no probs Dan,
as you have probably guessed , I am not PC , never have been never will be .
I don't intend to offend or outrage anyone , but if my words do , so be it . Most are said tongue in cheek , or from MY point of view , and although I see no reason to justify my words or actions to anyone , on a public forum such as this , that doesn't belong to me , I understand that in this totally insane world of "you can't say that or this" (the PC world that I do not inhabit) my words will seem somewhat over the top .
I wouldn't advocate that anyone go round and break bones for money , that was a joke , a sad one maybe , but isn't it equally sad that it has to be explained that it was a joke ? hence the PS.
It is a very sad world that words meant in jest could offend and cause offence maybe even compliant ?, or outrage , and yet people will put up with their lives being torn apart , trodden into the dirt , years of total misery , by some arsehole neighbours actions . I wouldn't .
I do try to curb my non PC view of life, and the way I talk , when I am on the forum . I don't always succeed !. As I have said , I don't intend to offend but I lose no sleep if WORDS do so.
I say it as it is from my view point . I don't say that that view is correct , it is just mine ! I grew up in an era where you were entitled to say what you wanted , within reason , that 'reason' seems to have gone (but not for me ).
I would like to thank you ,Dan and Rosemary , for allowing my ramblings without edit or interference , I appreciate my views may well be on what is the edge of acceptance these days , or at least I walk a thin line ...life on the edge again ... someone has to keep you on your toes though mate !!!
Remember the old rhyme folks 'sticks and stones may break my bones , but names will never harm me !!' see I am not the only one

cheers
Russ
