Same here, and no facebook either!

Is it any less pointless than Facebook?

Well it's got a "+" after the name - that must be good for something... 
Not touching this either...

It's hard enough persuading people to use Google on this site, let alone the '+' version.

Yes, but not heavely. so far I like the simple and clean user interface, same with new Gmail it nice and clean now.
I know Orkut is not popular here but It was very popular in India (Main reason Gmail overtook Yahoo Mail), they should come up with something to migrate the data into Google+. Let's see or I will have to just delete the account there. I still have more freiends in Orkut than Facebook (I havent logged in since ages) and not everyone is using Google+.

On it but not using it. It's slick but I can't think of a reason to use it right now. So like my Facebook and Twitter accounts it's sitting there gathering dust.

I know what this means and in what context you use it, but I was wondering if anyone knows where the term comes from. How did one come to concatenate both terms and using them in a manner that gives a different meaning all together?
Just curious, my colleague just used the term a few seconds ago and my mind went rumbling

I was always of the opinion it was a derivation of 'By Our Lady' (meaning the Virgin Mary), and was used as an oath by knights going to battle during the crusades.

Thanks, but it doesn't explain how "bloody" and "hell" came together.
It was useful however, because I thought bloody surely meant something like: "a lot of blood", although still valid, it could have another origin.
V.

It sort of does.
Bloody is just an intensifier, like chuffing or f***ing.
You can stick it in front of any other profanity, or word.
It was very rude, now it is more polite than at least one of the others I mention.
People would say 'hell'. If they were really annoyed they would say 'bloody hell'.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

In the same way that 'bloody' was once considered rude, use of the word 'hell' was considered blasphemous and so you often find derivations using 'heck' or another word instead.

I read up about 'bloody' some years ago.
Lots of arguing about its origins, with some wildly different theories put forwards.
Bloke who used to sit behind us as a kid used to bellow out "chuffing hell fire" at almost everything.

I worked with a guy who could swear like no other.
He would come out with some fantastic terms.
Here are a few that stuck with me...
"David Beckham really is the shiniest of polished turds"
"That Rob Smith in sales has a face like a prolapsed womb"
"Getting a drink out of him is like scratching a wank-stain from hotel curtain"
He was marvellous, he had hundreds saying like this.

I know. We'll have to have another off-line soon. I'll be back on the Friday night Luton run from August next week.
