I hope thats in jest Mick... we've got to respect most (I'm not going to say all, theres always one...) views here, and there are several workplaces that do allow browsing of the web during lunch break etc, but come down hard with anything that looks dubious. For a simple skin tone recorgnition, those pictures have women large enough that it's going to tip the skin colour percentage count very high, which triggers alarm bells.

We've all been picked up before, and I'm sure we all will again, just have to let it ride sometimes. You know I don't mind most things, but I've had a sys admin moan because of images on a forum I viewed once, so I know the position, and its not a good one to be in when you think what you are viewing is trustworthy.

Everybody concerned kiss and make up.

EDIT: Just seen your lol at the end of the post, in which case above can most probably be ignored!!!

Ah that is okay, even I don't know what is walrus *goes to google hack hack hack* Ooh, that animal is called walrus, you learn new word every day

They did already lock original thread after I did post this pic there as response to fluffy cats:

However two things are not related, lol.

Yes, I think that some section in offtopic that has warning that it may contain boss offensive material would be good idea, there are many funny things that can be posted and enjoyed when we know that area is only to visit from homes and not when wife/girlfriend is watching

I think it was NWA who first really went to town on the word "Nigger", and is used to sublime effect in "F*ck The Police" which is one of my favorite tracks of all time, and not because I have a particular dislike of the Police (Although I would quite happily turn an AK on the band fronted by Sting

). Social commentators suggested that it was an example of young urban black men taking ownership of a word which had traditionally been used against them. It is after all, just a word - to be able to take that word and appropriate it into their own language and context they basically rendered it harmless. It was all part of the rejection of victimhood, and sounded badass too.

I have found them to be ageist , fatist ( I'll give you fecking Manatee ) and worst of all Golfist lol

Guilty - it's all down to the time when a Golf MkII left me stranded on a Breen Sands with the tide coming in, it was getting dark and the Mrs was heavily pregnant.

I was glad to see the back of that car... Never been able to look at one in the same way since

Who wants to be on Breen Sands in a front wheel drive car anyway

I basically drove completely fishtailing from the entrance to where me and some mates parked up, all he could manage was a measly 2 metre handbrake at the end - there were troughs of sand behind the 360

Definitely. A nice clear NSFW in the thread's title would be a great help.

Speaking of Golfs, pity the poor 2002 TDi that drove into the back of my Redline on Friday. I have a slightly bent bumper. She will probably need a new bonnet and nearside wing

Thanks Pete. I've no idea how she managed it. We'd been waiting at a junction to turn left, I pulled out once it was clear and she drove into me.

She was hurrying to get a child to school. Doesn't seem like a particuarly good excuse for driving like a pranny to me.

Yes some soccer mum syndrome or something. There are too many drivers that can't drive.

Take up the offer Cornholio! Bumper trims are among the long list of discontinued 300 items, be they blue, red or chrome ... Found out after a Fiesta backed into my 300 last December ...
