It's hardly offensive language - listen to Radio One at the moment, Six weeks of Summer with their life's a beach and life's a b***h thing that they are running.
The word 'p**s' is used by them as well..........

Certain words I readily accept as offensive ( Michael Portillo for example), but that one? No, I can't - it's just a word........

Fair enough, and I'm not a parent so I don't have these things to consider but it does remind of a bit of Bill Bailey's stand up:

“I don’t know anything about Afghanistan, but I know it’s full of terrorists, speaking as a mother.” So what is this "speaking as a mother" then? Is it a euphemism for "well, talking out of my ****"? "Suspending rational thought for a moment"? As a rational human being, Al-Qaeda are a loose association of fundamentalist zealots who could be rounded up with a sustained police investigation. But speaking as a parent, they’re all eight foot tall, they’ve got lasers under their moustaches, a huge eye in their foreheads and the only way to kill them is to nuke every country that hasn’t sent us a Christmas card in the the last 20 years. Speaking as a mother…

Hehe, just made me laugh when I heard it

I have a t shirt that has been known to offend a few people

Caused a big furore a couple of years ago when a photo of me wearing it was published in the SOC magazine.

I would stick a pic of it on here, but it's got a definitely non U rated word on it
