hypochondriac

Don't get to use it? Not sure what you are on about. When I initially replied I didn't even realise it was you I was replying to so not sure why you think I am lavishing particular attention on your posts.

Yep. Nothing wrong with using it amongst mates when people are joking and know the boundaries. Completely different using it liberally in public, certainly when children are around.

Of course I read the article but I didn't realise that feed the monkey was the specific term people were offended about.

Not sure what feed the monkey is but if you mean cheeky monkey then no I consider that a completely different issue. Using c*nt frequently in public is markedly different from someone saying cheeky monkey.

That is the key point and expressed better than I did.

Well either you consider a large number of Scotland Yard employees to be incompetent or corrupt or you trust that people will do their jobs they are paid to do to the best of their ability.

Yep I get offended when someone uses the word c*nt frequently in public. I don't think that's acceptable. I've already given my views on this supposed race row.

Odd that you think I'm upset. I just tend to think that liberal use of the word c*nt says a lot about the person who considers that acceptable.

Well I hope not to receive any blokey respect from the type of person who considers c*nt an acceptable word for everyday use.

If it isn't damning and the player in question is not offended then it is still a total non story

I don't think I've ever seen that used as a sign of blokey respect.

That's for the investigators to look into and question and I'm sure they have done.

His thyme is running out.

I suspect they have looked into it and concluded that abduction was the most likely course of events and the reconstruction was what the police believed happened. I am sure before they got to that they ruled out other theories as that is part of their job. I suspect that not everything they have investigated is in the public domain.

Personally, I trust those way more qualified than me (the police) to do their jobs and they clearly feel that abduction was the most likely scenario. I very much doubt they would be blinded by the McCans if they were trying to ensure that abduction was the only game in town. These are trained professionals who have probably seen things like this before.

I speak from experience when I say that nurseries and child care facilities do not have to pander to their customers. We have cultural sensitivity, but with something like this we say this is how we operate and if someone does not like it we suggest they take their business elsewhere. Oh and baa baa black sheep is routinely sung!

Any creche that bans the term cheeky monkey should be Shut down imo. Pathetic pandering to the hippy pc brigade. Disgraceful.

A nursery I know got reported to ofsted by a parent because they heard a practitioner calling a black child a cheeky monkey. This is as ridiculous.

Anyone who gets remotely offended by that is an utter tw*t. The papers are trash.

People are going massively overboard about a decent start to the season.

Amusingly he thought that was a Southampton fan yet it is almost exactly what a skate just said on their message board.

Apparently there is a petition with 2000 signatures against the new tesco development as it will harm local traders. Here is a charming reply from pol: I'm pretty sure the council will back the club on this. The butchers should be fine but perhaps a boycott by Pompey fans would help to concentrate the minds of shopkeepers down there? I don't live locally but do use that butcher occasionally. If they're going to try to delay the club's efforts to modernise the stadium then I certainly won't be using them from now on and would urge others to stop shopping there. Community club???

Both missed sitters and been poor so far.

Difficult one this. Do we listen to pap or the ex police chief. Hmm.

Don't worry if your posts are poor quality. You are most likely intimidated by the atmosphere generated by a thread of this magnitude.
