Buy why do we feel the need? Of course it's worldwide thing, not so much on forums though, as it is in Ireland.
Seems to be almost considered out of order to express any objections to it here if your post is anything to go by.
No you're entitled to your opinion of course but I always wonder who decided that swear words were 'bad' words? Insults, racist/sexist slurs etc I can totally agree with as being unaccpetable but who decided that the likes of the 'F' word (I won't type it out so as not to annoy you
) was a 'bad' word to say? 0 -

Well the F word and the J word are just as offensive to many people as racist or sexist words and to be honest I myself often swear and curse in everyday chat, but I try not to use them when posting because those are words most polite folks won't use in front of children, family members, etc. or even strangers because you can't be certain they won't be offended by such language unless you know them well.
I think most decent people make an effort to watch their language in the presence of clergy, nuns, etc. or indeed any people they might otherwise offend.
Who'd want to be considered offensive or presumptuous that others are as accepting of swearing as the swearer?0 -

I too tend not to curse in certain company, but frankly After Hours is hardly a forum full of shrinking violets - so I'm happy in the knowledge that the odd "fook" or the like is perfectly acceptable*

I always used to hold in the curses around my parents , even as an adult. Probably thinking I'd still be killed if I cursed, more than anything. Since my Dad died I curse like a sailor. What's even funnier now is my mother in her 70s has taken to it too, not unusual to have her tell me so and so is a bollix! We are a pack of savages:)
Back on topic my TA is craving something that can only be got at Lidl, only to find they don't have it when I get there. Also , the layout of the shop has totally changed. I could have got the bits with my eyes closed before, now I can't find anything

I'm fairly annoyed. After three days of discomfort I decided to go into the doctor last week. It just burned to piss so I was hoping it would pass. I don't have a medical card anymore. I was working when it came to renewing it and because I was 50c above minimum wage I didn't qualify for one. And then I was let go from my job the day after the deadline closed. Anyway back to the present. So I went to the doctor last week and it cost me 64.95 including the drugs. I got a phonecall earlier from the doctor saying the bacteria in my urine was resistant to the drugs they'd prescribed. So I'd to buy more drugs. I went in to pick up the prescription and it cost 20 quid. Long live the celtic tiger, eh. 20 quid to fill out a prescription.
tdlr: I've spent 90% of this week's dole on doctors and drugs.0 -

You know the type; low classical music, soft carpets so you hear no footsteps and just a dead silence.
A woman arrived with her son, who I'd say was about four.
Well he was a little horror.
He ran over to the corner right beside me and pulled out all the toys and threw them everywhere, screeching and yelping with delight.
I wouldn't mind but I was sitting RIGHT beside him.
He then proceeded to play with bricks ON MY FEET.
His mother smiled at me and I smiled tightly back at her.
The little brat then crawled under my chair and only came out when the mother told him to.
He then flung a toy phone across the room, narrowly missing the receptionist and proceeded to scream and shout.
I was sitting there fuming and vowed that if the little brat played bricks on my feet again, I was not going to be held responsible for my actions.
Luckily my mother came out of the room before I lost my rag and we were able to leave.
I know kids will be kids but brats will also be brats and it's mothers like that who don't seem to have any control over their kids OR allow them to misbehave and don't see anything wrong with it, that annoy me.
I'm sorry Fussy but I was very disappointed with your post.
I had read "I took my mother to a private eye appointment..." and thought "Bloody hell, this will be juicy, wonder who Fussy's Mam is spying on"
Then read the rest.
Note to self....read the whole thing before jumping to conclusions:D 0 -
