Well said, PR, but frankly your bastardisation (is that a swear word) of my beautiful nomenclature has just crossed the line!!! Joking apart, if you react to swear words negatively you are giving people an enormous amount of power over you. If someone notices you go ballistic when they say a particular word they know exactly how to push your buttons. Unnessecary and repetitive use of swear words is dreary as is the unnessecary and repetitive use of any word, so I do get irritated by people who say the likes of "I went down the f***ing pub to get a f***ing pint and some f***ing f***er knicked me f***ing lighter!" intensely annoying - all due to the unimaginative nature of the conversation, not the particular words used.

t w a t now THAT word just makes me laugh. And when someone calls me that, I just laugh and that then makes them angrier and call me something else. As someone once said, "Sticks and Stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me..." No, it wasn't me.

    • Hi fellow forum-ers,  I am in need of getting out of a (mutually) toxic relationship with my husband, but cannot afford to buy or rent anything half decent in the area. I would like for the children not having to change schools and friendship group, their training club etc to maintain some level of stability through the storm. I am looking for a house share with someone in the same position as me who is willing to share rent/bills/chores and... life! Or, maybe, a not so young person who needs help with cleaning, washing, shopping and cooking and has a couple of bedrooms to spare and can do with some extra cash. My children are 17, 14 and 10 well behaved and used to be respectful around people's houses (we're seasoned home exchangers). The eldest is in a fishing school (don't ask) outside London and only comes home for the weekend. The other 2 are into sports, so often training or in competitions during the week/weekend.  If you are interested or know someone who is, please DM me. I know it's a long shot, but I hope somewhere out there someone is able to help us. Also, if you're being through this and can offer advice, that is also welcomed. In case you're wondering, my husband is disabled and won't leave the house (and it seems unfair that we ask him to). 
    • Hi, My automatic nissan juke, much to my shock, having only done 50,000 miles needs a new gear box. Trying to decide to replace gear box or buy a second hand car - always thought Japanese cars were reliable and guess I have just been unlucky. Any advice greatly received - to buy a second hand car or replace gear box. If buying second hand would one suggest dealership or private garage ?? Thank you.
