I recorded a radio promo for an upcoming commentary, kept getting it wrong and screamed abuse at myself into the microphone. When I edited it down I accidentally left in the bit where I loudly called myself a "c***". It went out on air 6 times before I had a chance to delete it.

Seen the usual moans and groans about commentators apologising for bad language during football matches. Ofcom take swearing heard on TV and radio very seriously and apologies are required. They have undertaken a lot of research into the acceptability of offensive words.
