Am I being edited?

Having only gravitated to this place a week ago (I turned fifty the same day), I have had three posts today not turn up. So along with the Warden's directions and not wanting to appear like a lurker I want to make it clear that I will make irregular but non-trolling contributions to it.

Either that or I'm hitting the wrong key occasionally.

It's the 'Aussie' filter Dello has set up on this place.

You are probably doing the same as me, pushing the forum button instead of the the send button. I do it often.

The easy way to check is that you should go back to the thread after posting. If you go to the forum you hit the wrong button

Ta. I'll check it.

Dello is very even-handed and non-interfering, qmy. I've had one post deleted and a handful of posts from others have been removed (after a post was reported during a spat). So I don't think you are being moderated.

I think taips has your answer.

Try posting "farking-qunt". I bet it gets through but as a bunch of asterisks.

I note Sc unthorpe doesn't even get through these days.

Testing - Ian Botham puts the ****** in ******.

Huzzah, the predictable 6 asterisks, no matter what cuss word you type!!

The best was the old SA board, we had interesting posts like Middles*x and Ess*x

So what did t*t and t*tt*es look like?

Do you know the day and date? Do you know where you are?

I only ask because the same fate awaits me in about 10 months ...

Well I can recommend the prostate test.

Jeez, we have a fair few crusties on this board huh?!

Nothing gramps, must be static on your hearing aid!

Dang thing, it was just the batteries running out. Coulda sworn you said something.

Nah not me...

*slips out of this thread in the hope that the crusties forget the whole converstaion in 5 minutes*

Well this crustie (WTF that is) saw his first game at Headingly when he was six and then had the misfortune to be at the same venue in '81.

Oh, the horror.

Was your debut the 65-6 series v the Poms? Dougie Walters, Bob Barber, etc?

That must still give you nightmares Bradders?

A crustie is an old person... They tend to have crustie and wrinkled skin! A llack of bowel control, smell of urine, and have very bad communication skills.

But generally likeable.

I am gaseously incontinent in your general direction.

Hence I called you a crustie Lardy.


Bradders - which NGO do you work for?

WTF! was actually the better response.

Petr Burge's test match actually. From memory he got 150 odd and brightened up an otherwise dull series.

Headingly in'81 was more memorable from me crowing for a couple of days and then having to eat humble pie.

And I have this bad habit of working for sweet FA for NGOs to assuage my guilt at my families disgusting obscene wealth.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
