Foul language on Mumsnet…

Foul language on Mumsnet?

Having newly registered with Mumsnet I am dismayed, after perusing uTube and other forum sites where obscenities constantly pop up, to note use of foul language on this ?family site?.

I reported the swearing, specifically, where ?arseholes? was utilised as a reference to political parties.

The return I got from Mumsnet HQ was ??we don't think we
should be the arbiters of what people should find offensive and what
they shouldn't.? and ??We generally find it's better to let the boards self-
police??

May I engage you all in a quick survey?

Hands up all those that deem ?ARSEHOLES? as an offensive expression that should not be used on these boards??

Thank you?

Hands up those that deem ?ARSEHOLES? inoffensive??

Thanks?

Looks like the arseholes have it!

Ah, I see you're new here, idontlikeit?

Well, y'see, you're kinda threadjacking here, that's really a topic for another thread.

What you need to do is go to 'Topics', select, 'Am I Being Unreasonable' and 'Start a new thread'.

Then ask, "AIBU to think that its only the SAHMs who use forums such as this when JK is finished?"

I can't imagine there would be any swearing on there.

What's JK?

It's Jeremy fucking Kyle, of course.

Or is it Jizz Knackers?

Who knows? Those of us who live a high flying corporate chauffeur-driven lifestyle wouldn't have a clue about daytime telly

You been in the pub/winebar?

'sorry to disabuse you dont but I'm not working too never been a SAHM'

'I wonder if my motehr described herself as "a succesful business woman" guess she did, no reason why not, a sweet shop is a business.'

ah Bobbiewickham, love your style, thanks for enlightenment. Don't think I've ever seen it.

MumsieNonna - give it up. Leave Kewc alone. You're making yourself look silly now.

dispayuntilbestbefore I said it was part time not full time, now you are making things up and yes I do parent, they are all at school while I am working and yes I do get driven around sometimes when I am working, do you not then? Oh no, you are probably too busy gossiping or living off my tax.

Gossiping and living off your tax, actually.

SAHM v good at multitasking.

I don't believe I have ever come across a poster who seems to be such a sanctimonious twit as idontlikeit.

Hasn't she heard of days off from work? Or holidays? Maternity leave? Why are you making massive assumptions about the posters here?

If you really don't like the quality of the discussion, perhaps yu should find an acceptable alternative?

Did I miss the explanation for LLB as opposed to PGDL?

JK - Jacksie Knobbers?

ChoChoSan -

diff, she certainly takes the , doesn't she? All the least likeable traits rolled into one - in fact, I doubt she's real at all. If not a troll, then someone having a "laugh".

Chochosan is it any of your business? I am paying my own way in life so worry not.

I said ages ago why I came on here, did you not read that thumbwitch?

Like I said its much nicer elsewhere.

You're boring me now.

thumb, someone is certainly on the defensive.

God, idontlikeit, you've been here all day!

Wish I could find a high - powered chauffeur driven job which allowed me to sit on my arse mumsnetting all day.

And you don't even like mumsnet!

That really is luxury, that is.

AF and AFB, to get back to the important questions of the day...

I would with Doyle but not Bodie.
I would have original Hutch (circa 1976 not now although not me circa 1976 as I was only 11) but not Starsky.

I think you've given me an idea for a much more interesting thread. Just need to think of more duos as the answer to whether I'd shag Sapphire or Steel is rather more clearcut.

Idontlikeit - well it is a slightly bizarre way to waste your money...or are you just so terribly rich and so terribly clever that a pointless two years on your way to professional qualifications seems worthy?

Alternatively you are a bit thick...

Or fibbing....

Or both

I know whuch I'd put my money on.

And, idontlikeit why are you still here if we're all so unladylike? Or do you secretly like the dirty talk?

She's extending her vocabulary.

It'll be shitfuckbollocks in the back of the limo tomorrow...

I think idontlikeit is a regular on a wind-up.....

She's certainly a regular something!

it's not really any of my business idontlikeit. Just a Genuine question out of personal interest really. It's not any of my business what anyone here does, but thankfully most of them are happy to share.

It's not my business that you say you are being chauffeur driven, but you were happy to share that bit of unsolicited info.

Anyway ...my Lear jet is waiting...

yep, a regular or WashWithCare on a stir-up

ok

Bodie and Doyle, at the same time, they keep their leather jackets on and Gordon Jackson watches...

Starsky in the back of the red capri with the go-faster white stripe after Huggy Bear has scored us some druuuuugs, baby

I'm sure this is very bad form but:

Chaz or Dave?
Dukes of Hazzard - Beau or the other one?
Inspector Morse or Sergeant Lewis?

Oh sod it, can't think of any more. I'm not sure I want to know the answer to Morecambe or Wise.
