no probs meercat sure you will get them on Amazon or WH Smith online have you tried those?

Thanks Rob you dont usually see foul language on this site at all, maybe the innuendo and double entendre but certainly not foul or strong language. Dave

I believe in self-censusship; I always count myself in. Ah-ha! We may not all be adults on this site, so perhaps language and subject ought to be moderated. Having said that, of course (of coarse?), while I do object to the excessive use of foul language so prevalent on films and TV, I certainly have no objection to 'Carry On'-style humour of double entendres, etc. My biggest bug-bear is the referral to foul language as 'strong language': it is nothing of the sort, and such a phrase must have Shakepeare, one of the principle origins of truly 'strong language', spinning in his grave. Rob

Thanks Dave and B.C, you make me blush! lol

Dave B,, Perhaps you should put -Those without a sense of humour' dont read,,, Kay,

You put that beautifully, Em, well done once more. I do hope you will feel better soon...MWAH XX BC

Thank you Em for your very well spoken comments and as usual you speak with a lot of sense and meaning.Hope your tonsilitus is better soon. Davex

I totally agree with you Dave, I think that if people are comfortable and secure about themselves, innuendo and banter will be taken in the vein it is intended, innocent and lighthearted. It may be that some people are not so secure within themselves and perhaps 'over react' to what is normally a bit of fun. These members obviously have deeper issues and really should take a step back and evaluate their attitude. After all, as has been said on these boards time and time again, what one person may find funny, another may not, that is why we have the ability to choose what we do and dont read. Just like the television, if you dont like a program, turn to a different channel. If someone is genuinely upset or offended by a particular thread, then wouldnt it be far more posive and constructive to message the person invovled directly. I am sure we would all listen and delete, a thread if we knew we had upset another member. there is no need to go running to GR behind someones back. I find that underhand, and smacks of someone who is not able to communicate in a mature way with their peers. All this has been said so many times before, but still certain members relish in stirring up trouble for the sake of it. I can only deduce that there is a small minority on here who are very insecure and lonly within their lives, and instead of reaching out to the other members on here who would be only too glad to help, they have retreated within themselves and become very disgruntled with the world. This is only the Internet, we all know it is easier to 'type' rather than talk face to face, sadly this works negatlively aswell as positively. But we all have the choice to walk away from the keyboard, or turn to anotherwebsite or page.... there are millions after all. There, thats my rant over for this month, IF anyone is offended by what i say, i would appreciate they talk to ME first. Be warned though.... i have got Toncilitus and am feeling very sorry for myself :((

I have brought this back up to see if anyone else wants to comment on this subject.I think sometimes that people are sitting there just to put a comment on just to complain sometimes, and when they do it completly flattens the thread I dont see anything wrong with some innocent innuendo and if people are not happy why not e mail the person who started the thread and tell them their concerns. Davex

Sorry Karen the Hotel thread was one I think Jenny Mommylonglegs did it was called Hotel Utopia and it was a lot of fun innuendo and double entendre etc but all with no malice at all and I used to enjoy that, I played a maintenance man with an eye for the ladies lol. Davex

Thank you Deborah,Magi and Lily for your comments, and like Lily says some 60 year olds are more broad minded than some 20 year olds and it is a personal thing. I often go on some of the late evening threads , with BC Sue and Wendy etc and we all have a bit of fun and innuendo and enjoy it no malice at all. I hate it when anybody is quite hurtful to somebody and nasty and personel, but they are just good fun. Davex

Just flipped thro' all your replies...I don't think it would work putting an age limit - some of us (sixties) have a perfectly good sense of humour whereas I know some twenty year olds with NONE. It's all in the mind! Lily

Hi Dave. We haven't spoken, but i agree with you. Surely if people dont like what they, see,read,watch etc the choice is thiers to stop doing it. A warning is a good idea. regards deb

Len - how did you know I was once 'Lily White', pre marriage! Lily

Dave, I tried a few times yesterday to add to this thread, and would hate you to think I was ignoring such an interesting topic. As usual I'm like the cow's tail and everyone has beaten me to the post. Gray summed it up perfectly. I like a laugh and a joke as much as the next person, and we're all quite capable of choosing what we want to read or not as the case may be. Your threads are always of interest, whether it be the 'fancy dress' - a chance to let off steam and have a laugh, or something slightly more serious that concerns us all. This site has been a lifeline to me in recent months, and I appreciate everyones support. M x

I have nudged this back up to see if any further comment from people who missed it yesterday. Davex

Thank you everybody just come back but must admit I dont understand the Dross thing that Gray mentioned and Paul highlighted have I missed something that as since been deleted? Most of us are adults and I hate personel attack I think I have proved that many times in the past when I have jumped in to anybody who is under verbal attacks assistance.I like fun but would not think of trying to belittle anybody.I have made mistakes on here and paid for them but anybody I have upset will find that I will apologise unreservedly if they think I have hurt them. Unfortunatly not all of you will accept my apologies I have found, but that doesnt mean I dont mean them. This is a very interesting thread with lots of views which I hope we can all learn off. Davexx ps Vivienne Linen lady No it is not in response to your comments the other day they were valid ones, Dxxxx

Dave I think everyone on here is a consenting adult surely and that if you read a thread and don't like what you see you take your little mouse and click on the 'X' top right. If I'm wrong - hands up all you 12 year olds - sign below!! Anna

Hi Dave I think that I have answered your question - see my latest threads:)) Not like me - and I haven't even had a drink:)) Chrissie x

hi dave i love your threads ! am sorry i missed the one last night too ! i agree- maybe a little warning on the title is a good idea. peeps are warned- then they cannot complain if they do not like what they read . keep up the good work- a little bit of fun goes a long way, sue. xxx
