I think it was diplomatic language at its most excellent, by Cormack.
Instead of saying that a rubbish worker had been sacked, I used to say that, they had been encouraged to use their skills in an environment more appropriate to their talent.
I dropped into a bookies to watch the Dewhurst a cpl of years back. One punter had been tipped off that a Ballydoyle blue blood was going well at home, the horse was ‘expected to piss in – O’Briens words not mine… ‘ and he had placed the crown jewels on it accordingly.
After watching the horse place second, he was then dually informed that K.Fallon was ‘only a crook’, ‘the race was fixed’ and ‘Fallon probably lost on purpose’….
Presumably contrary to his natural demeanor, he started showing signs an increased agitation with his current surroundings , he proceeded to gracefully put a stool through a television monitor, then jog off the premises stating the he was ‘finished with this gambling ****’

No it’s not. He said "Hard On". Fnar.
The Arthur Askey line was actually well observed and delivered, I’d’ve kept him for that alone.
Obviously I don’t know what went on behind the scenes but on the basis of 8 posts to-date, bit harsh to delete him IMO – could have just got a warning about the langage.
Yes, I agree, there was some potential there.
Rory asked about pre-posting vetting. Pehaps new members should be obliged to read and agree the forum rules before receiving their confirmation email.
Mostly, I detest censorship, but I have noticed that on those boards where posters have free reign to use whatever language they choose, there also tends to be an excess of personal abuse.Sorry Cormack. I now realise we already acknowledge Forum rules:-

I suppose his biggest crime was having a bet in Ladbrokes, of all places. His ranting was mis-placed. But then again, perhaps not, because if he spends £2,000.00 in there he’ll be entitled to a free £20 bet. Now that’s what I call value for money.
As summary dismissals go, that was impressively quick.
Seems the new Remington Troll-Away ™ that Mrs Corm bought our hero works pretty well, then.

That’s actually true.
Arhtur Askey dented CuBone
his flash horriblis.
He recovered but was never quite the same
a slip of the tongoe
flash
a Sachs moment
and Ross went the way of Bross
but CuBone was a gentleman
and recoveredI dont know about Ted Bundy
but Ivan Milat wore facial hair
and I came across his horrendous murders
in Wolf Creek
All new posters
TAKE NOTEI actually thought the frilm wolf Creek
should be banned
unimaginable horror
and slaughter of sheep
however after a good night’s sleep
the night after I watched it
and reading Cherie Blar’s autobiography
My chainsaw Hubby
I have changed my mind….breathing periods
and the death sentence
outlasts Bundy and Milat
just remember its forever
and the bankers got offp.s. I have not read the whole of this thread
I am croned
so may have joined CuBone
temporarily in the land of OHHHHAnyone who swears and is abusive should be banned.
As for his opinions, it’s the "I can’t make a profit so the game must be bent" syndrome.
He had no idea.

Value Is EverythingIf you take out the swearing it was actually quite a good post.
I didn’t realise that they still had tipsters at the racing post, so there you go, I learnt something if no-one else did.

He’s probably already decided football, golf, snooker, tennis, darts are bent too as he couldn’t make money on those either, lol!
