But in my three year tenure on these hallowed boards I have never, ever, EVER been the victim of such a vicious personal slight as the one so-called Mr Cormack of 15 posted above.
You are an egregious, wicked, godless individual, sir, and I send you to Heck forthwith.

You can add "myopic" to the list as well, J.
For the record, graysons also likes Phil Collins, Elton John, Sting and Tina Turner………………
They’re tinkers…………from Tynecastle……….or Magdalene (in Friggo’s case)………………….or Lithuania (in the case of all their players)…………..surely that’s reason enough to hate them??
They lose to Hibs last night and it’s ‘no disgrace’ what sort of attitude is that?
Heavens!
.Time for a yellow card, corm. Isn’t there a rule specifically excluding Jambo’s from the site??? You can ping Friggo n’all, while yer at it.
It’s Flat racings equivalent of "It’s A Royal Knockout".
Each can decide for themselves whether this is a good or a bad thing.
Just finished "Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs" by Irvine Welsh.
The Southside, Leith-wannabe, baldy, radge is back on form with this tome – a thoroughly hilarious and excellent romp through the streets of the port (and San Francisco).
Welcome back GH.
If I went into someone else’s house and they told me not to use a certain word, then I’d abide by it.Thanks insomniac.
I suppose the above is fair enough, but what if you’ve lived in the house for several years and swore like a sailor the entire time, without causing any expressed offence to anyone at any stage??
Corm has been a member at TRF the whole time I’ve been resident (currently c50 posts
), and use of certain words was never an issue before, or at least, was never expressed as an issue. Why is it a problem only of late?
Again, I agree that we don’t want profanities in thread titles, but this blanket ban seems quite Stalinist in nature, and has been implemented for no good reason that I’ve seen offered (not that Corm or LRM are compelled to provide one, of course).Maybe I’ll start a ‘Beat the Censor" thread, to see what we can smuggle past Corm? That should **** him off good and proper.
I can give you three points for replying, Drone, but I have to dock two points for you selecting the easy sale.
I’ve just added to a thread in the Sports section, where my use of the word a*r*s*e was censored as an expletive.
I don’t kick-off this topic just to get on Corms jugs (afraid to use the word ‘tits’), but this degree of censorship just seems insane to me.
Again, I don’t propose a free-for-all where every thread is chock-full of industrial language for its own sake, but my experience of TRF is that it has chugged along quite nicely up until now, with swearing usually in context, or at least, used to humourous effect in most cases. I simply don’t see that Admin needs to intervene at all in this regard, let alone to the extent that the colloquial for the posterior is considered beyond the pale.
Corm is the guvnor, of course, and I guess its between him and LRM to decide what’s best for the site. But this apparent level of censorship just seems totally inappropriate and unnecessary. Is it just me?
I’ll know where I stand as far as the site goes, if this thread is ultimately deleted.
Corm, am I to understand that the word a*r*s*e counts as an expletive under the new regime???
Sorry, but this is just a little bit ridiculous in my opinion.
And totally unnecessary too.
Not the kind of development that I think adds to the site – in fact, I think it takes away from the place.
I’m an adult, and I don’t need to be censored like this.
……….and has the ability to go past defenders.
Sorry Aranalde, but my arse he does. Maybe 8 years ago, but …….
Interesting watching ESPN when I was away. I figure they’ve called it right. Interest in the Beckham ‘story’ will last until traininng camps for the American Football teams start in the US……thats this week…………..and then it will evaporate.
Girls and schoolkids might play football/soccer, but the major sports networks couldn’t give a rats ass. Indeed, Beckham was getting the pish ripped out of him for appearing for a total of about 15 minutes on his debut, despite all the hoo-ha.
He has about as much chance of ‘converting’ the States to soccer, as Jesus/Mohammed have of converting me to Christianity/Islam.
Now Buddha? Thats a different matter altogether…………..
Greetings from sunny Nassau (where it’s currently pishing down).
The boozers here are fine, and they ping plenty of rum into your pina colada.
We were rather forced to move from our regular lunchtime boozer, after a couple of the chaps were found cattled outside it at 3pm on a Wednesday afternoon, by some of the senior bods in our work. Said boozer is ‘Clarks Bar’ at the foot of Dundas Street in Auld Reekie. As the satrightforward name suggests, it is emphatically not the kind of place where you would go to spy crumpet of a lunch-time, or have anything nutritious to eat, but if its a drinking mans boozer you are after, then look no further.
We have since moved about 400 yards round the corner, to the St Vincent Bar. It’s a bit pokey, but thay have an 8ft x 8ft ‘garden’ area, which is covered by a single parasol. Excellent for drinking Guiness and smoking snout in the rain…….at lunchtime, naturally.
Heavens!
