Susie's example of 'Tensions'

Post by Martin Smith »

Was the Middle East really the smartest example to use, considering the backgrounds of the people present in Monday's game? I wonder how many complaints it will receive, and whether they considered editing it our or reshooting it?

What, because people whose grandparents lived in Asia would be offended by the suggestion that there is tension in the Middle East?

I'll guess at "none". Anyone else?

It was a perfect example of how the plural of tension is used.

To date, none.

We held several meetings, involving advisors from the Vatican and Terry Waite, but after much deliberation it was decided we take the risk...... what exactly would we edit it for?

Yawn.

Are there any other allowable examples of TENSIONS in the ODE2r, eg TENSIONS in mathematics or possibly sexual TENSIONS? I'd like to hear Susie talk about those :P
