Jermaine Jenas sacked by the BBC

[Kippaxpete]

Not going to lie, I loved listening to his Nottingham accent. Love that accent.

He’s a wank pundit, though.

I absolutely hated his accent, particularly when he insisted on repeatedly pronouncing Aguero's name as "Agueero". Good riddance I say.

Leeds is just posh yonner

L***s? "posh"?

 

[Kippaxpete]

Matter of opinion I suppose. Have you ever been to Scouseland?

Precisely. Scouses - particularly the plastic ones - sound like they're constantly trying to cough up phlegm!

 

[jimharri]

His life is fucked. Sky News going heavy on this.

Do we destroy people before we know what they’ve done? Or, should we wait to see what the reality is?

Plenty on here throwing around serious accusations yesterday. Words like "pervert" and "nonce" being thrown around freely. Unless those people were present when he did what he's alleged to have done, they're just making themselves look silly.

And always very loudly.

It’s what the BBC does to the thought process of some.

You're assuming they think?

It's impossible to guess at the content of the texts he's allegedly sent given the wildly schizophrenic moral standards of the BBC.

One minute they're protecting paedophiles and sexual predators and the next minute they're acting like the most overly woke and self-righteously politically correct arbiters of moral standards that it's possible to be.

It’s a lovely accent, at least to my ear. Friendly, warm and lends itself well to delivery of humour. Probably helps that some of my favourite people in the world have that accent. That’s got to play a part.

We all have accents that trigger us though. The Leeds accent grates my gears somewhat.

Not keen on the Leeds accent but it's the
broad guttural Scouse with the horrible inflections at the end of the sentence grates mine. Mild Scouse though can actually be a lovely accent particularly without those inflections at the end.

Love the Nottingham and Derby accents and the area. We live just up the road in North Derbyshire and we go there often with my daughter's football and I venture to Pride Park with the lad to see his team a few times a season. Had some lovely days out driving through Notts on the way to gamed. Cloughie picked up the local accent having spent so much time in those cities, but retained a bit of Middlesbrough.

Wearing ladies underware in the male bogs.

Can’t see that being a problem now you can identify as anything you want at any given moment these days

Disagree lived there for 2 years and loved the accent. Made my day when I got called duck off a woman or made me week when I got called love off a bloke lol

Similarly in my 1st week as a student in Sheffield I was quite surprised when a bus driver said "Yes, love" after I asked him if he was going where I was living. Quite disarming and a lovely cultural trait. I hope it doesn't die out but I suspect it already is.

Go and few miles south to Chesterfield and "love" is replaced with "duck". I like it that people feel relaxed and are friendly enough to do that.

Probably sacked from the BBC for engaging in consensual sex, broke their biggest rule....

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

If it is sexual in nature, the limerick almost writes itself……

And always very loudly.

It's OK, their high pitched voices are only audible to dolphins...

I don't understand these posts or why people seem to think it's such a witty observation?

Company embroiled in scandal 12 years ago for their cover up of things that happened 50 years ago has now got HR policies from 2024.

What's the point here? They should let Jenas do whatever he wants because decades ago different people let Saville and others do what they wanted? They shouldn't have a modern HR policy on sexual misconduct? Are you just confused that things have moved on?

There was an ex footballer called Jermaine
Now presenting on TV was his game
A text he did send
Drove his boss round the bend
And never seen on the BBC again

Weird take on it mate

Waiting for it to become racial now, Saville and Edwards were left to roam free, Jenas couldn't even send a wanger picture without being sacked............

I think the poster you're responding to's point is that - despite having uber-woke 'HR policies from 2024' - the BBC as an organisation seems to be attractive to - and have more than its fair share of - nonces and ne'er-do-wells. They're runnimg at a rate of almost one per month at the mo.

Does that help?
