Nah I agree there's nothing wrong with using swear words in your text.

Not to sound like a stick in the mud, well, partially to be a stick in the mud, but wouldn't the reviewing body check for plagiarism, and in posting excerpts here, you could be in risk of endangering your possible position, by having them up on the web, whether it was you who wrote it or not?


Anywho, I see a lot of angst in the monologue, which to be honest, is pretty easily done. You do, however, do it well, except towards the end. You're also short a couple commas in some places - between "sodding" and "bloody" (awesome use of the term, may I add) is one of them. Also,, too much use of the word "and."

The prose looks like fun, though.

Loc: My house. Actually it's a card...
Personally (and this is just my opinion so don't take it the wrong way!) I think it's got potential, but that it hasn't quite realised that it does! If that makes sense.

Basically, I like the message, it's something i can relate to and it's well put across. But it builds so much momentum, sounding so promising, and then...nothing. It's a bit anti-climatic for me. It's like you have this message to say, but you never quite have the..oomph to fully put it across! You attack this system so thoroughly it almost feels stifling.
I don't know, maybe if you add that extra 50 words or so it'll make a difference?

I could be completely wrong, of course. Just an idea!
