OK, I hear some of you readers saying:
"But The Curmudgeon, Parliament is in Thorndon and we've heard many of those cunts calling other members "cunts" - what's new about that?"
I accept that but point out the existence of the rule of Parliamentary Privilege which encompasses special legal rights, immunities, and powers granted to the House of Representatives and its members that ensure that they can perform their democratic functions without fear of legal consequences. Normally, in Thorndon where I live our members of the community who are not protected by Parliamentary Privilege show gentility and express friendly greetings to our neighbours.
"So what happened in Thorndon today The Curmudgeon?" at least one of you readers asked.
Richard came to lunch.
"Oh no!"
Yes, yes but he did come with his lovely wife Shelley so it could have been worse.
"What did he do, The Curmudgeon?"
He called your friend and informative blogger a cunt!
"What? A cunt?"
Yes, I'm sorry to have to confirm that but he called your friend and informative blogger who has your best interests at heart a cunt. Imagine that?
"That's terrible The Curmudgeon. Did anyone overhear?"
Well that's the thing loyal reader(s), he said that at the dinner table seated next to The Old Girl who is The Curmudgeon's fiercest supporter.
"Whoo - so it didn't go down well for him then?"
Like a lead balloon loyal reader(s), like a lead balloon.
The Old Girl ripped into him with a lecture on how women consider it one of the most offensive, derogatory terms in the English language. They view it as a weapon used to oppress women, reduce them to their genitals, and promote internalised misogyny. To give Richard some credit he bowed his head and seemed to be contrite (although he may have nodded off given his age and everything). Shelley, Richard's wife also gave Richard a bollocking and agreed with The Old Girl.
Richard, under attack from both sides looked over to me for help. I told him that he was on his own there.

Is calling someone a cunt considered a sin in the Catholic church? Robert will know. Ask him, Peter.
Hey, thanks for lunch today. Sorry I forgot to bring the eclairs.
It was good seeing you my friend (probably one of the oldest).
I will take you up on your offer and call around at any time. Just watch your language OK?
I'm not sure if Robert's version of the bible has a Cunt registered. He denied that there was a Shat after all. I guess he might know better than me as Christian Doctrine was the only subject I failed Intermediate and Secondary school (I excelled in it at Primary school and won prizes but, as you know, we didn't know better at that age and were Altar Boys).
