I do think it is sad when some people do not consider what the truth is before speaking, but there is a balance to be had between being truthful and offending someone. I still aspire to tell the truth, but I also aspire to not offend... I don't get it right all the time. I can only gain an impression of how hard it is for you from your posts. :A

Oh, totally agree!

Hmmm... I don't know whether people don't consider what is true before speaking (and, as mentioned, there may well be different versions of the 'truth' that are each quite valid, whether or not they are the same as your truth). Some people may well consider, or 'know', the truth and yet consciously decide to lie.

There's also a difference, is there perhaps not, between outright lies and 'white lies'. If someone is lying over a significant matter, that's a little different to something that maintains 'childhood innocence' (a non-existent concept anyway:D;):rotfl:) and creates an air of mystique for children at a certain time of year. That's a 'good' thing, it's an experience for kids and enjoyable. Later the truth is out and it doesn't much matter than, technically, what we all did was a "lie".

But outright lying (not talking about a bit of gildering) on a job application or lying and deceving the police, or something like that, I think the boundary has to be drawn there and that's something that is unacceptable!

So whats the difference between a sleeping bag and a bivvy bag please FC??

I think a bivvy bag is warmer? And it has a sort of hood on it. You're supposed to be able to sleep outside in them without any other cover/shelter. Never tried one myself

Now. That, yet another obsession (or former obsession). Would prompt me to ask "what do you mean by 'swear'?". And ask it - and you'll find people all have different opinions and views as to what that means. There's former research by the Broadcasting Standards Commission that does not show 100% of people saying every word in their list is a "swearword". So, clearly, the whole concept is completely vague. Well, perhaps not completely (not literally "completely").

Imagine though if I had got that question - and asked for them to clarify (because, folks, yes, according to research, none of you in total i.e. society, actually tells me precisely what that term "swearing" means and are so inconsistent (?:rotfl::rotfl:) and unclear in your approach as to make it impossible to tell what it means or whose definition, or why, might be applied or being used).

I wonder if that question, and my hypothetical response, would have seen me get the job or not.:):)

(I bet you're not supposed to ask for clarification there, even if you honestly don't fully and completely in every respect understand it. (And how could you answer a question you didn't fully understand?) So, I expect it's expected that you'd pretend (a form of 'lying' in its widest definition) and answer as if you knew.)

Oh...:doh::doh:, it was you that asked the question (as you tell me so and I have no reason to doubt that). I'd never even have been confident enough to ask it!

Which, if it had been a question asked by an interviewer of me - or anybody - would have been totally pointless and given no reliable answer anyway, if (as it highly likely) the interviewer and interviewee both had different views of the meaning of "to swear" anyway and each was using their own terms of reference. (They'd be, and are, talking about different things to each other!:D (Interviewer's view of what constitutes "swearing" and interviewee's view, which are most unlikely, judging from the research, to be the same.))

Whilst I accept that swearing is a broad overview of a number of words, it is just that and not a specific 'can people use a, b and c words in the office and in what context is it acceptable'. Everyone's line is in an individual place, and often changes due to a number of factors. It must be frustrating trying to figure it out when it keeps changing.

Question for FC's son. Or perhaps for me, pedantically to split hairs over:o.

So... where does my last post leave us??!?;):D:rotfl::rotfl:

I think it leaves us posting some shopping comparisons...:D:D:D:D (and perhaps if not wanting to move off-topic... or on-topic depending on your view!).

Sorry, I went to the loo and made a cuppa.

Back now!

You've got a greenhouse haven't you?

In days long gone my OH on occasion ( thankfully it wasn't that regularly) would go out with his army mates and get rather drunk. He was a total PIA when he was and prone to being sick :mad:

I put a bivvy bag in the shed for him and locked the door. He was warm and dry, no one had to listen to drunken ramblings and my carpets stayed clean

I like this idea, I have a shed.... may try it with DS2

:D:D:D:D:D:D
