    I usually resort to combinations, or elaborate variations of the good ones Fran. I've got a degree in English Literature, but I still swear as much as anyone I know - it's not a lack of vocabulary on my part, more an appreciation of just how useful and versatile a swear word can be.

    Today is the 30th anniversary of the Clapham rail disaster. It affected the lives of many from our area and it's hard to believe it was 30 years ago.

    Interesting and thought provoking interview with the commander of Apollo 8 (the first manned flight to orbit the moon). The astronauts were awed by seeing Earth-rise and he said they had never considered when planning the flight that the most exciting thing was seeing the beautiful Earth....as he put it, the only colourful thing in the Universe.

    I went to a mates stag do for his second wedding earlier this year. I didn't know him when he got married the first time, but a lot of the guys who went had been to his first one. A good chunk of the down time was spent planning where we all wanted to go for his third stag do and that we all definitely didn't want to spend 5 days abroad for that one.

    I guess it is all to do with surroundings etc. I don't find any swear word offensive as my family (specifically my Dad) used to swear all the time so I think I sort of became immune to it growing up. Just see them as general piss taking words more than offensive.

    I do remember going round an American kids house who lived near my Grandparents in London when I was staying with them and them kicking off about my language whilst playing on the N64. My grandad had to come get me and explain that Americans didn't like bad words, as they were "weird ****s".

    Interesting report on how poor kids are under-performing in primary schools nationwide

    https://www.bbc.com/news/education-46541454

    I note Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight are bottom of the league.

    I thought everyone from the Isle of Wight was loaded?

    I went to the doctors recently. He said: “Don’t eat anything fatty”

    I said: “What, like bacon and burgers?”

    He said, “No. fatty don’t eat anything.”

    Oh so nearly!! Such a good gag if you just add a comma, rather than reposition the word fatty :)

    “No. Don’t eat anything, fatty”

    Have to reposition the word if the joke is spoken....which is how it would work better anyway.

    Nah. If spoken, just pause before the last fatty. That’s how I heard it first and definitely better.

    I’m qualified in this area Fran :)

    Didn't realise they had such a tumultuous relationship. Those last years where harsh.
