And a mild scolding in the west of Scotland. A fool, a silly-sausage or indeed, a bit of a dick.

Irn Bru even got away with it in a commercial six or seven years ago.

Mademoiselle Fanny Ardant.

In a nearby town (Avranches) we have a Fanny Boutique. Much to the amusement of my sons...

I think they're using a similar wheeze on a current advert, where a new dad is told by his good lady that she wants to call their daughter "Fanny" as "my ma was a Fanny" etc, and the drinking of the pop in question enables him to grin and bear it.

Then there's the verbal form 'fannying' or 'to fanny up' much used in the graphic design world. This is to take something shit from a client (for instance the winning idea from a logo competition that the client thought might be a Good Idea to make his customers feel included) and to burnish the festering turd of an idea into something that might actually work.

That's interesting, I'd have assumed to 'fanny up' would be a variation on to 'fuck up'.

[Daley Mayle]

No, that's Thomased*

Sorry, that last one just sold.

I see Dave Whelan's turned up as a character witness. Not only a Thatcherite turd, but also a nonce defender. Amazing.

Lovely comment from his lawyer...

"In the dock today is a frightened and bewildered 83-year-old man answering for the touching - no more, no less - of all of 13... victims over a quarter of a century ago”

Twat/Cunt of the day?

If the lawyer thought the offences were trivial why didn't he advise his client to contest them in court?

[Big Arnold]

He didn't appear frightened and bewildered when denying the charges. Let's hope he loses his OBE.

All depends on what sort of "touching" he did, I'd have thought. I mean there is "touching" and there's "touching".

Inserting your finger into the vagina of a drunk and vomiting 13 year-old sounds slightly more than touching.

The judge's sentencing remarks are here and make grim reading.
