Hi All - We have noted the odd complete naughty word being "Fully" dropped into the conversation here on the forum.
Can I ask us all to remember that kids visit and read this as well, and any "naughty words" should not really be given out in full format,
However, if it is a ''must'' to cement a point, and you really must, lets all agree at the least, to put it in the starred format:
i.e. B****r, etc, at least that way, we the Adults, (hopefully), can work it out and the kids,
who probably know anyway, can't actually repeat it and justify it as acceptable, by saying - well it was on the forum.
This way no one can get upset, it's just a bit of old fashioned respect for others!!
Now - don't shoot me for this one, because we can still have the usual fun!!,
I certainly don't want us to be like my workplace where it's over-the-top Political Correctness and run by killjoys!!
Enjoy it and have fun - S S here we come!!

Hi All - We have noted the odd complete naughty word being "Fully" dropped into the conversation here on the forum.
Can I ask us all to remember that kids visit and read this as well, and any "naughty words" should not really be given out in full format,
However, if it is a ''must'' to cement a point, and you really must, lets all agree at the least, to put it in the starred format:
i.e. B****r, etc, at least that way, we the Adults, (hopefully), can work it out and the kids,
who probably know anyway, can't actually repeat it and justify it as acceptable, by saying - well it was on the forum.
This way no one can get upset, it's just a bit of old fashioned respect for others!!
Now - don't shoot me for this one, because we can still have the usual fun!!,
I certainly don't want us to be like my workplace where it's over-the-top Political Correctness and run by killjoys!!
Enjoy it and have fun - S S here we come!!
Well said totally agree

Thanks - Lets just not cross the line I say!!

We've tried other forums (no picking on that last word..I don't do Latin) but this one is the TOPS! Not only have we learned a lot but it is good clean knockabout fun too. Let's keep it "SIMPLY THE BEST."
-
I agree Don. Other forums have tried but they simply don't match up to this site. We are lucky that someone took there time and trouble to create this site for us.

Hmm...playing "Devils advocate" for one moment, I'm not sure whether "naughty" words - where they emphasise a point - are,in themselves, particularly,hurtful. It's the context, and naughty words IMO arent needed for something to be construed as hurtful. PC over ;)

This is the basic bottom line - We give our time to write on this forum for a few main reasons.
1) We the Forum Contributors, enjoy doing this, we all love S S and want to pass this feeling onwards to others and have a bit of harmless FUN & NICE banter doing it!! Nothing is ever meant to be Nasty or Negative to the others.
Most of us now "know each other well", we achieved this by writing and taking part in the banter, over a log period of time!!
We also know not to go too far and where the line is that we just don't cross, while doing it!!
It's because we have this understanding with each other - (we know each others level of humour), that this works!!
i.e. - YES - We do take the "mickey" out of each other, but we all know that it's not meant to be hurtful in any way, because we respect each other, and would be the first to jump to anothers assistance at any time. We have made friendships doing this.
2) We remain aware that children may also browse and therefore we try to be respobsible in some area's, the main one is not to spell out fully any inapropriate words. Yes!! - we sometimes wish to make a point, so we use stars instead of printing that word.
Adults understand what is being said anyway in that context. It's a set standard that we don't wish to breach!!
I think and hope that the above opinion is endorsed by the site owners and my fellow contributors!
i.e We want this site to be ''Fun'' to take part in, but ''responsible'' and ''helpful'' to all who may need any information.

Thanks Don - that is the key target, not to offend - even when being risque'!!

I RESPECT the right of each and everyone of you to produce copious amounts of typos. I admire the DIGNITY you show when pulled up about it LOL And I'm saving up FOR RUm on the plane LOL ???

HA-HA - very good!! Bit like an extract from the record - The Deck of Cards, remember it:-
The soldier said, "Sir, I have been on the march for about six days, I had neither Bible nor prayer book, but I hope to satisfy you, Sir, with the purity of my intentions. And, with that, the boy started his story.
“You see, sir, when I look at the Ace, it reminds me that there is but one God,
And the duce reminds me that the Bible is divided into two parts, the old and the new testament.
When I see the three, I think of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
And when I see the four, I think of the four evangelists who preached the gospel, there was Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
And when I see the five, it reminds me of the five wise virgins who trimmed their lamps, there were ten of them, five were wise and were saved, five were foolish and were shut out.
Now the question is? Where do Zoe, Jules, Sue, Sarah and Linda fit in here? I suppose they could loosely qualify as virgins,
metaphorically speaking of course!! But are they the wise ones?? LOL !!!

I'm fascinated as to the sort of child that would read an adult forum concerning holidays, it's not very exciting or childlike [for the children ] is it? Just wondering like....carry on bantering butty ;) :)

I'm fascinated as to the sort of child that would read an adult forum concerning holidays, it's not very exciting or childlike [for the children ] is it? Just wondering like....carry on bantering butty ;) :)
Younger people will read these forums as well because they will be just as excited if not more about where they are going than some adults are.

Hi All - We have noted the odd complete naughty word being "Fully" dropped into the conversation here on the forum.
Can I ask us all to remember that kids visit and read this as well, and any "naughty words" should not really be given out in full format,
However, if it is a ''must'' to cement a point, and you really must, lets all agree at the least, to put it in the starred format:
i.e. B****r, etc, at least that way, we the Adults, (hopefully), can work it out and the kids,
who probably know anyway, can't actually repeat it and justify it as acceptable, by saying - well it was on the forum.
This way no one can get upset, it's just a bit of old fashioned respect for others!!
Now - don't shoot me for this one, because we can still have the usual fun!!,
I certainly don't want us to be like my workplace where it's over-the-top Political Correctness and run by killjoys!!
Enjoy it and have fun - S S here we come!!
Hmm...playing "Devils advocate" for one moment, I'm not sure whether "naughty" words - where they emphasise a point - are,in themselves, particularly,hurtful. It's the context, and naughty words IMO arent needed for something to be construed as hurtful. PC over ;)
This is the basic bottom line - We give our time to write on this forum for a few main reasons.
1) We the Forum Contributors, enjoy doing this, we all love S S and want to pass this feeling onwards to others and have a bit of harmless FUN & NICE banter doing it!! Nothing is ever meant to be Nasty or Negative to the others.
Most of us now "know each other well", we achieved this by writing and taking part in the banter, over a log period of time!!
We also know not to go too far and where the line is that we just don't cross, while doing it!!
It's because we have this understanding with each other - (we know each others level of humour), that this works!!
i.e. - YES - We do take the "mickey" out of each other, but we all know that it's not meant to be hurtful in any way, because we respect each other, and would be the first to jump to anothers assistance at any time. We have made friendships doing this.
2) We remain aware that children may also browse and therefore we try to be respobsible in some area's, the main one is not to spell out fully any inapropriate words. Yes!! - we sometimes wish to make a point, so we use stars instead of printing that word.
Adults understand what is being said anyway in that context. It's a set standard that we don't wish to breach!!
I think and hope that the above opinion is endorsed by the site owners and my fellow contributors!

Sorry - I find it difficult to believe [ but I'm a complete cynic] a 7 year old - or a teenager, for that matter, would either be sophisticated enough to seek a forum out or be that bothered when it has things like face book and kids it's own age to find things out, or when it could probably pester it's parents....how come they never post ? :) just saying like :D
-
Zimmer- Kids are highly sophisticated with regard to computers these days! never under-estimate them!
Anyway, irrespective of that, it is not an "Adult" Forum anyway, it is a family forum! - Bottom Line!
So Cynic or not, we have our forum rules and general decorum, which we like to try and preserve.
If anyone wants to "F"'n blind, all over the posts, this is not the right forum for that person!!
It's a bit like the resort at San Stefanos!
If you* (*example-not you personally), holiday there and go round being miserable, or acting like a complete buffoon, you won't make any friends. If you* act like an ignorant fool and spoil others entertainment, or roll around drunk like the worst kind of lager lout, you'll* find that you* are treated like a leper, because S S is a nice happy resort!
Lets be fair, if you* go there with a nice open and friendly attitude, you* will be welcomed with open arms, you will make friends, sometimes for life and that is really nice to have, so we say to all visitors - it's your* call!! - you decide!!
I know which way we always go, and we have made many friends for life, still in contact from anything up from now and going back to 26 years ago! You* get out of your* S S experience whatever you put into it!
Anyway - hope to meet you on the Saturday and hope we end up as good friends!!

The HEARTFELT bit was all my own... I freely admit I'm in touch with my weird side!!

Well I agree both those replies, I'm not a foul mouthed yob...just yet ;) and I dont like tattoo earing drunks either, theres a time and a place for everything, I was trying to make a point that it's not so much individual words as the context of words which make the message, the written word is a poor form when delivered by internet.It's entirely possible not to respect someone and never say an abusive word to them.But where does one draw the line between all these things? and thats at the heart of things ie we all adapt our own standards to suit our way of thinking, so, for me "B....y Hell" is just highlighting a feeling to someone else it's a terrible way to speak and to someone else totally natural...but I agree there are or should be common grounds of recognised behaviour...of course thats different when it's one's favourite sports team :)"Ow come on refee!" now is that "time and place" ok or, really, hypocracy? is constantly making fun of someone just fun or verging on bullying? who knows . it's all relative.
Anyway, Don, try and download "Dignity" by Dylan "Dignity never been photographed"...have fun,breakfast calls

I don't see that happening - I think we will - between us - make sure!
The forum is ''it's people'' and ''it's people'' will rule! (too profound for this time of day - but true)!!

Something my old dad used to say :-
" It's nice to be nice ! "
If something has been pointed out as offensive, unsavoury or even just a little bit off, continuing with it is bad manners. Simple.

Likewise - I think my Parents would have loved this place as well.
My father worked overseas in Singapore for about 20 years, his holidays in the UK were taken in Bognor Regis -
but it lacks the charm of San Stefanos by miles - they really would have loved it!!
-
Dignity Deacon Blue (out of Steely Dan - great literary device?)
Respect Aretha Franklin
Serious point is that I don't care what race, religion, colour etc If someone treats me ok I treat them ok. If I treat someone Ok I deserve to be treated ok in return. Any bad language used is to me an insult to me. The user obviously feels it is all I deserve. The other way is to feel for someone with a poor vocabulary! It is a sorry indictment of our country when the most used adjective begins in F and ends in ing !
I must confess as a true sports fan to detesting sports Bigots....

Likewise - I was 16 went with my best mate at the time, went out in a rowing boat on the boat pond, got my friend to get on the pole on the middle - rowed away - took a great photo - still have it - as I went back to get him - the pole went over in slow motion - LOL
Still good mates though!!

I ..er..appear to have ruffled a few feathers , if so I apologise.So, to put the record straight, and not for you to think that I'm some kind of Gordon Ramsey type let me say that I think it's right to respect sensibilities too,in any shape or form and I cant stand people swearing in front of kids either, having said that I'm not going to lie and say Ive never sworn when exasperated or "gob-smacked" - especially when I play golf ;D[ which is miles out in the open spaces ] or when something goes awry at work, so I hope you respect my point of view too.
48 hours to lift off
