Th* K*ng's Sp**ch

Hatch went to see today it for the second time in two days, with a friend this time. She's still rhapsodising about it.

A good history lesson well presented.

Cuntychops?

ETA: That was in response to Hen's post of course...

[loCAtek]

I could swear like a sailor; since I am one.



Modesty forbids.


Without modesty, I guess all goes.

[The Hen]

Funnily enough, I have often called Gob "Cunty-chops" or "Mr Flaps", whenever his beeriod is acting up and he is behaviour like a shirt-lifter!

I am modest in most respects, and with language in most settings, but not at work - my boss and I both drop f-bombs on a fairly regular basis. We are prosecutors dealing with some unbelievable assholes in the defense bar - it can't be helped. Of course we watch ourselves in earshot of the public and in court, but within the four walls of our office: Fuckity fuck fuck fuckin fuck! Fucker! It's a harmless way of letting off steam, and I will not be ashamed.

[Guinevere]

Fuck is my favorite curse word, followed closely by fucker.

The Queen has appeared to have given her blessing to the Oscar-nominated film The King's Speech, which portrays her father King George VI.

The BBC's Rajesh Mirchandani said Her Majesty is understood to have had a private screening of the film and is said to have found it moving.

The story details her father's battle against his speech impediment and also shows a young Princess Elizabeth.

Screenwriter David Seidler said the approval was the ultimate honour.

The Queen Mother, who was married to King George VI, once asked Mr Seidler not to make the film, our correspondent added.

"When her mother asked me 30 years ago to wait, because the memory of these events were still too painful, I understood the intense feelings that were involved," he said.

"And now that the film has been written and made with love, and respect, and admiration, the fact that Her Majesty has recognised this is incredibly and wonderfully gratifying."

Mr Seidler could win an Oscar and a Bafta for his screenplay as the film leads the nominations for both awards.

"I don't take this stuff lightly, but in the context of this film, it could not be more edifying, more appropriate," he (Firth) told The Hollywood Reporter.

"It's not vicious, it's not an insult or it's not in any of the contexts which might offend people.

"Really, it's about a man who's trying to free himself through the use of certain words.

"I still haven't met the person who would object, so I think the film should stand as it is."
