Whew! I feel so much better . . .

Now that is what I call exquisite rage. I was laughing so hard, I had to read it twice to get the full "flavor". The next time I run into a cretin from tech support, I plan to paraphrase the diatribe. Might also serve as a standard letter to politicians of any stripe who fail to meet people's needs.

Your question seem illicit in a feeble attempt to elicit the response that only agrees with your opinions ( which are not deemed worthy of our managements bother ).

Thank you for writing to us! harhar.gif

As for the British letter, I was following along quite well, even though I read many lines twice because of losing my place due to uncontrollable fits of laughter, until the very last word! Please, translate "Twat", in a 'family-friendly' way, if possible. "Twit", I'm familiar with, but not "Twat". Is that, perhaps a plural form of "Twit"? dntknw.gif

I fully support the idea of a "Complaint Hall of Shame" web site. However, I fear there are two problems:
1. How could the 'letters' be verified? There are probably thousands of under-employed writers and want-a-be's out there who could easily create bogus letters, thus reducing any legal impact.
2. How would any CEO/President of any large company ever see the site? Do these super-cretins now have slave-cretins to operate their computers? rolleyes.gif

As Bob K said.... there's no family-friendly way of translating that word. Let's just say that the alternative is one that even Hollywood uses only very, very rarely.. wink.gif

There is a "slang" dictionary with all you could ever want to know along with much you would never, ever want to know - and many I've never even heard of. I'm sending the url to admin, since I'd rate it as not family friendly and would rather run it past them first.

I'm going to be out rest of day so, if it IS considered OK, perhaps someone could post the link?

Thanks in advance.

FYI: The Focus Ghia thread is now on its third page....

No problem. I've manged to communicate without using the word for some 63.5 years, no real need that I can see for learning it now. smile.gif
