Tuber Mirum

A swear filter is only as good as whoever's programming it. As the Freedom Polisher said to the Canadian.

We could learn something from this, eh Admins? Think of the fun Wouldn't that be a bit childish?

That's not what it says on your CV.

Quite. It just goes to show the arbitrary nature of things. And what a bunch of bloody hypocrites we all are.

As I posted in another thread, upgrading Firefox to version 2.0 enabled me to use the chat again.

Is there any actual proof of that, other than that I occasionally edit his posts to read "regards, iain" ?

Excellent. I assume Messrs Bush and Blair will be next in line for the firing squad, having killed slightly more people probably more horribly and senselessly than Saddam ever did. Admittedly they were only foreigners though.

Chat wouldn't load on my Mac with Firefox. Just got an endless progress bar. Upgrading to the new Firefox (2.0) seems to have done the trick though. It has a built in Spell Checker with a British English version. Highly recommended.

Oh come on TLC, give it a try.

Happy belated Birthday Vinegar Tits! here's a nice picture of Dylan O'Connor, (whose birthday it is today) in celebration: Hope you like it.

Funnily enough, I happened upon this pic of Arthur English earlier today:

No, I wrote that about two days ago.

Buckfast under threat! Doubtless a dastardly scheme from Gallo to ensure his share of the rotgut market.

Don't know how I could have possibly overlooked this opportunity for so long. Josco, vous êtes un Néerlandais.

And being "PC" is roughly equivalent to walking down the street demonstratively wearing a sandwich board saying "Look at me I am not laughing and pointing at every big nose, every unfashionable suit, every frail unsteady old lady." It also does not indicate any sort of respect. Let us not confuse good manners, and civilised, cultivated, respectful behaviour with a ridiculous vogue for pseudo-could-be-considered-respectful sort-of-euphemisms. Next thing they will be telling us Tennent's Lager is a Beer. Meanwhile, somewhere in Oxfordshire.....

There's a whole lot of hipocrisy surrounding political correctness and right and wrong words for things and people. I could go on about it for ever, but I'm not going to. I'll just say that I agree with nearly everyone who has posted on this thread, but in particular with Hein (who is an expert on putting my thoughts into words) and most of what Typhoid Harry writes, though he can be unnecessarily provocative at times. I looked at that site. My opinion: The disclaimer is fair enough "If you think this mocks anyone, this is because you are bringing these prejudices to the site, they are not here to begin with." says it all really. I don't find the site disrespectful, nor do I find it terribly funny, but that's just because it isn't.

Good to see you again Mr. Arnold. I always think of Arnold Ridley. What was it posessed you to start such a controversial and turbulent thread anyway?

Alles erdenklich Gute zum Geburtstag Händi! Have a nice trip.

I think that's the most tasteless board I've ever seen. Firstly it looks disguating (particularly the "avatars") , secondly they have advertising, and thirdly they have a thing called "Premium Membership" which costs money. I wonder how much our members would pay to get a bigger inbox? Or do you get mod powers too?

If it's true, then he's Football Fan's seventh HDP hit, putting him about 100 points in the lead. Godot would take 2nd place. I'm assuming Ross Davidson has been in a panto, but can anyone provide evidence? [edit] found some [/edit]

Somebody that knows a place North of the Tay and Dee river. Maybe, but the "Prince of Wales" has a better pint. Then again for a punch up we could go to "Peep Peeps". Not as well as I know this place. How about the Double Two down on Balnagask Road? If it´s still there.

That reminds me, Windsor still owes me a pint. How about "Ma" Cameron's in Little Belmont Street?

You are stupid people here Notapotato you are NEXT!!!!!!!!!! Oh?

No we're not. Some of us are d**ks. Ducks? Dorks probably. You have to be careful whom you call one of them. I know.

Umlaut or not, one of us is missing the point. This still doesn't explain why he thought uberuebermenschen was an insult. PS if we are nit-picking to the point of worrying over missing umlauts, your exclamation mark is superfluous. Even more so when one takes into account the touching use of an expressive Smilie. The term Übermensch is often confused with the Nazis' Herrenvolk (Master race). Perhaps he's calling us arrogant. Nice bit of counter-pedantry there Mr. Pooka. I stand corected.
