Oh please. I will censor my words in the original post, but it will not change the quote. So you need to PM transvisionvamp, or a mod, or whatever in order to get every trace of the bad words removed.

I guess some people have a very low swear threshold!

The deed is now done. Please check that I have edited to your satisfaction, and if you want it changed further then supply some text to cut and paste. Thanks ever so.

I guess some people are never in the wrong.:rolleyes:

I made a mistake. Get over it. Compared to the happiness I have given people on this forum (mod: shurely shome mishtake?) it was a smallish mistake, a misjudgement, a miscalculation.

IMO anyone who is offended by some words has a problem themselves. They are all available throughout the net, in the dictionary, used in the playground, on TV, etc. You should educate your children, not try to hide the words from them. Teach them how to swear freely, intelligently, gloriously and when not to of course in certain company.

I have apologised, and edited out the offending words. Not much else I can do.

The only trouble with an AGA is that your clothes turn out all stiff and prune-like. The tumble dryer stops them creasing.:D

Plus, the smell of beef stew or hotpot on my clothes is so not me!:p

You can't ever have had an Aga, I reckon?

One of the things about them is that no smell of what's cooking escapes into the kitchen at all. So clothes never smell of food.

The best way to dry clothes in winter is to get an AGA, obviously. Not only will your pants be all toasty and warm when you put them on, but you can also cook your breakfast and warm your feet up at the same time.

If you have such a *huge* kitchen, you can obviously afford such a trifling little luxury. Far nicer than having a tumble drier rattling away.

I love Agas. My parents have a gorgeous 4 oven Aga in Kent, and it heats the water as well. In the winter, it's crowded near there - my sisters sitting on it, the cats and dog curled up near it, clothes airing, it's wonderful.

Do you allow your wife and servants to read Lady Chatterly's Lover?

There is a difference. I like mewbie's posts but you cannot compare them to works by DH Lawrence

This forum has a swear filter for a purpose and it is simply wrong to bypass it. I argue the same cause on football forums and don't like the swearing at football. It is unnecessary and if we accept it, it will become the norm.

Thank you mewbie for editing your post.

Manners maketh the man.

The smell of chicken soup simmering away on the stove emits smells though......as you should know.

Mind you, NDP, your family have lived EVERYWHERE it seems - except near you.

But you don't oven leave things simmering on the top o an aga....you lift the lids of the plates as little as possible. I made soup and stocks in the cooler of my two ovened aga when I had one.
