What I am actually thinking but not saying might be rather different. But when I get behind the wheel of a car, I turn into the foulest-mouthed harridan - spraying out effs, and bees and cees at anybody who has the temerity to cross my path. My physical language also detriorates as I happily wave different combinations of fingers at white-van-men and beemers and contort my facial muscles into the most unflattering arrangements. And I am only mildly ashamed since this splenic swear venting is wonderfully therapeutic and harms no-one.

Stress levels have to be incredibly high, but it is rather satisfying to use a proper swearword on occasion. I have been known to utter them, but generally not in public.

Not at all darling, they are in the language for a reason. :-)

Poor Reed, cyberspace can be a frustrating place. Grr to lost things. Substitute swear-word-wise (!), I like bloomin/flipping.... (insert anything of your choice). Or just a large GRRRR, when no words will quite do. He really can, you know.

Grrr. I think 'bum' is an excellent swearword, personally, but then I rather like the b sound as a consonant. I also think that the feeling you put into the word is often more important than the word itself. I can pour an astonishing level of invective into an innocent word like 'monkeys' if I need to.

I've just lost a) a red fire engine, b) a Humpty Dumpty book, and c) a $2 bit, all in the space of a couple of days. I wish life had a back-up facility.
