Nora had it coming.... but the kids didn't need to cop in at 8:24!

And might I add that the day that cars and light banter become too heavy for the kids is the day that I pack up my lawn bowls set for fear of skimmed knees.........

.....and undoubtedly the Fs have it. Nice work sillygoose

Signed up twenty minutes ago, posted some random stuff and then came here to defend the OP. Anyone would think you were the same person!

This debate could be easily solved by watching it on iplayer and selecting to watch it with subtitles.

I would do it myself, but can't watch Clarkson as he is a (text removed by MSE Forum Team)

You know, muchly, i believe sillygoose has ear cleaning appartatus.... understandable the beginning of the word is unintelligable, but that which follows is certainly the tail end of the letter F - and not the "ku" sound that would trail a C

I have bought him up to understand that people that swear a lot are not very intelligent or educated with a limited vocabulary.

Then you have given him a very distorted view of the world. I don't use that kind of language and hope my son won't either, but I think it's far worse to make out that those who do are somehow inferior to those who don't which is a completely stupid view. I've heard that language from very highly educated, intelligent and professional people. What I've taught my son is that there's a time and a place for swearing, bad language etc. Normal conversation is definitely not the time nor place, but in a extreme situation of stress, fright, shock, etc., then it's not a sign of lack of intelligence to swear!

You are actually agreeing with my sentence you quoted for the purpose of disagreeing with!

As I said I have taught that people that swear a LOT....

I don't swear much either, but I do in context, suitable contexts are rare so obviously I don't swear a lot.

People that swear a lot out of context are inferior.

I have also heard a lot of intelligent and well educated people swear a lot, they are inferior in a different way but are doing it for the same reasons stupid people do it. To try to add weight to what they say because they lack impact (or confidence) in their use of normal words. That is an inferior ability.

"What I've taught my son is that there's a time and a place for swearing, bad language etc. Normal conversation is definitely not the time nor place, but in a extreme situation of stress, fright, shock, etc., then it's not a sign of lack of intelligence to swear!"

Couldn't agree more!!

Ofcom are a complete waste of space of a quango.

A bucket of dog turds could do a better job than them.
