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.

    • As someone who's gradparents on both sides were immigrants, and someone old enough to remember my parents fear and anxiety over Enoch Powell I am deeply distubed by the rise of the far right, anti immigration and general xenophobia I am witnessing in the UK and in the tabloid press. seeing the cross of St George flag makes me shudder...rightly or wrongly I read it as a pro white anti anyone not of pure white christian origins. Within immigrants this country would be sc**wed.  I was born here but sadly I don't feel particularly at home here any longer.
    • Starmer was in the news today saying he flies a St. George's flag in his flat in Downing Street.   Make of that what you will. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/keir-starmer-is-downing-streets-david-brent/ "Whenever Starmer tries to appear normal, he ends up sounding like a mixture of David Brent and the acid bath murderer. As he was asked about the proliferation of flags across the country, there came some absolutely classic examples of the genre. ‘I’m a supporter of flags’, he began. ‘I always sit in front of the Union Jack’, he insisted. Always? I can just imagine a flunky following the PM around – to his local, on trains, as he goes to the lavatory, just to ensure he is always in the presence of a Union Jack. Determined to make things even weirder, Starmer informed Chorley that he had a St George’s Flag up in his flat, as if he was trying to entice him upstairs in order to kill and eat him."
    • I'm sure Scooby and the gang would be aiming that book at the current left/far left brigade! lol!
