Am I just a grumpy old woman and am I AOU in finding the smooch scenes
with Toby and Pip and those with Lilian and whoever equally repulsive?
I'm trying to think whose smooching I would think romantic and lovely.
Usha and the vicar maybe. Ed and Emma. Does it depend who I like? I'm
not sure.

And then there is startrek. Should I add another spoiler?

We watched last Sunday's today and there is finally a m/m couple. The
blonde one is someone I thought was going to be a baddy at first but
he turned out more complicated and mostly good and then right at the
end he and the Dr turned out to be a couple. The scene would have been
romantic but my gripe here was that both are a bit odd looking. Why
did the first m/m c ouple on a starship have to be not conventionally
good-looking and normal looking?

And then there is the woman called Micheal. Her hair is very odd. And
then the fact they killed of the lovely captain in the first episode
and I liked her best and wanted to see more of her, not just as a
hologram.

And another first in this week's spisode, apparently. The first time

Which reminds me to ask umrats for advice. I have been asked to give a
speech at Son's upcoming wedding and I want to tell the story of how,
after many years of conflict with her, he came to realise that his
grandmother was really quite special. I won't bore you with the whole
story but it ended with him saying "My Grandma is so cool - she said fuck!"

Most of the wedding guests will be friends of the couple who won't be at
all shocked by me repeating this and my family won't be. But the bride's
mother - a Texan, who I have yet to meet - is described by Son as "a
real Southern lady" and I don't want to offend her. If I ask Son's
advice it will spoil the effect of the speech on him. I could possibly
ask Future DIL but I don't think we'll get a moment alone before the big
day.

So should I say fuck or "the F word" which is a bit prissy and isn't
what either Son or his grandma actually said?

Whatesed. I don't mean this in a Southernist-Racist sort of way but,
unless she's spent a lot of time studying the English she's not going to
know much about what English Gentlefolk do and say. And within my
somewhat limited experience of English Gentlefolk, my impression is that
they say and do it quite a lot.

The folk to consider are your son and dil. You could follow with widening
of your eyes, open mouth and hand over mouth (for instance) to indicate
there was shock to level grandma. This would enhance the delivery of the
line as unexpected and shocking; at the time, signalling the audience to
laugh. Just a thought.

I think I'd go for when in doubt, say nowt. You are cool enough to
make a witty speech without that particular story :)

Two outcomes if you say it:

a) She has heard it before and so should not be shocked
b) She has never heard it and doesn't understand it. In which case, no
harm done.

Win-win

But in the very unlikely event of b) and since Grandma using the word is
the point of the story, she may then wish to know what it means and why it
had such an effect upon her S-i-L.

Third outcome. She has heard it and cut the speaker and all connected with

Perhaps, pencil in the prissy version, but speak to her as much as
possible _at_ the wedding to try to gauge her reactions - maybe trying
some minor cuss words? (The best would be if some minor mishap occurs
whereat you could be allowed to exclaim, but I don't want to wish
mishaps on you). Surely the couple's mothers will have a lot to talk
about: can you not contact her beforehand (Skype or something)? A reason
must be findable - maybe to ask if she has any allergies if you're
involved in the catering?

_Why_ have you not yet met?

Because she is in Houston and I am in Oxford! I think it would be a
difficult thing to ask her straight out.

But thanks for all the advice, umrats: I've decided that I am
over-thinking this (possibly due to lack of sleep) and will just go with
the flow on the day.

Or borrow something which makes a bleep [or inserts one into the PA, if
one is being used] and use it at the appropriate point (while still
mouthing fuck, for the benefit of any lip-readers).

[May take a little practice.]

We watched last Sunday's today and there is finally a m/m couple. The
blonde one is someone I thought was going to be a baddy at first but
he turned out more complicated and mostly good and then right at the
end he and the Dr turned out to be a couple. The scene would have been
romantic but my gripe here was that both are a bit odd looking. Why
did the first m/m c ouple on a starship have to be not conventionally
good-looking and normal looking?
And then there is the woman called Micheal. Her hair is very odd. And
then the fact they killed of the lovely captain in the first episode
and I liked her best and wanted to see more of her, not just as a

Yes, then I can skip over it.

How do you feel about PDAs in real life? Typically most people are not
keen on seeing parents and the like - so even Ed and Emma should not be
doing it.

Pip and Toby are simply loathsome as individuals, or together, so both
should not exist in Ambridge.

Really? Depends how 'decorous' it is perhaps. I liked seeing my parents hug
and kiss, long after I'd grown out of attempting to join in.

Well, not in front of the children perhaps but a hug and kiss is fine.

I think I'd agree with that. I like to see a nice hug; a kiss is nice
too, as long as it doesn't look like they're about to eat each other.
Basically, affection, yes; foreplay, not really. (As for my parents, I
think the only time they did was when one of him was a bit drunk - which
was a pity, as he was a huggy person really, just of the generation that
was a bit repressed about such matters.)

Am I just a grumpy old woman and am I AOU in finding the smooch scenes
with Toby and Pip and those with Lilian and whoever equally repulsive?
I'm trying to think whose smooching I would think romantic and lovely.
Usha and the vicar maybe. Ed and Emma. Does it depend who I like? I'm
not sure.

How do you feel about PDAs in real life? Typically most people are not
keen on seeing parents and the like - so even Ed and Emma should not be
doing it.

Actually, only one species of frog makes the sound we think of as the
sound of a frog. But, as it's a species that is common around a certain
district of Los Angeles, we've come to think of it as the sound of a
frog ...
