    I read somewhere that the seriousness of 'feck' became lessened on both sides of the Irish Sea largely as a result of Father Ted. In Britain, where it was a rarity before the Channel 4 programme, it was believed to be less severe because it was portrayed in the programme as something a priest (albeit a rather shocking one) would say. This in turn had an impact on Irish usage, because they heard English, Scots and Welsh people using it as a softened form of fuck.

    Yeah I'm not a fan of lessening profanity 

    I am a huge fan of swearing, vulgarity, obscenity in most of its forms. It forms part of the beautiful landscape and portrait of the English language. Mustn't overuse it though else it loses its impact

    Sorry if it’s been mentioned but I’ve got 1.4 unread posts on here. 

    The almost endemic use in the last year or so of the word “super” as an adverb.  I’m super excited. It’s super delicious. I’m super happy etc etc.  Drives me feckin livid.  Nearly as much as the equally endemic use by the younger generations of the word “So” to begin a sentence, especially in response to a question.  Annoys the feck out of me. 
    I have been banging on about SO for ages. It makes my blood boil. To the point where my family have had enough of me shouting at the telly "That sentence works just as well without SO at the start you tosser" 

    The Over use of Super is also spot on - see also people saying  " can i GET"

    Flies 🪰 

    I’m sure they never used to be as annoying in the 70s, 80s and 90s as they currently are.

    One of the wankers landed on the back of my hand last night. What the fuck was it doing? Ended up chasing it around the room but not catching it.

    And then tonight, one constantly buzzing around our food, little mug.

    Hate them and seriously considering starting a separate’Fly’ thread.

    At least the fly soray you get these days smells like air freshener rather than industrial poison 😁

    Smells better but thats because it doesn't work any more.... the flies in our house use it to cool down like the water mist spray you get abroad, it has zero effect on them. 
  • I keep meaning to get one of those fly zappers that looks like a tennis racket.

    Not sure but one of the questions was what battle did Nelson take charge of the English forces. It was an interactive quiz and some people put Waterloo. I said in a loud voice to my wife to at there are some bloody stupid people about. She replied quietly that the table next to us had chosen Waterloo as their answer.

    I like fish and eat fish but people heating up fish in a microwave at a work place should be illegal

    My Jack Wilshire style body, only 4 months ago I fractured both sides of my ankle walking. I'm back on crutches again with a small fracture on my knee cap and suspected MCL tear.

    And to top it off I lasted 6 minutes and gave away a penalty.

    Same with curries, Chinese etc, we used to have some dreadful smells floating around the office once lunch was done. Should be banned
