These people who phone up and complain have far too much time on their hands. Maybe they're radio DJ's!

People who complain about stuff are gay.

How does complaining about something indicate what sexuality they are?

I don't think it does Munroe. He's just the sort of guy that posts on every topic for no reason, even when he has nothing important or constructive to add.

Yes. Moyles needs to be put in his place. There are children that should never be subjected to these swear words. If we can get a few gererations to never hear a swear word they'll become extinct.

I understand that but don't you thing that children are more exposed to swear words in their schools or even homes than on chris' show? Fair enough there should not be any swearing on radio but turn channel 4 on while they are showing some stand up commedies? You'll get so much of them that even for me it's loads!

What will that actually achieve? In the end 'swear words' are just words. Each 'swear word' (well all that I can think of) have a non-swear equivalent so what difference does it make if you say the 'swear' one or the non-swear one?

If by some miracle 'swear words' are wiped from the English language, don't you think other words will just be said in their place? The 'swear words' are in the language for a reason, because people needed them to add emphisis where non-swear words wouldn't do, hence the F-word, it's simple, quick to say and can be used in a vast number of situations. It's only due to people's over-protective (and sometimes stupid) nature that it is deemed wrong for kids to hear/say them.

I agree. This is fact and you can't argue with fact, even though some of you are making futile efforts

I tell you what, if either of you can give one pracitable example of how that would work in the real world then I and I'm pretty sure every one else on this site would donate £100 to the charity of your choice. Apoologies if i don't speak for everyone but...honestly!

You're incorrect. It was during an episode of Grumpy Old Men and was therefore probably past your bedtime.

Maybe the next series of the spinoff Grumpy Old Women could feature Nikki from Big Brother.
