Lawro could sue Mirror and 118

BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson could sue the Mirror newspaper and telephone service 118-118.

The tabloid reported how it had called the service asking the question "is Mark Lawrenson gay?"

The answer came back "no, but he takes it up the arse".

Lawrenson is one of the funniest and most down-to-earth people at the BBC.

But he was understandably upset by this offensive joke, particularly as it could lead to his son Sam being ridiculed at school.
