I actually wrote a fairly long post at work today – a serious one, too – only I got rather busy and forgot to mail it to myself for uploading.
D’oh.
So instead, here’s an email sent to me from Andy (blog currently borked) as he was satin a cybercafe in Stansted airport:
“Access to the page:

What the cunty **** do those ***** have to complain about regarding my shitty, motherfucking, cum-stained, CHILD-PORN-filled, arse-buggering site? Bollocks, I say.
It’s called Overprotective Proxy Syndrome (well it is in my tiny little mind anyway). They’re the kind of proxy that won’t let you visit sites like, say, visitessex.co.uk because there’s ‘sex’ in the URL.
If they were people they’d have you arrested for running around stark naked under your clothes.
Borked?
wash your mouth out you dirty mosh, you! *points and shakes finger* You should feel ashamed! Fancy having such a rude and offensive website that some people can’t even view it. :p
But I suppose in some ways thats quite an achievement, well done *pats you on the back*
Keep up the good, though obviously 😉 highly expletive work.
dcsun4 – I’ve seen umpteed message boards that bounce posts about Scunthorpe and Lightwater Valley for the same reason (look closely, people)
Chris – buggered, ******, FUBAR, shafted, twatted, arsed, bollocked, knackered…
Caz – expletive? What the cunty **** bollocks is that meant to mean?
right word, but I think i used it slightly in the wrong context, which is a good enough excuse as to why i shouldnt have to function in the morning. I just dont work!
I am broken, please call back later :p
Only slightly on topic but I at one job we had a partner company for a product we were producing. Their company name was Anker Systems.
Their web URL:
http://www.anker.com
Say it fast. They just seemed to sigh every time we said it and pissed outselves laughing.
Just took a look for old times sake. It seems that http://www.anker.co.uk is no more.
Or thier site is down
Caz – called you but just getting a BT message so I assume you’re still broke.
Chris – anker.com redirects to a site in German. Which is probably about masturbation. With poop. You know what these Germans are like.
Heh, it was supposed to be .co.uk
I should proof read before I post.
I got the same thing when I tried to update my own site in Birmingham Airport. Then I tried to access the Big Blogger site and it told me I couldn’t access it because “some of the links contain inappropriate content.” WHAT????
One company I worked for used to have a newsfeed on their intranet where you got the footie results every monday morning, but they also had automatic censorship software so that the one result would always come up for S****horpe United. Which kind of has the opposite effect, changing something totally harmless into something which makes you think of an obscenity.
Chris – I wish our bloody helpdesk staff would. Half of the requests that make their way down here are harder to translate from fluent gobshite than they are to fix once we work out what the hell they’re on about.
Alan – isn’t censorship just ********* wonderful? Look at it this way – you could live in China. No web pages allowed unless they’re all about how great China is. Kinda dull, really.
you should be proud. that’s quite an honor… 😉
I work hard. But I’d like to thank my mother, my father, the cast and crew…
Look on the bright side, you were worried that Saudis didn’t appreciate your humour – but in reality their government blocks you! Yay!
