Dear People,


It would seem that some forumites have made a 'formal complaint' against my use of the above in some of my postings.


(Swearing with the use of profanity is not big and it is not cleaver. Although it can sometimes be the only language that is understood across the board... as well as being a bit of a ruddy good laugh. But that's just me.)


I would like to apologies to those forum members whom I have upset.


I shall make sure I edit my future posts for all verbose and invective (thank you RosieH) language thoroughly before clicking the 'post message' button.


I thank you.


Yours MW74

(keeping the world madder since 1974)

tell them all they can fucking well cunt off the bunch of fucking fuckfaces


haha, realise the swear translation doesn't recognise that last word - do you think the administrator will get me


(oh and burn the crocs, really. how can you use a judiciously placed "c*nt" when your feet are encased in day-glo plastic?)

Yes it is easy to offend.


The other day I mentioned 'sweating like a rapist' I got all kinds of stick, so I'll not mention that again.


I didn't even swear, and I upset somebody.


Jah lush thought it was using an abbreviated version, that rankled with people, and the full quotation is 'sweating like a paedophile on a school bus', which was very courageous of Jah to put me right;-)


I am very pleased I no longer offend any edf readers.:))

Thanks Jah.

i have just fallen off my perch with laughter!

It is odd how some sear words take on a life all of their own.


Thus "Tw*t" is concidered rather mild, whereas "C*nt" is concidered beyond the pale; yet both words refer to a lady's front bottom.


The male genitalia seem fair game, indeed "Cock" has been popularised by James May on Top-Gear (a lifestyle programme specialising in Green issues and alternative forms of transport - for those who do not have TVs and indeed a statement which could be described as "Cock" in this context).


I quite like "Cock" but dont like "C*nt" and yet feel drawn to the fairer sex, I am so confused.


P.S. Interestingly I now discover that bh "Tw*t" and "C*nt" require an asterix to be show on the Forum, whereas "Cock" does not. Sexist!!

But, cock as in 'cock and bull' isn't rude. And cock has for a long time been used as in 'cockney sparra' which is no ruder than 'me old china'. And cock is generally used as the male equivalent of hen and also is not rude. It's quite rare in everyday language to use cock perjoratively as in penis.


Whereas Le Coq Sportif is rude cos it's French and everything they do is wrong.


[And my old English teacher would be turning in her grave.]

For pure poetic use of swearing in all its wonderful hues you have to check out deadwood swearing and larry Davids cursing masterclassprofanities opera...should brighten your day. I'm such a luddite I dont actually know how to give you the direct link, go the extra yard and enter 'deadwood swearing' and "profanities opera" into the you tube search engine and your reward shall be a rich one. Oh, and maybe someone could let me know how to add a link...its getting embaressing now.

Well done for apologising Maddie, can't say I was ever on the direct receiving end of your invective, and I can't say that I've ever noticed you being overly sweary. But maybe you were and I missed it, I'm a dopey c@nt cometimes.


Oh and if you want to use a phrase to express discomfort you could always employ 'sweating like a bankrobber' or for greater emphasis 'shaking like a hound shitting peach pits'.


Edited for spelling like a cock.

I really don't have an issue with great and profound swearing.

Including the CUNextTuesday word, which I use now and again myself with no embarrassment.

If everyone swore it would lose its ability to offend.

And the sooner that happens the better for all of us.


And anyone who thinks otherwise are a bunch of Cun*s.


But to read it regularly or even occasionally on a Forum? Hmm. Let's think.

Mmm.






Nahhhh phuckit that don't bother me either.

Context is all. I don't mind swearing one bit. Can make you laugh or make you scared. It can make you sit up and listen. I love humour, and I get upset by hatred. If the profanities are linked to humour i embrace them - but if they are connected to hatred I don't like it.

    • Hope all the ‘high streets for people’ events went well! Very short notice probably for people living in the area and on a very hot day!  James McAsh just doesn’t know what to do next with Southwark Council Tax payers money. He advocates the few streets in the area that has a bus service and then shuts the routes down! Very annoying for people who want to go about their daily business and have already had restrictions brought in by McAsh. 
    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.
