    I just keep hearing the word "anal". As in ass.

    Language is a evolving thing. Let it be. If the BDOTGNZA were around in Shakepears time I'd still be saying "forsooth" instead of "fuck". Now I don't know about you, but I for one know which one I prefer to yell when I catch my nuts in my zipper.

    Surely "Egads, my nads!" would be a more poetic utterance?

    The word fuck predates forsooth. It came across to the UK when the Saxons invaded. (Before the UK even spoke Danish let alone when Danish became olde english!)

    The letters still stand for Auckland Savings Bank in my mind, as it does with others...

    Well, you're wrong. Auckland Savings Bank was officially renamed ASB Trust Bank in the 1980s and more recently the word "Trust" was dropped. It is wholly-owned by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

    You are correct that it has gone through several "rebranding" excercises namewise, but I fail to see how I'm wrong when in my mind I still refer to the "ASB" component of the name.
    After having spent quite some considerable time, years ago, banking with Auckland Savings Bank, the name has stuck.

    Perhaps that is so...but who is worried about uttering Form 1 rhyming poetry, when one's less-distant extremities are suffering a world of hurt???
    FUCK!!! - does for me
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    They've been capable of levitation - some sort of antigrav - since the Sylvester McCoy days; the new lot not only have antigrav, the central segment that houses the weapon can now traverse 360 degrees so they're more like a tank than a mobile howitzer.

    Then there's short range space flight, time travel capabilities, force fields that vaporise bullets and some really nasty methods of literally extracting information...

    Somebody's got a decent Special Effects budget...

    I am sick of acronyms.
    I dislike the unnecesary, inapproriate, over use of acronyms. I dislike it worse when the retards using them get them wrong (pin number etc) they are a very simplistic device that I fail to see how they can be used so wrongly. Then other people use them, incorrectly.

    I propose the banning of any further acronyms. If not through the kiwibiker slutocracy, then through vigilante action. What ever you have to, if it involves tracking someone down and writing all over there car or letter box in acronyms, talking in acronyms, just rid the world of it.

    As i first said i will let you lot off for your name which i'd liek to think is a piss take of acronym users, in exhange for letting me off for my hack handed speed typoing filled with errors that my grandfather would roll in his grave if they ever found the body.
