He was again called Fat Paul tonight, so no need to worry. Mind you, it was Eddie and Joe Grundy and they've never been remotely politically correct.
My money's on the laxative chocolate theory.

Don't let that dampen your righteous indignation, though ...

Um... I assume that last post wasn't aimed at me. As far as I can tell, I've been consistently attempting to piss from the greatest height on the righteous nonsense...

I suppose the references to Paul Blocker are to convince us that he's not called Fat Paul because he's fat, but because he's named Blocker - therefore less incorrect politically, so they don't have to lose the character.

Perhaps Liz the Squeak can start a new thread. 'Tits and Fat Pauls'?
