I promise you Patrick, I won't use that word if ever there! I do know how to
behave in polite society.

I subconsciously think/thought so too.

Not by 'alf! But 'living dangerously' I unwittingly do on a regular basis
and always perceive it (after the hurtful event) as 'living stupidly' ...
This in line with my credo that heroes are more stupid than I can ever hope
to be.
On the whole ... No offence intended and the W-word was simply used to
describe myself as an outsider/intruder in this admirable company of poets
writing in English ...
