The BBC. Proving again they fail when it comes to live sports

Biggest event is the world cup ATM

95th min of added time in the Ghana game and they turn it off to carry on over on BBC 1

It's got 3 mins left .. and they showing pre recorded bits for the rugby

That's poor

At the risk of daring to bash the BBC - I agree!

Plus their hyperbole/exaggeration on Masterchef which I watched today "pop ups have revolutionised how we eat"!

It's proven that swearing is linked to an excellent vocabulary. Whether you can take that a step further and link and enhanced vocabulary to intelligence is debatable, but your suggestion is ridiculous.

I believe that you have that slightly wrong, the conclusion of the 2015 (small scale) study was "a voluminous taboo lexicon may better be considered an indicator of healthy verbal abilities rather than a cover for their deficiencies ". So the more swear words you know, the more likely you are to have an overall bigger vocabulary. Repeating the same few words is not an indicator of a larger vocabulary. Now, I'm off to find someone to call them an elbow shaking, fopdoodle who can just sard off.

Many years ago there was a Young Ones annual and a page in there entitled "Swearing makes your nob bigger" allegedly written by John Noakes of Blue Peter. Who cares if it does or not when you can quote a headline like that?

You talking about yourself again mate?

Thanks for that. I briefly wondered who Beezerk was referring to, and I know it wasn't himself.

My wife actually has a sense of humour so yes of course I would. I do worry about some people on here who seem to be physically scared of their partners. ?

Not physically scared, but I l know my place.
Taken me 43 years to get that.
I get to play golf whenever I like - so life ain't bad.

People who fiddle with the toaster settings in hotels? Was fine for two days, this morning was 2 passes and still one side wasn’t coloured at all

Me too, as long as my wife is happy for me to play golf regularly I am in a very good place. She has her hobby and we have managed to rock along for 43 years.

Ordered a dozen golf balls from Amazon at the end of October. They should have been here by the 5th of November but I am still waiting for them to arrive. Cannot get a refund for 90 days?. Not the first time I have ordered balls on line and they failed to arrive. The last time was through a pro shop on eBay a couple of years ago. Got my money back but the balls must be going somewhere❓
