I wonder if you could please tell me something that is rather puzzling me at the moment. It is only a small thing and I really don't want to take up a lot of your time. I think Strictly May be on tv soon, if not now, and I expect you want to settle down in front of it. smile

The thing is, norty words in thread titles are allowed on MN. But not on here. Is that because we are the big girls and, therefore, expected to behave in a well brought up, ladylike manner.

If this is the reason, I quite understand smile and I will in future, if I have a future on GN, try to avoid the very worst of them. Like tits, bum, and bollocks.

Thank you for your very kind attention. smile

Nah! I'll go with the flow. Just hope I put my asterisks in the right place.

hides placard in cupboard just in case.

Got nothing to do tonight now that the bunfight's off

Might as well get some culture

Gonegirl, can I borrow your copy of "The Henry Root " letters?

I'm just wondering what might be considered too norty for a thread title, but OK for posting in a thread. I mean there are obvious ones but apart from those 4 letter ones what else wouldn't be allowed. Maybe this should be a new sort of game- Forbidden words A-Z. Now is arse?

Gonegirl Mon 09-Sept-19 16:03:05

Try it trisher.

Something along the lines of,

Title: "I have got a pain in my arse."

First post " Can anyone help please?"

See what happens.

Carillion just looked at that book on Amazon. Extract:

"I am certainly not a thinking man's Anna Raeburn, so you must solve your own problems." is the best put down ever."

Could be useful on here! shockgrin

B could be "I've dropped a bollock, was I being unreasonable? "

merlotgran Mon 09-Sept-19 17:56:35

Can we please skip C? grin

Gonegirl Mon 09-Sept-19 18:03:10

Perhaps we'd better. shockgrin

Gransnet I thought your job was to support GM posters? Make sure they were not targeted by unkind posters etc. Allowing yourself to be ridiculed is like a school saying they have a 'no bullying policy', but then when bullying takes place they put the victim in the library out of the way and the bully is free to continue. My opinion of course.

GrannyGravy13 Mon 09-Sept-19 18:58:20

E for eff it!!!

Bathsheba Mon 09-Sept-19 19:09:40

What's a GM poster? A genetically modified poster? Have we got any of those on GN? hmm

Gonegirl Mon 09-Sept-19 20:05:46

love0c I take it you meant GN posters?

No one is "ridiculing" anyone at GNHQ. Wouldn't dream of it actually. Just having a little laugh. smile

merlotgran Mon 09-Sept-19 20:06:23

I don't think anyone's going to admit to any artificial enhancements, Bathsheba grin

Gonegirl Mon 09-Sept-19 20:09:35

Who is this "bully" anyway?! I sure as hell hope you don't mean me!

Elegran Mon 09-Sept-19 20:17:54

F for frigging in the rigging? There's eff all else to do.

gmarie Mon 09-Sept-19 21:17:37

Thanks for the grins!!! Was feeling down after reading headlines in my Google News feed and you ladies are just the anecdote for that slump!

merlotgran Mon 09-Sept-19 21:25:49

Is that your contribution, jura?

Not sure I get it. grin

merlotgran Mon 09-Sept-19 21:31:11

As Eliza Doolittle might have said, ' In Hertford, Hereford and Hampshire, Harseholes hardly happen!'

Bathsheba Mon 09-Sept-19 21:31:47
