littlesprite Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Even better than that JM, I go on a football site (punishment for supporting Gillingham) and one of the teams in our league is Scun Thorpe, notice the space because if you spell it correctly it stars the name out, now you would think a forum for league one football could make a special rule for one of it's own teams.

Timbo Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 It just goes to show Mike that as both of us no longer live in Scunny we are not responsible for placing the unmentionables in the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 How strange it is to have the auto censor jump in when referring to an abbreviated Richard! Hardly an offensive word. I shall have to remember that magical terminology...'an abbreviated Richard'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitrunner Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I used to work with an American who's name was Richard but he and everyone else referred to him as Dick - not a problem there. But his surname was Seamen and being American he couldn't understand the childish smirks he got. These are all true by the way (you cant make it up) - Same company I worked with a Danish guy called Bent (pronounced as it is written unlike the Swedish Bengt). He walked up to one of our senior managers and his wife at a company party and introduced himself as such - "Hi, I'm Bent". Got a strange look for some reason. Last one - girl in class at school, register was always initial, surname. Her name was Paulette Nuss. You can work it out. Wonder if any of this gets through the censor?
