The only time my comments will contain anything close to swearing is next to a no warnings 'once'; line at the top of my code, which is occasionally followed by # sod off. That warning is the single most useless thing ever – it has never ever caught a single mistake of mine but has inconvenienced me plenty.

It might be useful for coding in the absence of the vars stricture (maybe?), but that’s the one stricture I always use.

(I suppose you can tell it annoys me…)

Makeshifts last the longest.
