made the same points as you about the producer on LDN Breakfast. However, the decision he made reflects on HIM, and HIM alone. Since I have heard Dick Around on the BBC radio and television, and ONLY the BBC, then the claim that this song was banned by the BBC would appear to be wrong. So who should YOU be 'lecturing' about doing their research?

BTW, I have also worked for SVT and RAI.

Well, when I reply to a post on a thread, it is THAT post I am replying to, not some other posts on another thread. If we all had to trawl through every post, to see if someone had said something else relating to the point they are making in the post we are replying to, then no one would ever post anything. When replying to a post, I will respond ONLY to that post, and my points will deal ONLY with the points that person is making in that post.

he wasn't saying you should reply to them but instead, use them for research. Research IS trawling through stuff, if you are a student you should know that. I seem to have spent a large part of my life trawling through long forgotten books of lore, and if you can't read a few posts on a website, may god have mercy on us all.

thank you, and good night.

I replied to the post at the top of this thread. That is ALL I need to reply to. My points were valid, accurate and pertaining to that post. No one has said that my points were innaccurate, so what is your point?

I can take all the patronising comments you might like to throw at me. I'm used to dealing with older people. Few of you are helping to promote Sparks to people of my age. There's even a thread suggesting that younger people should be banned from here. No doubt that will be excused as humour.

I'm sorry..it's all my fault...I didn't realise that by remembering something someone said on a different thread would bear no relation to what they said to another one they posted on...In which case everyone will have to go over every thread to restate their points of view....or else,for example... the fact I said I was scottish on another topic means that I'm no longer of that ilk on this one...oh god where do I start...and where does it end?

YES! but the ONE person that didn´t play "Dick Around" on that show did it BECAUSE OF THE TITLE that he thought was inappropriate (I´m not sure correct spelling?).That was atleast a wrong decision by him (if not the whole BBC so to speak).Atleast HE could had listen to the lyrics and then HE would have found out it was no reason to not play it.
Afterall the show was an interview with Sparks and about that specific song (their new single) so you can´t in any way compare that to someone in another show that choose to not play "White Christmas".That´s something completely different (it´s not that this is all about).

Also lying to say that he played another song from that single ("Waterproof") when in fact he played "perfume" that was many months old then.

FFS. Have we not already been through this? It's ONE producer who made the decision. YES, he should have done his homework, I have never denied that, but it is one producer out of thousands. It was HIS decision, not the BBC's. It was ALWAYS going to be his decision, and NEVER the BBC's to make. The BBC have NOT banned this song. This is getting tiresome.

Yes! but anyway you did wrong to compare it with a ONE producer that choose to not play "White Christmas" because the ONE producer that didn´t play "Dick Around" did that because of THE TITLE that HE thought was inappropriate not because of that he just didn´t want to play it.
So that´s a COMPLETELY different case.
I´m totally with you in that it´s not THE BBC´S fault. It´s ONE producers fault.
I´m not sure who´s fault it was to say "waterproof" was played instead of "Dick Around" (from the same single) when infact "Perfume" (a then many months old single) was played.OK I´m rather sure it´s not the whole BBC`S fault.
