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!

absolutely none of those

do you think I have no standards ?

Cannon or Ball?
Little or Large?

Can't tell the difference btw Chaz or Dave, so neither - or both, depending.

I'd always go for Roscoe P Coltrane.

Morse, every time.

Ball, obv (clue in the name)

See also Large

Oh, and Morecambe.

'Specially if he wiggled his glasses.

Trevor or Simon?

Trinny or Susannah?

Hinge or Bracket?

Mitchell or Webb?

which Chuckle Brother ?

God, that's like asking if I want to be shot or stabbed...er...gun to my head...tall one [cringe]

Imagine..

to me to you, to me to you, to me to you

What have I missed?

Have we found out a GDL v LLB answer yet? Am dying to know idontlikeit. Can't wait till you get into practice... please reveal... I have money riding on this now

idontlikeit i was a bit up my own arse when i was a student too

I grew up once i got a proper job (yes i work too) and realised im not the only one with a degree

You are still young and a lot bit immature arent you love

I would shoot you myself, bobbie, if you were ever desperate to shag a Chuckle brother

mind you, I suppose someone does, and she must love him

Do you reckon?

I can imagine many a lonely night at Chuckle Towers.

Imagine the gratitude

You are absolutely right. I will leave it alone now. Not nice (of moi).

Which one was Owen Wilson in... Starsky and Hutch or Dukes of Hazzard?

I'd do him.

Vinegartits... your name says it all and nope I am not a student I am as I said I was.

I am just not as thick as you lot here with your pathetic nasty abuse.

Funny how some of you spend your days on here and you call me thick?

Bored now, moving back the other forum where people are welcome.

Hale or Pace?
Noel or Mr Blobby?

Anyfucker... at least one of them is married. One of the girls in my class reckons her dad was in the choir at a 'Chuckle wedding'. She couldn't tell me which one though.

"Chuckle wedding" rofl

I would pay to attend a Chuckle wedding. They could ban my kids, my dh and insist on cash only gifts and I'd be there, front row, biggest hat I could find

Oh... and 'Little' sometimes does painting and decorating at DS's old prep school. I can pass your numbers on if anyone's interested.

I could use my 'connections' and see if the other Chuckle has tied the knot yet

Would have love to have been at a "Chuckle wedding" bet it took all day to walk down the aisle "to me ..to you...to me to you...to me to you"

"[numpties who] take offense[sic] at someone else disapproving of foul language."

That's my quote of the day

Closely followed by sm's take on "Chauffeur my arse"

If he hasn't but nuptials are pending, please get me in on the guest list.
I've got an aqua appliqued number just waiting for such an occasion

Hmmmm, I am newly single...

Nah, not even I could go for being a Chuckle WAG.
