What drives me nuts

Hi John,
What drives me nuts is the way so many places turn their air conditioning as far down as possible. For example, on Monday when the temperature was below twenty degrees here in Canberra, I went in to a shopping centre which was at least four degrees colder!

Where did the “driving me (my) nuts” joke go??

If you wish to make those kind of references, I’m sure Mick would be more than happy to have you join him in this discussion.

Sam, may I ask waht the problem is with p*nis and v*gina, when h*ad, sh*ulders, kn*es and t*es are OK? Its not like they are crude or derogotary remarks, and there are plenty of “Where do I come from” style books which are aimed at young children which mention those words.
Personally, I would rather my kids get in the good habit of using those words at a young age, rather than them learning cruder and more offensive words like c*ck, schl*ng, d*ck, c*nt, b*aver, g*sh, p*rple-h*aded-y*ghurt-p*mper or anything else of that ilk from their classmates.

Everyone’s welcome at my blog.
No over the top censorship or comment closures!
Nice post Mr Clam.
I think your name is also an interesting version of one of our favourite words…

I did have a look at your site, Mick, in the hope I could find a recipie for an Ampersand Duck or creamy potato bake. Despite not finding any, I would have stuck around, except I saw your gratuitous use of the word #####. Im all for free speech, Mick, but continually referring to ##### and ######## in your ##### goes far and beyond the realms of good taste. I hope no ###### ever #### your #####! So please, cut down on the ######## and ### and especially the #########!

And for a change it wasn’t me who covered words with the # symbol
