:furious: HISTORY OF SWEARING FOUND IN FORTEAN TIMES
Yes folks its true, those foul fingered people at Fortean Towers have been soiling our pure virginal minds for years. Unecessary and subliminal swear words are being leaked into the pages of our beloved Fortean Times. And the result: Only yesterday I chased a cat out of my garden shouting "f**k-off and stop sh**ing on my lawn you feline f**ker.
Whilst researching through back issues of FT for a thread in the conspiracy pages I came across this, (those of a nervous disposition should not read any further, you have been warned):
". . . set about his idea of a revolution, destroying all machinery, raising a thug army, bankrupting the economy, taking any woman he wanted and generally becoming a pain in his subjects' collective arse ."
This quote was taken from the Strange Tales section of FT27, (autumn 1978). This small item is credited with the initials RJMR, could these perhaps be the initials of one Bob Rickard and if so then this conspiracy of corruption reaches to the very top and not with Barry B******* Baldwin alone. Conspiracy or coincidence you say, coincidence or conspiracy has twenty-three letters I say.
Have any other readers of FT come across the use of unecessary filthy words in issues of FT. Perhaps it is time David Sutton as the new editor of our magazine should come clean or maybe he is simply a patsy for dark actors elswhere. Personally I am organising an unruly mob and building a ducking stool.
(Apologies: I sincerely apologise for the use of the word ARSE in this post and any offence the use of ARSE may have caused. ARSE is not a word I would normally use, although I might use the word ARSE when drunk instead of bum, bottom or derrier. However I am sober and so would not dream of using the word ARSE. I thankyou).
