    :eek: all I can say is I am glad i didn't watch The Silence with family :o. A few racy scenes in there that would make uncomfortable viewing in polite.company :o.

    Anon

    Really?:shocked: I'm surprised - I wouldn't have any problem watching anything of up to and including 18 rated material with my family. As long as my grandmother isn't visiting, which doesn't happen anyway. (There's nothing between me and my grandmother - we get along absolutely fine - we just, in practice, don't really visit each other.) I haven't seen it so that's even without seeing what was in it - but I just don't have any problem. I just don't know what "polite" company means these days either. So, in fact, and sorry as ever to correct things on a pedantic point of accuracy again but, whatever those "racy" scenes were, they would not make uncomfortable viewing at all - and, as usual, I'm reading your post on a literal, detail again: this time, here, I'm concentrating on the use of the word "would":D. The scenes wouldn't make uncomfortable viewing for me, although they clearly would (or did) for you - so would be uncomfortable for some people (implies...but not others).

    What is "polite company"? (...And why is it considered to be "polite"? And what, by contrast, is "impolite"?) I'd be interested to know, although it's nothing to do with money-saving. It's just a thing that I find intriguing - and different people seem to have such vastly different views that I no longer have any knowledge of what it means. I'm sure any definition won't be comprehensive and complete and totally exhaustive anyway, and will always miss something out (as everyone always forgets something) so that I will never be satisfied with any definition even if given one and will take issue with it, on one point or another, whatever definition anyone ever says. And, if you try and clarify it to address my point, I'll then come up with some other pedantic issue over a single word that you've then used to describe it:rotfl:. And so on. Just never satisfied. I think the problem is the English language:rotfl: . All words are defined by reference to other words, so any other words then used need definition for me that is then in further words that also then need definition or I dispute them on one ground if not another - and often on several different grounds - and then no other words will do as I also query/question/challenge them:rotfl::rotfl:. It never ends! Or, actually, it ends with the other person shutting down the correspondence after I've queried what they've said yet again - and then of course I've won as they had no answer to my question:D:(:rotfl:. People just cannot provide consistent answers that address absolutely every possible point that could ever be made(:rotfl:) and, at some point, a stage is reached at which they just cannot provide an answer and/or contradict themselves. If someone can't (or won't, or chooses not to) provide an answer to me, then I must have said something right and hit the nail on the head:D.

    I also never understand - all these warnings of "distressing" scenes that cause no distress at all to me, whilst things that they never say are "distressing" are, it seems, very likely to cause me distress(!). Even when, objectively, away from the situation at some much later time, I don't think that they ought to cause me distress at all (but they in fact do).

    Anyway, I was just arriving briefly at this thread to say that I haven't really even got to the M list at all from Wednesday - I have now deleted the Dove Cream product though (but that's all I've done). It happens sometimes - I'm procrastinating and some things get put onto the back burner and maybe I just want to do other thing at the moment, but I will try for it at some point later today... hopefully will get to it at some point - it's usually when I've got fewer things to update that I just keep putting things off:(. I could just get and do it now - I don't know why, but I'm not starting it and once I get started I won't stop! It's always the start point that is the 'difficult' thing. But, anyway, rather than start it, I'm going now:wall:(:rotfl:) - so there you are:rotfl::rotfl:!

    Bye:wave:!:rotfl::)
