What are we allowed/not allowed to say?

[ratewhore]

Well, it's really getting a bit silly isn't it? Considering the N word is not even abusive. Not sure what the L word is, even though I consider myself to be a man of the world.

Clearly f**k and c**t are quite rude and offensive to some so that's understandable. Or perhaps those who are offended should f**k off, seriously...

[Bob Dalek]

A genius writes:

"Swearing is a really important part of one’s life. It would be impossible to imagine going through life without swearing, and without enjoying swearing. There used to be made silly, prissy people who said swearing was a sign of a poor vocabulary. It is such utter nonsense. The people I know who swear the most tend to have the widest vocabularies, and the kind of person who says swearing is a sign of a poor vocabulary, usually has a pretty poor vocabulary themself. The sort of twee person who thinks swearing is in any way a sign of a lack of education or a lack of verbal interest is just f--king lunatic."

For those who still haven't worked out what the L word is ...

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone

L*** in the sky with diamonds
L*** in the sky with diamonds
L*** in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...

Oh, and for Aceboy, this may help explain the N word: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl...,0.011373&z=17

Wikipedia:
Nork is a residential area of the borough of Reigate and Banstead in Surrey, England. It is located between Banstead and Epsom Downs. The main road through the area from north to south-west is Nork Way, along which a parade of shops is located at the northern end.

The buildings in the area are predominantly of inter-war features, and are similar to those of nearby Tattenham Corner.

Transport
Banstead railway station is in the Nork area of Banstead. Although Epsom Downs railway station is closer.

Local inhabitants
* F. E. Colman, managing director of Colman's mustard manufacturers, bought Nork House in 1890 and lived there with his family until 1923. The remains of the house are visible in Nork Park, now a public recreation area.
* The comedian David Walliams grew up in Nork and was a lifeguard at Banstead Sports Centre.


So, what are residents of Nork called, I wonder? Norkians perhaps.

You know you spend too much time on CUK when . . .

You laugh out loud in the middle of Tescos at their "Tulip" brand minced beef.

I got some strange looks, I can tell you.

Oh how ridiculous!

There is a company called it anyway for heaven's sake, here
