Mike if this was the song game thread, right now I'd be posting Sloppy (I Saw My Baby Gettin' (sic)) - Devo. Not that I'm implying you're my 'baby' or anything you understand. Not with spelling like that.

Sure, running all the way.

I'm completely ignoring the 'weather' at the moment Mike. But I'm damned if I'm letting the single 'z' in shizzled go. I'm only flesh and blood after all.

Posted by: giggirl Today, 01:12PM It's a slippery slope though isn't it Mikecg? I love the English language and I want to see it used properly. On the other hand, I accept what you say about the spelling Nazis; I've seen instances where people have corrected other people's English in a sly way. It's not clever to belittle people. Who the heck has the time to read everything through three times before posting (I do that for a living, the forum is supposed to be light-relief). I have a growing hatred of texting and it niggles when people write text-speak. Whatever became of the petty annoyances thread? We should get that back up and running. Here it is back for you Giggi. Your obedient servant

You are dyslexic aren't you WMTD? You missed out the 'in'.

I think spelling does matter, maybe not as important on here as when preparing a report/presentation where your professional competence is going to be judged. There isn't a spell checker on here but there is always the dictionary if a word doesn't look right. I don't use the preview function on here very often so I tend to see what I've written after I've posted it, if I've mispelled something then I usually correct it, even if it's an obvious typo such as double-typing a letter or repeating a word. I was brought up to consider myself a 'good speller' so much so that for years I spelt certtain words incorrectly on the basis that if that was how I thought it was spelt then it must be so. I mean 'occaision' for example, and 'dilemna' still looks more correct to me than 'dilemma', but I bow reluctantly to OED on the matter. Naturally none of this applies if you are Nigel Molesworth and of you may of corse du as you pleese.

Salmon for instance, the suggestion entails opening the tin and putting the conrents on a plate. Though I have seen a variation involving a lettuce leaf. I think that was an 'advanced serving suggestion' though.

Death Disco - PIL

Take it easy, but take it. You can add 'man' to the end if you're so inclined.

Them Bones - Alice In Chains

Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel

Born To Run - Frankie Goes To Hollywood

S.F. Sorrow Is Born - The Pretty Things

Man Of Constant Sorrow - Bob Dylan

Always try to see the good in a person. Unless it's Piers Morgan, him you can hoof in the nuts.

Star Star - The Rolling Stones

Thanks for the link JB, just signed up for it and not shamefacedly either. You two'll be sorry when I'm mates with Stephen Fry. Me and him will probably be making private jokes about it when I'm on QI.

Highway Star - Deep Purple I reckon the Purps are far enough away, Sue.

"Would the panel agree that Piers Morgan is the jammiest sod in the world for making a very good living with no discernible talent or skills"? David Dimbleby "Piers Morgan..."?

All you need is Twiglets, Gary Lineker can shove every other 'crisp' up his big-eared arse.

What Sean said. Especially as it was started by WoofMark'IWannaBeYour'Dog. And how many times do I have to tell you to GET OFF THE BASTARD SOFA!

It was thirteen months ago, is it really worth commenting on? Oh...
