    When was that? June?

    I think you should leave this to the more experienced members, newbie. :lol:

    Steve

    The council guppy joking, surely?

    They should be more koi in future, the clown’s.

    I think Neon Barblet might have the commentating gig alongside Pilchard, Jeremy.

    Understood Corm.

    To be fair, I agree that we don’t want swear words in a Thread title. I’m certainly not advocating a free-for-all – merely a little common-sense.

    Bum. Tit. Arse.

    It was a long time ago so I might be wrong, but I think when I first became a TRF lurker, I couldn’t access the Lounge to view posts – only the Racing forum.

    Maybe the Lounge (where most of the industrial language is thrown around) can be made a closed forum, only accessible by registered members? That way, anyone under 13yo can’t get to see anything posted in there.

    Dunno.

    It just seems a bit extreme that any kind of swearing can get you jottered from the forum. Sometimes, the desired affect in a post, can only be given by use of a profanity.

    That might be taken as a sign of a lack of vocabulary, but some of us are less perspicuous than others.

    Innit.

    Sorry Corm – I’m none the wiser. Will I, or will I not, get pinged if I use a swear word?

    I also think you are playing a dangerous game pulling the "this site is viewed by children" card.

    Perhaps myself, insomniac and other should not bother ourselves debating Middle East politics (for example), because the subject can’t be comprehended by minors??

    Are you sure this is necessary, Corm?

    "You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws"

    That’s the closest reference I could get from the T&C’s. If this is meant to highlight that swearing is not allowed, it is ambiguous at best, imo.

    And by your measure, I must have been on the wrong forum for years – as my stuff has routinely been littered with profanities since I started posting here.

    Westerner to Solerina, and then five French Champion Hurdles before tea.

    Offspring to be called ‘Wyatt Earp’

    All that Hicks material to choose from, and you go for the clip where he loses it at an audience member?

    Tsk tsk, Kotki…….hang your head in shame.

    No pun intended.

    Precisely. Let us hope that we have not got a society which sentences on opinion rather than proof.

    Don’t we sometimes we sentence on balance of probability?

    Armageddon.

    About 15 minutes in, I was praying for the real thing.

    Utter shite.

    I don’t think things have got that desperate quite yet.

    Where’s the problem, Jeremy?

    lollys mate is a single agenda merchant, and once he’s cleared the immigrants out of Harrow, he’ll leave it to his most trusted advisor (me) to make policy,

    Then there’ll be gravy for everyone.

    Despite appearances to the contrary, I’m more Michael Rimmer than Arnold J Rimmer.

    PS. Please……no ‘rim’ jokes. I’ve already thought of that, so don’t waste your time. :mrgreen:

    Isn’t she "a lady that does" for N.Henderson?

    Colin

    Surely not Henderson, Colin!!?

    I thought she hung off the arm of Charlie Brooks these days?

    Fortunately, I still get the Beeb, and I’m off to watch the rather excellent documentary on Paris that they’re running.

    The bird who presents it has a bit of a ropey bugle, but otherwise she’s all va-va-voom.

    Top veiwing.

    The types of drugs I am talking about are the ones that have become an industry in their own right, heroine and latterly coccaine .. you know as well as I do that the industry that goes on behind the drug scene is horrendous.

    You’re right, Davros………….its almost as bad as what goes on behind the scenes in the Nike Air Jordan industry.
