Re: You really must stop swearing.
Like everything there is a time and a place. My background of the forces and then construction gave me a fair old grounding in the art of blasphemy, but I like to think that the time and the place is not at home, in polite company or in public. Yes I can still get caught out if I hit my thumb with the hammer, but hopefully it is the exception rather than the rule.Re: You really must stop swearing.

For some reason I seem to see these words as aggressive insults directed towards females and their feminity. Is that silly do you think?Re: You really must stop swearing.
