[ummmm]

It doesn't bother me. I think calling a lady aslutoraslag is far more insulting.

[Ric.ror]

Why is there such a big issue over the 'C' word

I hate that word - I don't mind the 'f' word and the 'b' word (as in men's testicles) is my favourite swear word
I find it even more galling that a man in a position of authority uses it against a women - even more so when it's to humiliate her in front of a few hundred people - its bullying

[Ric.ror]

That's ok Bathsheba - I'm giving you best answer for a bit

[pastafreak]

Haha...the 'b' word is my fav also. I think swear words directed at women are much more "personal", as in directed at the individual.

[ummmm]

No swear word is acceptable when used in an aggressive manner.

Make the punchlines of some jokes much funnier though.

That's ok Bathsheba - I'm giving you best answer for a bit



Why?

[Ric.ror]

Well Talbot - Bathsheba may have thought I was offended by her mistaking my post for someone else. Just to show I'm not I gave her best answer for a little while - you may notice I have now given you it

Don't thank me ;-))

Bless her she was doing her job and so was the steward.

I can see both points of view here, so no winner... except Elton tried to make amends.

[-Talbot-]

Champion.

I make no apologies for hating the use of bad language - we all have (and are entitled to) our opinions and people who use bad language are, to my way of thinking inconsiderate and incredibly bad mannered. I have no respect for those who use it.

These people soon forget who put them in the public / limelight don't they.

Elton John is a well known Queen. Unfortunately Elton John sometimes thinks or imagines he is THE Queen. Let me state quite categorically H M The Queen has poise, bearing & good manners. E J would do well to learn these traits.

[Bathsheba]

I apologised because I think that acknowledging a real life friend in someone else's thread is a bit excluding for others ;)
