But does it detect ‘■■■■■’?

And how many clbuttic mistakes does its detection make?

And of course it makes all the classic errors censorbots always do, like preventing you from talking about a recipe where you have to spatchc*** a turkey, or a mechanic needing to specify the cost of repairing a w***el rotary engine.

Came to ask the same question. Left satisfied.

A working wankel rotary engine is a real swanky thing. Widow Twanky had a Mazda with one, I seem to recall.

ETA and then there’s the Dikwankwetla Party of South Africa - yes, a political party whose name starts with dikwank. Non-english languages can be a great source of juvenile fun! :wink:

Amazing idea, but “Balls”? Really?

Thank you. Speaking as someone who used to live just across the bridge from the place, Scunthorpe isn’t too bad, there are worse places. At least, there must be, somewhere.

Apparently, appreciating S*** ake mushrooms, or checking my wrist***ch, is no longer allowed in polite company.

Wasn’t all that naughty, just didn’t format properly. (But what about semprini?)

OUT !

 

I hope you aren’t eating S***ake mushrooms. Shiitake, however, can be quite tasty.

That w***el engine was really running b***s-out!

From what I’ve heard, bonny Sconny is … pretty nondescript. Not a bad place, just … words fail me. It’s a place. Played-out steel town in Lincolnshire. It can’t be all bad if it produced Iain Matthews.

And Joan Plowright. But it lacks the Mediterranean charm of Grimsby, the cosmopolitan vibrancy of Hull, and the pronunciational difficulty of Thorgumbald.
