There's a 3 min delay on the feed so no reason why they can't edit swearing out.Derek27 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 31, 2023 10:31 amThe word "shit" emerged in the Covid inquiry. Anchor woman had to interrupt to apologise and advise that they're not in control of the language used at the hearing. What century is this?
They could at least have a delay so they can edit the contents before transmission.

The century where swearing as unfortunately become the norm, usually just a warning that the next word will be a noun rather than considered impact. Fine on programs you choose to watch but the news is an exception that ought to maintain certain standards and be appropriate for anyone.
My favourite ever swearer was Brian Sewell, huge range and beautifully positioned. A man who understood it's an art form not just a substitute for a lack of vocabulary.
What's the point in covering a hearing if you don't know what they're saying? Right now, the Sky presenter is talking over Cummings' voice to apologise about swearing, for the umpteenth time!ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Tue Oct 31, 2023 1:01 pmThe century where swearing as unfortunately become the norm, usually just a warning that the next word will be a noun rather than considered impact.

He's probably called his former boss a buffoon or bum monkey.

Ahh Sky News, yeah very touchy feely. The BBC Parliament channel usually shows these things unapologetically and R4 does in the late slots. They probably insert extra swearing on GBeebies.

I love the way those are always minted in somewhere like Tristan Da Cuhna. They make it look like Great British Bulldog and Roast Beef currency every pensioner should be proud to own.
Value wise, you'd get the weight.-

Derek, I've drawn a picture of David Attenborough on a fiver.... Yours for 8 quid if you fancy it
There's a new coin with King Charles facing the right - all the others have him facing the left, only 4,999 coins are minted and it's only £39!ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2023 6:44 pmDerek, I've drawn a picture of David Attenborough on a fiver.... Yours for 8 quid if you fancy it
Instead of the King roaming the Commonwealth apologising about what we've done to them, they should just print the apology on bank notes and circulate them.

Agreed and a shame. I guess cricket has surrendered to 'professionalism'. Clearly he didn't think the Bangladeshis would stoop as low as the Aussies.
I wonder what the umpires would have answered if he had asked them "I have a problem with my helmet, I don't want to be timed out, will you allow me to replace it or do I have to play without a helmet?".
I must admit, in primary school we were always watching the batsman in case he accidentally strayed from his crease so we could get him out.firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2023 10:22 amAgreed and a shame.

But that lack of sportsmanship has no place in the professional game.
