Soo if we did meet up Savvy you would be ok with me swearing as it is expected behaviour for me.

I have sworn in front of a bank cashier, not at one though that is an important difference.

Helicopter has finally stopped going over looking for the driver. Police rang us. The owner has just reported it stolen. What a coincidence! hmm

Really?:rotfl: Depends what word you said I suppose. (I will not ask.)

I think I heard the post office clerk mutter a swear once though. Wish she'd said something more "severe" as that would have been funnier!:rotfl:

I'd be absolutely fine with swearing - I'd be okay with it on this forum tbh and don't really see why we should have filters or anything - they never achieve anything really, they don't prevent offensive messages getting through - they replace some words with other material that now comes to mean them anyway whilst failing to prevent more 'severe' words from getting through untouched, they make innocent phrases carry a worse meaning by changing text inappropriately regardless of context - though I guess some people don't want to see (what they or society in general considers to be) swearing (I have a message for them but the forum wouldn't let me print it;) - ends with "'em":D:rotfl) - but I guess the website owners can choose what they exhibit and it's not a free speech area - so I guess we just deal with this !!!!!! concept such as a forum filter:rotfl:. I'm over 18 - look, I can!:D Why are we not allowed to use on this forum words that can be, and are, transmitted uncensored on daytime radio? Kick a*s. See what I mean! Avenging Angels anyone - that was played on daytime radio several times! (The reason I do that, rather than let the forum go with complete exclamations, is so that it is completely clear so that you aren't pondering over it for seconds on end...) Maybe I should get a warning for evading the filter on "the A word":D, whilst everything else in my post is obviously fine:rotfl:!

I manage to write out on here, nowadays, things I can't even physically bring myself to say - except - and yes I'm a solitary swearer - there are such people - when I'm at home or entirely alone or only my brother is here. Every other word at home is swear sometimes - it's great!:D To clarify, I'm never shouting at anyone at home. Normal conversation, best place;):)

I really don't know why, when 1% of people truly are offended these days - and everyone hears them all on the television at night and no-one at all really considers that there is no context in which they are okay, nearly everyone accepts they are okay in at least some contexts, don't seem to be offended on every occasion of their use, so is inconsistent about when they are caused offence and are not, yet we pretend to children that the words aren't okay and yet they are for us? It's just a total historical creation, a creation of society and rather useless that's left me with illness - though I don't really suffer much in the foreground with it nowadays, it is underlying somewhere in me still though even if rather dormant. Unless anyone is offended so frequently and to the point of developing clinical depression and physical illness, then I don't accept that you have been caused as much offence as me (and therefore impliedly that your objection is less valid than mine - which will doubtless cause someone offence. However, I do not care!:p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)

I'd be completely okay with you swearing, any level, any frequency at all, and completely without limit, except:

(1) if it was in a public place and other people were around who were not also our friends and you were doing so loudly, particularly if the other people were young children or elderly.

(2) I'm not sure I'd have wanted to be with you at the bank (but it would depend on which word it was - I wouldn't be bothered if it were the word "damn" for instance).

That said, I was in Boots once and, all of a sudden, two people ran to the front of the queue effin and blinding (and yes they were) and I didn't have any problem with that! I was also in a pub when someone swore at the bar-staff - again, I wasn't caused any offence. Though I started to feel uncomfortable when the bar-staff started to eject the person. It was their reaction that made the environment uncomfortable to me. Clearly in a pub you can say it - but not shout at to someone across the room?:huh: I don't know - I was talking about friends doing that - not them doing it to the staff - but. presumably, if someone did I would be personally offended and yet I wasn't when that situation I've described actually occurred? I don't know - it's illogical as to when I feel okay or do not.

I had a group of young men from a well-known national organisation swearing as they walked into Morrisons the other week. Again, no problem - Fs and everything (not sure why it isn't offensive for me to print it in that way). Presumably they do so as they walk out of their car and across the car-park either because they don't notice I'm there (which is possible as I am autistic and give out no subliminal body language communications) or because I'm of the same generation as them and they (rightly) assume that I won't be caused offence.

I don't even accept it's necessary a prohibition against "at". I'd be fine even if you swore at me! Obviously, where we'd discussed in advance (or maybe we don't have to), I knew your intentions and that you weren't being actual aggressive (as opposed to maybe pretending to be) and only if no-one else was present that might make it a problem for me (such as a person, especially female I'm sorry, from an older generation). Anyway, I don't agree with the concept of "swearing" - it's such an outdated idea from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.

I wonder if TM has fallen asleep and will wake up with red or brown sauce in her hair. :whistle:

DS1: think I'll come home tonight then go into work from you then go home then come back to you. Makes no sense other than he must be out somewhere that is nearer to get back here than go south.

Then he suggests I live the door key under the mat. Translates to be a request to pick him up very late from the station. Grr!

I know someone who fell asleep with a bed picnic and woke up with sweet and sour sauce all over his face and in his ear :rotfl::rotfl:

I can't even find my list to know if it's complete, well I know it's not yet, no satisfaction ticking things off today.

Mr TS is a mind map man, I can never make head or tail of them.

No elbowing for my posh pork pies they were on pre order from the butcher along with the beef. Mr TS picked them up before work earlier.

I've just got up and made a whole new set of lists

There is 3 pages of list - how much veg to prep, what I need to do tomorrow and which room needs what doing to it

Do I feel better having done it? Yes I do because my mind isn't racing so much now, and no because it seems like I still have loads to do, even though I probably don't, it just looks like it :rotfl:

If you hadn't said "his" I might have thought you had. :rotfl:

That must have been one sticky mess if it's anything like our local the sweet and sour sauce sets by the next day. :eek:

So Savvy, it's censored swearing that gets you rather than the actual words?

If you listened to Eminem CD for example you'd be fine because the swear words are there, but if you heard the same song but radio edit, it would get you?

Could you watch celebrity juice with swearing in all its glory so to speak, but not Jeremy Kyle because it's all bleeped out?

Yes, I know the song Gangsta Trippin' radio version is not the word and it sounds like "fuff" rather than [you know what]. However, problematically (for me anyway) is that it is not "fuff" being said in a normal way - fuff, fluff, smuff etc., but, instead, is an electronically altered sound that makes clear enough for me what I think it might be too close to. Anyway, I felt (this back in 1996) I would not feel okay if I played that song when my parents could hear it. I've switched it off everytime and if to this day it came on I would continue to do so. However, I watch films with the actual 'proper' (or improper?:think::rotfl:) words in them, and with my family, parents, no problem! I think, nowadays, I'd be okay with the uncensored version with my father around (my mum is no longer here sadly) but that disguised version in the radio does make it problematic. I know - it's only "fuff" - but the first half of that makes it too close for me.

I wasn't sure at the time that it actually did mean [you know what] and still wasn't completely sure up to about two years ago. However, I have found out now that it did mean that and the original did say it. Unfortunately, in electronic form - I'd be okay with someone just saying, in a normal voice, "fuff" as that's nowhere near - it's just too close for comfort with other people around to me.

3 pages. :eek: I had all mine on one page although none of the cooking was on it that's on Mr TS's mind map organised into the different meals like a military operation. :eek:

Most of the time my lists are in my head which is why I forget things.

I will try and find it in the morning I think it was still attached in the pad and when he was tidying his "side" I think he packed it away. As I am not really a list person so it has not made me panic losing it. I just wanted the satisfaction of ticking things off.
