That appears to be the actual title of the video so I think we are going to need a lengthy court case to make a ruling on this one

I was once told by the editor that ****ing was acceptable.

spelt with a E rather than a U.

The moral stance would be to not advertise it (which raises another issue....)

Of course it's acceptable. It's a hundredth of a dollar, there's nothing offensive about that.

Bollox, shit, ****

All from issue 112, so I guess they must be acceptable on here.

EDIT: Ah, no, it seems that the w word is OK to print, but not to use online.

I can manage to type on an internet forum without needing to swear. That doesn't make me a fool.

Me too, which is why I was slightly surprised to find that proper journalists can't write a magazine article without feeling the need to pop in the odd expletive. Not that it really bothers me, just seems a bit unnecessary, that's all.

Here's the truth. We can swear on our own site and in the mag. You guys can't. That's how it is. Is it fair? No. But it's still how it is.

Think of it like this. I can walk around my own house in just my pants. But if you visit, you can't.

Hope that helps clear this all up.

Greyish ones that a long time ago used to be white but have become a bit baggy and holey with a feint skid mark in the back that never came out in the wash?

That would have been a better way to end that paragraph in my opinion. Salt in the wound 😀

Pants in the British context or American?

Sure does, now I feel justified for only flicking through ST in WHSmiths and Promoting Ad Free Browsing.

Swearing on the internet and doubly so forums is plain juvenile and silly

Apparently not as i got banned for using the well known [i] f e c k [/i] phrase used by Father Jack from the Father Ted show, i guess the fact that i pointed out that you can hear this phrase on R4 during the day irked whatever mod banned me, perhaps he/she/insert non-gender specific pronoun here wasn't a fan of the show.

I do it all the time. But you are out - so that's ok, right?

I didn't even know the forum had a seat filter!

Probably due to the fact I don't bother swearing on here.

In real life, of course.

On any forum, this or others,I never feel the need to.

What's a seat filter? Does it allow one to pass gas without the unpleasant odour?

Are those the pants that are worn under the shorts that Mark was going to eat if some site update, that didn't happen, didn't happen about 4 years ago?

If so, I don't believe they exist as he never ate the shorts as the update didn't happen, therefore they couldn't have existed as he would have such to his word.

The ultimate swear word as described by Uncle Rick "the N-word and the C-word had a baby, and that baby was raised by all the bad words for jews."

Fair enough; your house, your rules. You might not get too many visitors if you spend all day in your pants though. Unless you are trying to attract a particular sort of visitor 🙂

I thought it was coz it was paid for content.

Quite frankly I think STWtowers have missed a trick, for, say, an extra £5 a year p's could get a swear filter disable button (like wot we get for ads)...

C'mon ye ****s, you know it makes sense 😉

Utter nonsense, bit of sentiment, good riding and a reminder of just HOW old I am. Worth a watch.

Made me think what good lads and lasses they are, making a living having fun, they all seem to have their heads screwed on, they're not hurting anyone. Makes me wish I'd done more stuff like that instead of paying my ex's mortgage...
