tombkk Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 According to the forum rules, posters agree 3) Not to post in a manner that is vulgar, obscene or profane According to the rules about Netiquette "10.

The OP is the founder and owner of this very message board, so which mod do you think would moderate him? Like you, and unlike most people in this thread, I am offended by this word too. But like you, I will continue to be a subscriber to ThaiVisa, because this is a highly unusual thread and you won't find this word anywhere else on the forum. Rest assured, it is an exception. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should set a better example. Do as I say, not as I do? Maybe this should be moved to the 'jokes' forum. I found it funny to swear when I was about 7 (only because somebody told me it was 'rude) but I did grow out of it by about 9 . Some people still find it amusing it seems. it doesn't bother me but it's either allowed or not. Maybe a Mod can clarify for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabs053 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) I absolutely Fking loved it Are there really this many people over the age of 9 that still think swearing is funny because it's rude?If you're going to write about schoolboy humour then Billy Connolly certainly deserves a mention. He is a 'comedian' who made fame and fortune by being rude and offensive, telling schoolboy jokes. Unfortunately, like a lot of these guys, he made the mistake of letting his ego take over from his schoolboy brain. In 2004 he made a 'joke' about a british hostage, Ken Bigley, who had been in the news a lot. He said "Don't you just wish they would get on with it". A few days later they did. Hilarious. BTW - Is this "Thailand related"? Edited September 2, 2010 by tabs053 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, for one, I am glad that it is moderated the way it is. Anything less and it all goes to hel_l... which is another moderated word. Kind of funny one at that. George can run the forum any way he feels is within reason. This topic is unusual but interesting, and by George starting it the topic it has been kept under strict control. .

nisakiman Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) Move to Phuket forum, perhaps? Funnily enough, the first time I was travelling in Thailand in '71, the main reason I went to Phuket was that I saw it on the map and thought "Oh wow, I have just got to go to an island called fukit, so I can say I've been there!". Well, I was quite young then.... Thought the video would have been better if they hadn't made so many spelling mistakes. Am I being a pedant?

Aww Phuket And talking of Thai fruit, I always used to wonder (until I was told where the word really came from) why they referred to us as guavas! Funny old thing, language...
