    It is flipping swearing........

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    (*****ed up by the word "flipping".)


    (Cracked up by the word "flipping":rotfl:.) (I'm having a joke now! But indeed... censor "crack", as it is a drug reference, so why not censor that word on every occasion regardless of context?!? At least it's consistent that way!:D The delightful Asperger consistency and complete job over things:D:D - or, at least, hopefully, my delightful consistency - don't want to suggest that everyone with Asperger's is the same as I am as that's not the case. I do know the context, really. I'm just having a joke. (Which :doh: surely therefore should bother someone - as it's precisely the funny things that usually cause offence.)

    [EDIT: This does in fact come to something related to Asperger's. Either one or nothing. The all or nothing approach. Either censor every use of a word or none at all. Black-and-white consistency with no grey area in between. I'm either black or I'm white. There is no grey area. The on-off switch of Asperger's as opposed to the dimmer switch, of variant levels of emotion, with non-Asperger's people. Either totally and absolutely offended and upset - or completely not upset at all. It's like that with "swearing" with me - I'm either totally okay and nothing at all, however much, can bother me or I have one use or implication of a single word and I'm bothered by it and words that can be used uncensored and in compliance with broadcasting rules on daytime radio do not qualify as "swearing" so do not have an impact on me - they don't bother me at all - unless, it seems (from personal past experience), they try to disguise them and put them into an offensive context in which case then, in that form, they do (if I'm caught by it when listening with other people beyond my brother only). Then I don't even find broadcasts that break the rules offensive at all, even though regulators then claim they are. Indeed, I bet people at the regulators, in their office, are laughing at the broadcast whilst writing down that it is, allegedly, "offensive" as, when they hear it, it's taken it out of the context of the original broadcast. Otherwise, how could they listen to it at all, without being caused an immediate and severe extreme physical reaction and post-traumatic stress disorder, if it really was in itself offensive? If something really is "offensive", you could not bear to be around or to stand it at all.]

    DH has one at work. Said its good for what it is, but there may well be cheaper brands that have similar features.

    Thank you Arthien,
    We can't get our head round it at the moment. It seems perfect for what we want but how on earth you choose which unit for the size room you have, I haven't got a clue:o

    I need to read more:)
