Whoops
Am in Melbourne, and we are sharing a two bedroom apartment. As all good mates do, we routinely greet each other with terms of affection such as f***wit, c**t etc.
Yesterday I had headed back early, and was alone. Heard someone opening the door (they did not knock) so assumed it was the ginga and as the door opened yelled out “F*** Off C***”.
The hotel staffer asks if this is an inconvenient time to check the mini-bar, as I profusely apologise and explain my comments were not meant to be directed at him!

That explains it then DPF, the hotel staffer pinched your cellphone, accessed your FB page and announced your engagement?
Or was that the Ginga? I-predict awaits your confirmation.

Whoops is the best heading I can think of

Welcome to my fair city… shame it’s raining yet again. Thought we were beginning to get some warmer days but today is freezing again =( Can’t wait for summer.

You know what they say … if you’re explaining, you’re losing!

On Breakfast this AM (yeah I know….loser) actually interested cos they woz talking ’bout book burning,there was a uni type over from Melbourne talking ’bout swearing.
We’ve moved from religous based swearing ie “drat” God rot you,to sex type,as our host DPF describes,as the taboo wears off etc.
Interestingly ,since the ’80′s says the uni woman, race, ethnicity etc are now verbotten,even to the extent that law enforces it. Paul Henry says (to his credit) so we’ve gone backwards then.
I reckon that the hippies and former “radicals” who are now in power are simply imposing their identity politics on us and stifling free speech…….the C**ts.
This was followed on Al Jazeera by a Catholic bishop in England saying he was glad to live in a country where Koran burning was a crime,as opposed to the US where its not a crime. I say give me the freedom of the US as opposed to that bollox.
Compare and contrast the outrage exhibited by the “geat and the good” worldwide to the burning of a Koran as to the stoning to death of a woman! Zounds and struth.

Congratulations to David Farrar on his engagement. There’s more to life than blog after all.

One of the things I have always liked about Kiwiblog is the absence of preciousness in regard to red-blooded language. I hope that’s not changing. Nothing pisses me off more than the craven asterisk cop-out. Either a word is unacceptable or it’s not. If it’s not, don’t use it. Otherwise, have the balls to use all of it. What is actually accomplished when every eight year-old in the country knows perfectly well how to fill in the missing bits? For f*ck’s sake, the first thing you do when you see something like this on the front page of your newspaper is sub-vocalise it. Oh dear, gran and the vicar just mumbled ‘fucking cunt’. Good thing there were asterisks there, otherwise it might have shocked them.

Oh great. I’m so gullible I should apply for work in the SIS.

INdeed, Cactus. I did wonder when I read this post if proposing the inadverent recepient was taking a profuse apology a bit far.

Sounds like you have aman crush on the ginga. You boys should stop all that macho stuff and get on with it.

Well it’s to let to tell them to ‘just get a room’ . . .

If the bloke checking the mini bar was a dinkum Australian he would have laughed uproariously after hearing DPF’s apology. But he was probably a “new” Australian and would not understand the delightful antipodean wit.

Opening the door without knocking?!
I’d imagine DPF yelling profanities was about the least exciting thing to have happened to the guy.
If a hotel staff member did that to me, the resultant abuse would most decidedly be directed at them (and no, not because Shane Jones and I have similar hotel room hobbies
)
