His book 'The Seven Words You Can't Say on Televison' is an interesting overview on the subject.

“The sort of twee person who thinks swearing is in any way a sign of a lack of education or a lack of verbal interest is just a flipping* lunatic.”

Really was just luck, OH got a call Friday afternoon, so I was scrabbling round for a babysitter.
I know there has been lots of bad local press about cost etc but he did just over 1 and half hours and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The grumpy old git even smiled a few times and had a bit of rapport with the audience. A great and unexpected nite out.0 -
Morning Petulia , I must admit that when I see your used ID I have fond memories of a band from way back that went by the name of Throbbing Gristle .
Anyway , have a good day and thanks for the memories
Cheers .
Sorry for the late reply, I've just been catching up and enjoying the discussion about different perspectives.
fourp I borrowed my username from a Terry Pratchett Discworld character. Petulia is an expert at Pig-Boring, which is the most humane way of slaughtering an animal prior to sausage and bacon-hood. She simply chooses her animal, and then talks to it in a most earnest monotone voice about trivial things of parochial importance until its eyes close and it slumps to one side, having by then given up the will to live.
Though I had a giggle when I looked it up in the urban dictionary :eek:"We have to be kind because everyone is fighting a great, great battle" - Sir Richard Attenborough

This is so funny:eek::eek:
You've witnessed the glory of the !!!! Face Soap, now witness the squeaky-clean Fanny Face Soap! Yes ladies, no more pulling curly-whirly hairs from your cheek, with the Fanny Face Soap you can keep your downstairs washing regime separate from your face wash.Why not twin our Fanny Face Soap with the Fanny Face Towel? Ideal for 5 star B&B's, for impressing important guests and when your mom is staying over, why not create a hygienic ambiance in your bathroom with our Fanny Face and !!!! Face Soaps? Each face of the soap clearly depicts the area in which it is to be used, it is your own silly fault if you wonder why you are spitting fuzz.
I only typed in soap and glory:o
Good idea for all those having the MIL visiting over Christmas though:rotfl::rotfl:
How did I just know this would tickle your fancy?0 -

Well I have some exciting news I finally have a photobucket account.
I have not got a pic of tonight's glass on it yet but I do have my bathroom pic which is probably long overdue. :rotfl: But I am stuck how to get it on here.
I'm following HC's guide but it all seems a bit different not sure if I have done it right so far.0
