    it aint censorship, its feckin PC bullshit! they can say cock when they got a pic of one (the feathered variety) but apart from that they have to censor it so it dont upset the lemmings! i think the "news" item comes from the great daily publication called "the sun", the worlds biggest selling daily comic it is.....

    mate of mine got fined 2000 pounds a few years ago for flying the st georges flag in london!
    all coz it might upset the majority, ooops i meant the minority!
    oh it was the queens jubilee day too......


    politically correct do gooders have taken over the assylum i tells ya!
    i wouldnt want to be caught dead in the same grave as me.

    So if you say "Here comes Drew Peacock", it's sweet?

    And far canal and far queue?

    Censorship is stupid. Far cough.

Her desires were allegedly quashed by the relevant registrars of new babies and the comptrollers of names French.

    One also understands that the practice of French lads having a girl's name as their second name is a way of increasing the available selection.

    I suppose you're now going to shatter my allusions by providing expert evidence that this is just a crock of shit...
    I certainly would wish for myself not to be quite so arrogant, although it is supposedly one of the allegedly most prevalent traits of my french heritage.

    However, I have never heard of the said incident about Zinzan. The french governement and I parted ways 13 years ago, and I haven't looked back as they are a pontific and moronic assembly of cretins as far as I'm concerned.
    I wouldn't be at all surprised with the veracity of that story.

    what I do know is that some of my relatives have various outlandish names, mostly from old gaelic background, some are even hispanic, and there was never any intervention from the registrars...

    And, the tradition for second names has always been to give the first names of each grandparent to the child, in honour of his ancestors.
    For this reason, please do not ask mine, as they are very desuate (). I do adore both my grandmas, but DANG...

    So, although I cannot completely refute your statements, I just don't think they are entirely accurate, sorry.

    Damn. I was looking for certainty. I guess I'll just have to add a disclaimer every time I trot my story out in future! "Believe at your peril" or something similar...

    (And it's desuete. Nice word choice.)

    Thank you (crap, I had to mispell it, didn't I? )

    A disclaimer would help, but maybe stating the "allegedly" earlier would have been better...in my humble opinion, of course!

    What do you find incredible, dear friend? I am quite curious to know your opinion on this subject
    sounds plausible, no? I wonder how well it does the other way around:

    Je me demande ce qu'est l'équivalent français de l'engrish. Quelque chose a aiment probablement ceci.

    I wonder what the equivalent of Engrish might be in french?
    And the second sentence doesn't make sense, sorry!
