I'm trying to get creative at swearing at my computer using Irish and English slang. Example: Well, you've just burned my bollocks, Computer. Don't be such a cheeky toerag! If I'm going to be swearing at it (which I am) I might as well have fun while I do it. <em>Les Says: All I wanna know right now, Cardio"girl", is where do you keep your bollucks?! LOL!
