Man able to write well without using industrial quantities of industrial language shock. Writers/performers who use bad language: Chaucer, Joyce, Cook & Moore, Welsh, Ellroy, Marlon James etc, etc ... Writer who does not use bad language: Barbara Cartland. How do you boys cope with football stadia? Curiously, I don't hear language anywhere near as 'colourful' as that at JWW - hardly any swearing at all in fact. Not even on the North Bank at UP was it quite as full-on as that. I'm not against swearing, in its place it's fine, and even out of it's place it can be funny. But in quantity it just gets tedious. |

You don't read Babs, you ingest her. I bet she was a dirty bitch when she was younger If I say I reckon she banged like a sh**house door in a gale, would that fall foul of a Jacob Rees Mogg style guide? |

This made me question whether "a Jacob Rees Mogg style guide" isn't an oxymoron. But, there again, I could be thinking of - and using - the wrong word. |
