Hummm interesting this .. seems to be a good mix of feelings about this little 'U' jobby.
If we read them all .. there are those who think the 'U' is totally unnecessary and probably seen as offensive to most 'outside' readers. Well .. I for one think it is unnecessary and I try hard to avoid using it in conversation .. I'd bet good money that many more of you do the same too. Saying F*** You is out of order in any form.
There are those who say 'It's just a Name for a Club so it's no big deal'.
Well if it is 'just a name' I can't see why it can't be changed .. the 'Club' is the members and it will remain the same no matter what its called. Change it so that we have nothing being given out verbally or in writing to offend anyone .. in particular possible new members who may do a 180 when they read the current title!
We also have one or two individual opinions .. I really like Lord Jon's gem: 'The whole country is not such a fun place these days'. It's not just the UK Jon .. same down my end and right across Europe I recon.
So if Europe is not so happy .. I don't think saying FOC-U to everyone out there is going to cheer anyone up one little bit. Are we all B for Bikers .. or bloody DDDHY (disrespectful, disinterested, destructive Hoody Yobbos!)
I'm sure we have enough creative talent in here to come up with a good name that meets all the criteria ..
