Idiots,fools and naughty words.

[Firestorm]

I support your sentiment. But would like to add that 'cretin' refers to someone with hypothyroidism and 'mong' refers to someone with Downs. The words have become insults but I wouldn't use them this way because of their original meanings.

I like to call people names though, especially in cases like the OPs where it's thoroughly deserved. I usually stick to synonyms for sexual organs. For example. 'You **cking di***ead.'

Edit: I thought the forum software would auto-edit the swearing.

Does anyone have any more imaginative call names for the idiots inflicting their nobbery on @postman 's MIL?

Cockwombles ?

Sorry you're having to dealt with the ineptitude of officialdom and "the computer says..."

If it's any consolation, their main competitors (run by the beardy bloke who also can't run a railway) are equally bad in our experience. When we moved here we had them come to put the phone line and interweb in. It took over 3 weeks and numerous mobile calls before someone who knew what they were doing came out and had it sorted in half an hour, while the three "engineers" who'd been out previously hadn't even managed to get a line into the house and were trying to get the BT box working...

My mother is fuming at British Gas Homecare at the moment... and you don’t want to get on the wrong side of the midget in a pinny.

Might be able to help with that??
