Bazza454 Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 In deference to the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Royal Commission for Political Correctness, it was announced today that the local climate in the UK should no longer be referred to as "English Weather".In order to avoid offending a sizeable portion of the population, it will now be referred to as "Muslim Weather".In other words - "Partly Sunni but mostly Shi'ite".
twooks Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 one way to get rude words past the auto censor tho - using an apostrophe given that if you live in S****horpe you can't tell anyone or is that all part of PC gone mad as well :D B-)
michele Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Whats wrong with S****horpe? Who done that oh its getting silly isnt it ...
howie Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 There's two T watts in Scotland Michele ( three if you count the time when Chopper tours up there ) but like Sc***thorpe, innocent placenames are subject to the same automatic censorship simply to eliminate foul language which overall must be a good thing. As my old pal Isaac Hunt used to say, you'll never beat the system, so rather than cause offence its better to leave things as they are.

The only problem though Howie is when it **** letters from perfectly reasonable words, it them makes you wonder what the 'bad' word was that was **** out! 8-) That's my excuse anyway .... :D
Mel B Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Hey! I've just thought of a new 'game' to play!!! Lets see who can come up with the longest word with the most number of letters automatically **** out! (lol)
twooks Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 I blame the Yanks - they've even changed titbits to tidbits heaven only knows what they call the birds - 'specially the great tit n blue tit B-)
howie Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Reminds me of the chorus line to a song we used to sing in junior school. Tit warble, Tit warble, Tit warble. No prizes for who spent most of their time sat in the corner facing the wall. :-(
