...can we swear before being branded "potty mouthed". Please.

That's excellent Chewbacca, I really enjoyed that! We used to have an LP of Flanders and Swan- they were very witty. I especially liked the one about the 97 horsepower omnibus.
I'd never heard pee po belly bum drawers before though. I'll show it to my grandchildren!

I swear quite a lot but do object to ignoramuses who put the f word before every other word.
I also object to the ghastly Americanism “potty mouth.” I don’t mind encouraging my dog by calling “Wee wee, Polly, poo poo!” but Americans call, “Go potty!” to their dogs.

Oh poor David ... there’s nothing like a good old swear word a lot start with b don’t they ? We could go on the games thread and start an abc of swear words ( not the really really bad ones of course)

You will get barred for all those rude words, chewbacca!

What gets the prizes and wins awards?
Pee Po Belly Bum Drawers.

For Belly Belly Bum Bum Belly Belly Bum Bum Pee Po Belly Belly Bum Bum, Pee Po Belly Bum Drawers.

Oh, crikey, MissA, I hadn't thought about that!

MissAdventure Fri 22-Mar-19 17:30:27

Depends if its singular or pair I'd imagine.

kittylester Fri 22-Mar-19 17:27:57

How many points for a 'bollocks'?

phoenix Fri 22-Mar-19 17:15:25

"Sparse?" SALTS! Damn tablet, I'll be glad when the desk top pc is back in action!

phoenix Fri 22-Mar-19 17:12:13

Flanders & Swann were never rude! Still haven't got the hang of c&p on tablet, but if you Google "Ma's out, Pa's out, let's talk rude" (or something like that) you should be able to find it!

Hopefully we won't have to get the smelling sparse out for Davidhs grin

Gonegirl Fri 22-Mar-19 16:57:35

Go on then (*phoenix*)....

Which one? Copy and paste it in full if it's really rude.

phoenix Fri 22-Mar-19 16:53:59

Anyone remember the Flanders & Swann song? wink

MissAdventure Fri 22-Mar-19 16:53:28

grin kitty and all of you!

walks in, reads last post, offers Davidhs smelling salts grin

Gonegirl Fri 22-Mar-19 16:42:17

That made me laugh nanaK54. (you haven't missed anything)

nanaK54 Fri 22-Mar-19 16:39:51

In answer to your original question - I have no bloody idea, but more importantly I'm left thinking bollocks what have I missed now

MamaCaz Fri 22-Mar-19 16:39:07

In response to the OP, nice women don’t swear, maybe it can be tolerated in extreme circumstances, but to me basically nil.

Yeah, whatever - get real. grin

Gonegirl Fri 22-Mar-19 15:11:26

Flip me kitty. Taking it to a new level now!

You work it out.

kittylester Fri 22-Mar-19 15:10:44

You cannot be serious!

kittylester Fri 22-Mar-19 15:09:22

Are there different levels? How many bl**dies equal a f**k or are they equal?

Anja Fri 22-Mar-19 15:04:54

Can we roll them over if we haven’t used up our daily allowances.....perhaps save them all for swearing at the TV and the crap they put on over a weekend?
