    Arts graduates trying to design mainframe infrastructures - FFS!! utter keich.
    but reassuringly expensive.
    then they have to find engineers to redesign it so it works.
    so we charge eyewatering rates to fix it.
    ah, - maybe they're not so bad, after all.............. hmmmmmm

    Seriously, when you start to ban words or swap them for words that take their meaning it's a slippery slop.

    Don't like Cow, if I call someone a stupid cow I don't want to be accused of being racist.
    No you will get accused of sexism until you point out you were talking about a bloke from a random European country.

    Oh and the mods can still get out their ban hammer using *.

    I think when young lads these days use the term amongst themselves, it means lame.

    My nephew, for instance, was complaining the other day that he didn't like being made to watch strictly with his parents because it's gay.

    Banning overtly racist terms is one thing, if nothing else to prevent legal ramifications on the forum owners, but the B** word?

    Can't believe how PC this forum has become


    Are you going to ban "snowflake" next?
