Blue [-Censored-] rescued from Ipswich garden may become 'a friend for life'

[#1]

Just for a change - some good news.  🤗

Thread title and link defeated by over-zealous auto-censoring.  🙄

It's on the BBC website.

[#4]

Indeed. So how come you can say [-Censored-] and I can't?

@198kHz   He used a picture  ! ! ! ...

AKA  an edited screen grab as a "png" file...

[#6]

Nope it is blocked for me.

There is one town I'd better not mention, as it has a naughty word at the start of it.

@198kHz 

A picture paints a thousand words (or something like that)  

[#8]

Seems a right silly thing to censor the name of a type of bird, assuming Bluetit isn't also censored, despite being a grammatical aberration...

[#9]

@RobPN Ah, thanks for the info. So that's how one avoids the swear filter. I may have to report you.  😂

Meanwhile, the article can be found on the BBC News site - enter "blue itt (anag)" into the search box.

Just type Cyanistes caeruleus; it just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

[#11]

@Jonpe   So do, Maltesers, and Mint Imperials ! !

But what's with sherbet lemons?

I bought a packet supposed to be a taste of old style sweets but where was the sherbet centre. It was just solid with sherbetty specks throughout. Nothing like a proper sherbet lemon.

I don't know how old you are @billnotben, but our perception of taste changes as we get older.  Things I used to find tasty no longer are, and the things my grandfather used to eat, and I didn't like, are now very nice.

That's so true but what is it with sherbet?

I'd love a sherbet fountain with the licorice straw and real sherbet lemons that, if you had a mind to, you could crack open and tip the sherbet centre out.

They were the kids equivalent of a chocolate liqueur.
