Amen to that St Nicholas!

No dear, this is spontaneous and called banter, and just coz we might disagree with you doesn't make us, to use the nowadays overly common US psychobabble, "bad people".

And any way, Porn has more of a plot (and better music, unless it's US porn) than Big Brother.

Nor does it secure you the moral high ground. We all have things that others look down their noses at us for.

Dave, out of a total of three second-person personal pronouns you might have chosen to take issue, interesting that you opted for 'it'.

You will note that I didn't proffer any opinion; only giving the reader the choice to make up their own mind (although you've chosen to make and attach the allusion for me) and offered all three in the lexicon.

Or are we now to be syntactically bitch-slapped, bound, banded, branded and boundaried by the ultra-narrow confines of the liberal cognoscenti and their word police? Sorry mate: I've never bought the PC brigade's version of events, as it's the death of expression.

And have I ever wondered how I might cope in her situation? Honestly? No. But I can vouchsafe and make faith promise, sir, that I would never deliberately or willingly put myself up as an Aunt Sally-cum-Programmer-controlled-potential-Freak-show, designed for nothing more than mere viewer titillation.

Again, no one made any pretence of attempting to do so.
