OMG! I have tears rolling down my face! This is just the funniest thread that I have ever seen! Mods would you like to actually read threads and posts before you censor them?

Thanks mimi for pasting the 'article' into a new thread. I feared the DS mods may have permamently banished it to the ether! I think the article being censored for copyright reasons is funnier than any joke I could think of! I've been upstaged by the mods!

Wait for it BA!!! You've yet to have Len on the forum complaining that the LA Underground whatsit didn't ask him for his views!

Thank goodness I got to read that elsewhere - and copied it for prosperity (well, for sharing really - who do I pay my copyright fee too?)

C,mon mods - restore the original post!

Actually it was force-ten that copied it onto the Lazy Journalist thread before it got "edited" by mods.

I just wanted to make sure it got the readership it deserved.

Please keep posting more of the same, you crazy fools.

i pity the fools, I pity the fools that miss this thread!

Hope this doesn't get me into trouble but I thought in view of recent events, the mistakenly censored article should be replaced.

Maybe BA Baracus can let us know what "The Los Angeles Underground Times" had to say about JS's departure...

Reign Of Fear In UK

The fabric of British society was on the verge of being torn apart today as a poor dancer continues to appear in a light entertainment show. John Sergeant, 60-something, stands accused of vote-rigging, colluding with a Russian and not being very good.

Sergeant was originally hired to play the role of "Token Old Duffer" in the popular television programme "Strictly Come Dancing". This role was scripted by the BBC to last no more than three weeks but Sergeant refuses to leave. This has caused uproar among the show's other cast members. Dancer James Jordan told interviewers: "It should be based on dancing, not gimmicks. Obviously, by gimmicks I don't mean playing guitar on someone's leg, or including headbanging in a ballroom dance, or rumba-ing round a stationary rugby player, all those things are fine."

This isn't the first problem that Sergeant has caused for the show's producers. On 25th October Sergeant was seen marching in a military style whilst dragging a Russian woman, Kristina Rihanoff, along the floor by her arms. Police believe Miss Rihanoff may have been frightened into silence but should she make a formal complaint, Sergeant could be facing a charge of assault and battery.

It has also been discovered that Sergeant DRUGGED the water of fellow contestants Mark Foster and Andrew Castle, causing them to lose all sense of co-ordination. Sergeant was himself then a victim of a revenge attack and had his water drugged before performing a salsa. An accomplice tried to telephone Sergeant to warn him but he was already on stage and had to dance anyway.

Sergeant is also supected to be connected to the disappearance of Hayley Holt. Miss Holt, a New Zealander, suddenly vanished in mid October and has not been seen since.

Police are appealing for people to come forward but, according to sources, Sergeant has threatened that if anyone goes to the police, he will perform a rumba and make everybody watch.

The authorities are hopeful that Sergeant's reign of terror may come to end in the next couple of weeks but many fear it may last until Christmas.

Thanks for replacing it.

Hey, BA. You've got a challenge!
