Mr Apples 1,407 Posted March 29, 2022 It does seem remarkable that some people can get away with continually spouting genuinely offensive garbage on some threads, but a few silly and essentially good-natured threads to get through the boredom of the international break are taken down. Still, priorities, eh? 🤷♂️ Apples 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted March 29, 2022 It's not really monitoring more censorship, and clearly carried out by a person without the wit to be emboldened with the power of censorship in the first place. It was all just harmless (very) silliness during a void weekend, which paled into insignificance when pitted against some of the nonsense allowed on here on a regular basis.

In the same way Apple, and Steak & Kidney are both very much pies, but also very different types of pie Edited March 29, 2022 by AJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Angry 2,019 Posted March 29, 2022 In America a flan seems to be a crème caramel-and as it is of Spanish origin, the correct pronunciation has it rhyming with lawn-which I remember was how it was pronounced in Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
