I think Svetlanas' right. People learning a new language often learn its swearwords first. Anyone who learns through immersion tends to use more bad language.

Hi Milo

To be fair to Paphitis, Australia and Australians have done wonders ...


.....bearing in mind they are all the off-spring of convicts


As for Australia winning the War for the UK, although no-one should underestimate the bravery and sacrifice of all ANZAC toops, I believe about 27,000 Australian troops were killed, around 250,000 US troops and over 20,000,000 Soviets, so I guess if anyone is to be thanked by the European Allies, it is to the USSR and the US.

Erm Lana dearest...you are also including civilian deaths in those statistics and you know full well that WW2 hardly reached Australian shores... ...and that was a good thing...but what I don't understand is why there is so much reliance on Aussie troops in just about every major battle throughout history? It seems the Brits and Yanks are not capable of doing a damn thing without the Aussies, but through association the Yanks are responsible for embarrassing our superior forces many times, through shear stupidity and arrogance in places like Vietnam and Iraq....

Australian WW2 contributions in WW2:

Population 6,900,000
Military Forces 993,000
Military Deaths 39,366
Civilian Deaths 735

Now compare that by calculating the per capita sacrifice made by each nation and then come and tell me once again which country should be thanked...

http://www.awm.gov.au/atwar/statistics/ww2.asp

Australians in WW1:

Population 5,000,000
Military Forces 416,809
Military Deaths 60,000
Wounded, gassed or POWs 160,000

As far as the Battle of Britain was concerned, Britain would have been cactus if it were not for some rag tag Americans, Canadians, Poles, Aussies and New Zealanders.

At the same time, Japan was menacingly pouncing on Australia and if it invaded, we were going to be cactus because our forces were busy fighting other people's battles in Europe....

What's wrong with the occasional phuck ?? As long as it's used in emergency

Admin and I try to interfere as little as possible with the content of CF; over-moderated Forums can be stiffling and dull. However, apart from a huge dumbing down of the General Section over the last month or two, we have seen the sudden re-appearance of the 'F' word.

To many people it is not acceptable and, perhaps slightly importantly, might lead someone, for whom English is not their first language, to use it out of context in their real life - with unfortunate results.

The English language, having stolen words from Greek, Latin, German and many other languages, is rich in adjectives and we can get by without resorting to profanity. So please, give it a rest.

Lana PS from next week, we shall be banning all words with less than three syllables.

Lana dear....I have been formulating a list of members who have been solely responsible for the dumbing down of this forum.

As a law abiding CF member I will publicly post this list solely for your benefit so as to make your life a little easier!

The culprits responsible for dumbing down Gereral Chat are as follows:
1. Cyprusgeoff - the guy is a right royal pomy punce,
2. Milo - a very gullible English tart,
3. Bluelagoon - ???????
4. Emma gemma or is it ruby? - ???????????????????????????????????
5. Miltiades - A pom with no fashion sense (he wears white socks and sandles) and uses the "F" word often as well as the "P" word in every sentence,
6. Tim Drayton - a boring phucker.

I shall continue to keep my ear to the ground!

No need to thank me...

baby is a good girl and not on the naughty list he he he
