But I’ve seen one of the big cats we get excited about over here. I thought there was someone on my conservatory roof, it was creaking with the weight. It was about 1 in the morning so I burst out on to the patio to confront them. We stopped and stared at each other as I tried to work out what the **** it was. Bigger, chunkier and sleeker than a fox I was trying to make it a dog of some sort but I knew it wasn’t, then it moved off quite rapid and was clearly a cat. True story that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted October 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2019 Along the lines of @Seat68's question: How do the obscenity filters work? Do they clean it up for you and you're good to go or do you still get a warning because you violated a rule? Are most of the occurrences of substitute phrases actually the result of the filter or have they been typed in by the posters because they know it's going to come out that way anyway (and doing so might avert a warning)? What is "Representative of Wellington" a stand-in for? I get "clearing in the woods" and think I know what "word removed" is. The Wellington one seems a fairly recent addition.

Rep for Wellingborough is a joke. It replaces To$$er. Because the MP for Wellingborough is quite frankly a bit of a To$$er. It wasn’t added as anything other than an in joke after said perso did something particularly irritating. Word Removed was the first and just replaced the C word clearing is the Middle English origination of the t word iird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 12 hours ago, useless said: Is Bigfoot ( Sasquatch) real. no but I don't know the story as to why they did it, loch ness for example driving around the highlands and finding yourself pulled to a loch that really is no better or prettier than many of the other lochs and doesn't have that much there other than the museum and the castle near by which doesn't look anything special but is always busy or fort Augustus where you can fight your way through American (and now Chinese) tourists taking pictures of the English tourists on boat holidays before you leave the country via a tourist shop buying as much nessie tat as possible, I can cynically guess what happened in loch ness and why they did it bigfoot is different, I don't know the aftermath and what its done, couldn't even tell you where in America it was said to be, nessie made loch ness world famous, as famous as big foot is the cashing in on him seems to be less successful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pelle Posted October 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2019 Why are so many, mostly middle aged men, so afraid of a 16 year old girl who's only crime is that she wants people to think more about the environment and to reduce the pollution and so on? Some are so afraid that they feel the need to patronice bully her and her family, they put hatred on her for wanting a better world. I just don't get it. I mean, I don't believe everything she says is the absolute truth. All I know is that she knows more about it than I do and that she's fighting for a good cause. How can that be so wrong in some peoples eyes? It's like the folklore about that Jesus guy. He talked about love and peace and that everyone should be nice to each other, so we nailed him on a cross and let him hang there untill he died. Not comparing Greta with Jesus in any other way, btw. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funniest thing about the people who slate her actively root through her history and families history to dig up dirt. She's been selectively quoted to make her look bad "You stole my future" accompanied by pictures of her rich parents next to poor kids in Africa, when the full quote was "You stole my future, and I'm one of the lucky ones". These people spend more time disproving/slating/making up lies/ then actually researching and coming up with counter argument. Honestly, if I see another "BUT THE WORLD HEATS UP AND COOLS DOWN ON IT'S OWN!!!!" argument, I'll hurt myself. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the other week I saw a picture of her wearing some t-shirt that if I got it right was a fascist t-shirt and then her appologising saying that she didn't know what it was. Then they had a picture of her parents in the same t-shirt which clearly should point out that she knew fully well what she was wearing. Of course this was spread out on the internet, and of course it was photoshopped. At least the pictures of her parents. Why go out of your way for things like this?

They was also the picture of her eating stuff on the train, moaning about her use of plastics etc. She was eating veggie/vegan food from fully recyclable materials. All it takes is 1 minute of research and it disproves their argument. But they won't because it doesn't suit it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as soon as they've hit send, they've moved on and won't consider their incorrectness, despite being wrong, as you said. That's the problem with most people, they just want to get likes from fellow simpletons. Like if you agree. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
