In response to Re Is this legal? (Eddie Trebus)

No, the days of the queens english are long gone,

Ah...the days when 'gay' meant 'happy' and 'wicked' meant 'evil'........
The days when 'nincompoop' was a swear word and your father wouldn't have used the 'F-word' if aliens had landed on the roof of your house.

In 1528 Britain, a monk wrote in his diary, and I quote, 'Fucking Abbot, D--- him!'
It seems that he was angry enough to use the 'F-word', yet still could not bring himself to write the word 'Damn'.

It's called 'evolution', mate. All languages change and evolve. Your grandfather should stop his grave-spinning and just roll another 'doby'.
