Very little shocks me, especially not bad language, but I believe it has its place. Someone mentioned Derek and Clave, which I absolutely love, but a few months ago I went to watch some local bands. Between songs, they were swearing a lot, calling people cunts and shouting fuck off a lot. It ruined the gig because it just made them look amateur or like they were trying to shock people.
They looked, for want of a better term, like a bunch of cunts.

Actually, Procter & Gamble have (or had) a good employee pension scheme, share-puchase scheme and a highly regarded canteen, at least in the Newcastle headquaters, which is one of their main European bases.
None of which matter to me :D Working for Procter & Gamble = Emotional Death.
Imagine spending most of your waking hours researching advances in the market for shampoos or detergent, or product placement in the current Tesco stores, etc, etc.
I’ll take a job working in a pub or a bookshop over that any day.

They had some fit birds there too - does that sway you, even just a little?
Casual swearing annoys me - when there’s some prat f’ing and blinding in the queue in Sainsbury’s say. Otherwise, I think Andy summed it up quite well in his notes to DLAMF

You can meet more fit birds working in a pub ;) I guess that’s cool though, but not a dealbreaker. I don’t generally attract that kind of woman anyway. Too many teeth :p

There is a very fit redhead working in our local at work. I smiled at her the other day, she didn’t smile back.
Mind you, she really is quite sexy in a sulky, pouty sort of way, so maybe she just doesn’t smile.
Alternatives to swearing
We have a Kiwi at work who was intrigued by the word ‘Numpty’
Can’t remember when or where, but Andy referred to someone as a Clampett in an interview once, which quite amused me.
For the avoidance of doubt, I never actually worked for P&G.

The women’s full of beautiful women, and I’m looking for a special one… or a bunch of average ones. Either way I’m happy ;)
So you’ve worked for Procter & Gamble? What was that like?

It was as exciting as it sounds.

Always reminds me of when he called a member of the audience a Clampett at the Astoria gig, December 2004, after someone shouted out a request for Here Be Monsters… which they’d already played.

Youngs brewery in London used to make a product called Double Chocolate Stout which tasted a bit like the bastard son of Guinness and Old Peculier on speed and apparently used real dark chocolate in the recipe.
It was very nice as I remember but a bit like a vindaloo - very nice at the time but you kind of regret it 6 hours later.
Absolutely beautiful stuff. They’ve stopped making it now - i bagged the last few cans at tesco the other week! :)

That’s when I’m thinking of, not an interview at all!

I used to think so, but not anymore. Everytime I go back to Dublin and here all the local scumbags swearing it just grates my ears.
Hmmm, same in Southend.
I guess there is no answer: could be ‘yes’ could be ‘no’ depending on the circumstances.
So I’ll just sit on the fence with my own poll…!:)
