Bit pathetic tbh, there was only 1 silly comment out of the full thread tbh, and I thought it was good how both sets of fans discussed a serious issue...

Cough. Cough. Cough, at the moment. Anyone know a good cough medicine? Got some Benylin and it's rubbish. It is out of date, mind.

Ano vanished of the face of the earth like it never even existed

I never use the word shag either (presuming that is the word you are referring too_..however pmh used it today, but it is hardly a swear word is it...You sure you have never used a swear word




In the past I have used B****s and it was taken off because of the implication, what is that about!!

There is every chance it will become sub-justice.
Just playing it safe.

Dominic Byrne? He's in York tonight with Comedy Dave, I fancied that - they're quite good, obviously this is my own opinion and not one of the BBC.

I dislike Murray because he openly admitted he hates the English, only to come unstuck and change his mind. I hate 'British' tennis actually, they're already setting up the excuses because Murray pulled his groin in set 3.

It is on the VR thread, and the comments on there no way reflect the adult discussion which took place today between both FC & KR fans...There was nothing on that thread which could have implicated RLfans, the debate mainly covered past proven history, the allegations which are clearly publicised in the media, plus the dangers of drink driving
This is a forum to discuss rugby related issues

I swear alot in conversation when I'm "with the boys" but when typing I feel you have the time to think before you type (so to speak) and be that little bit more pleasant. Wormy will vouch for my hatred of cursing (bit American that).

I think the words are used as a bit of fun and impact tbh..I have yet to see any which have been used to cause offence to an individual.Also the words used are not what I would call major if that makes sense

That is up to the mods on the VT.
I'm taking the same line as the FC mods took on the Gleeson situation that being safety first.
Yes I would love to allow it to go but lets be honest here we know what will happen at some point and I would rather not take that risk.

Once a statement was made about Gleeson on the FC website a thread was opened to discuss!!
Your club has made a statement, the media made a report and those were discussed by the fans today in a very sensible fashion, I disagree it was only going one way as it appeared both sets of fans shared the same view on it and like I say I was impressed in the adult way the debate/discussion took shape, how can you lock thread on the back of you think at some point something will happen I think sometimes you show no respect for posters who mostly are adults.
The inconsistency of the mods on these boards is not only confusing it is some-times pathetic.

Fair point

Covonia is very good

Do you mean "cussing"? Dreadful Americanism. Cursing, meaning profanity or swearing, is very old English. "Swearing" in this context is relatively new English, formerly meaning an oath in front of God.
.
You're right, dum-dum, I love the English language and see no wrong in using old words to describe their original meaning. Although I do swear on occasion, I don't like to hear swear words used continuously, outside of their true context. Particularly in front of children, who don't have the maturity to understand the origins and therefore think it is mandatory for a smattering of Fs and Bs in every sentence used instead of adjectives or adverbs.

More dreadful than swearing, though, in my opinion, is the izing of our English language by the middle classes, because they can't cope with life. They are offended by the facts that life involves everyone having a bum hole, using it to excrete solids, people having sex for pleasure and to produce children, and so unilaterally removing the nouns and verbs originally associated with these activities.

It's not just this, though. Soon anything that had even a slightly unhygenic air to it became outlawed. French words were used as substitutes because they sounded prettier:

Napkins - Serviettes
What - Pardon
Pudding - Dessert
Scent - Perfume
Sick - Vomit/Ill
Bog/Loo - Toilet
Graveyard - Cemetery
False Teeth - Dentures

All the words on the right are far more offensive to me than bugger being used to mean one who commits buggery.

Venos,for cough.

Hot toddies. The cure of all ailments.

Basic recipe: Half a glass of whisky, tablespoon of lemon juice [ifreshly squeezed[/i, large teaspoon of honey. Topped up with boiling water.

You may need to blast in the microwave for a few seconds if it's too cool, and add more honey for the cough. If it doesn't cure the cough, 3 of these in rapid succession will knock you out so you get some sleep.

That isnt an allowed subject NOW though is it.

If you have so much of a problem with it take it up with admin.

Na garbage is that bb

Thanks Wormy. Unfortunately the only alcohol in the house is wine and vodka. And I've no lemon juice. Not sure about the honey.Would vodka, coke and golden shred be a decent substitute, do you think?

I'm certain that'd be ok, if you heated it in the microwave and drank three within as many minutes

The best thing for me is a good dose of Jack Daniels.A few of those and I don`t feel a thing.

Do they say "fart", "bugger" "shag"

So you watched "Grange Hill" too?

Awww! sir, sir, he's doing it again!
