So all those thousands of hours protesting outside South Africa House in Trafalgar Square during the 1970's where in vain? Read an interesting internet debate 2 years ago on the most prominent UK Black Forum when 2 Moderators asked "Why was it nearly always only "Whites" that bothered to protest!" The answers were "many and varied" to say the least!::o

Fiery Jack has got hold of our Moos(?)(6) Return her, at once, to her spiritual home, you fiend(!) p.s Moosy did you notice the "space" after those comma's? Are you proud of me or what?(tu)

Getting hoist by my own petard,particularly when driving. Blackwall Tunnel Northbound (Friday Night-probably other times) where the traffic is regulated by 2 lights near the Tunnel. Invariably one is travelling at Maximum speed with barely another car in sight until "The Greenwich Peninsula" and then nearly every bleedin' time a mass of cars bumper to bumper created by whoever is playing with those ****ing lights. (Tip for fellow Forumites-Stay in Outside Lane-will bring you up to, virtually, the mouth of the Tunnel whereas Inside Lane(s) have to compete with traffic joining from slip roads b4 the Tunnel. :B+++ARDS.:X:X

Moos Wrote: In that case, Tony, allow me to point out that it is customary to insert a space after typing a comma and before starting the next word. Pint? My profoundest and eternal gratitude.:)) p.s. 'ere whaddyamean "Pint?"...Pint who/what/how? You come on here with "Pint" and then disappear over the distant horizon, wotsitallabout?::oB)

What Sir William Bryson and David Mc said.:)) Currently reading "A Short History Of Nearly Everything"..."majestically inspirational"-TLS>:D<

Keef Wrote: I think we live on through what we do, be it have kids, make good art, play great music, or generally just be nice to people so they say "suchandsuch was a top fella wasn't he" whilst chatting about you in the pub. Other than that, I guess death is death. I think your being optimistic Keef.At best down the Pub it will probably be: "Have you heard?" "Heard what M8?" "Billy Fry!-Dead!" "Whaaat!! No!" "Yeah! Brown Bread! Last night-sudden heart attack!" "Cor-Blimey,who would have thought,eh? He was a good egg,was Billy." "Just shows yer.." PAUSE... "Anywayz who is up for a game of pool?" "I'll join you, "Charlie,2 Pints please me old M8!".... The End.

Moos Wrote: I saw that one, Tony, but felt I don't know you well enough to point it out. B)To be honest the only thing that will offend me is if I can't havean affectionate laugh with someone within 10 minutes of meeting them initially.If someone doesn't feel "safe" with me a.s.a.p. then I have failed miserably. There's not too much in this life that I take too seriously,certainly not myself.:)) So next time feel free!(tu)

Can't we use Nominative,Accusative,Dative and Genetive Tenses like the good old days? Pluperfect anyone?

SeanMacGabhann Wrote: I wonder how much of Tony from the Burbs arguments are never taken on board purely because his approach to layout and punctuation remain so... idiosynchratic Yet it many years of contributing to other fora that Subject has rarely,if ever,been mentioned which is perplexing to say the least.Even in this thread I wrote:- "People can't learn basic English Grammer which simply infuriates me!.........2 Edited 10 time(s). Last edit was today, 12:56pm by Tony.London Suburbs. I've learned to minimalise "irony" on here though! I deliberately spelt "Grammar" incorrectly and on a thread entitled "Grammar, punctuation and syntax irritations" I "edited" 10 times ONE SENTENCE in 4 minutes,as a joke(like) and nothing,niet,null response:)) Sometimes you cannae win Son:))

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way that you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity. Whyshould I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval,somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well. Keep The Faith>:D<

ClareC Wrote: My understanding of the thread is that they did (miss out)....... but one forumite thought another had said they didnt miss out, so subsequently chastised said forumite for being rude, when they hadnt been rude, which in turn caused confusion, and then a subsequent apology to the accused forumite from the forumite that made> the rude allegation......(tu) then to add to the fun AcedOut said "Yikes, I wish I kept my mouth shut now! *runs for cover*" after the other Party who had misrepresented his comments had apologised.:)) which added to the muddy waters. Basically the Guys who missed last time did,indeed,miss out:'( Its a certainity what will happen next. All the Males hearing the extremely healthy ratio will turn up en masse(I've already hired 2 mini-buses myself)B) and the Females disappointed by the same previous ratio will not bother to turn up at all:X ...so there will be 50 likely lads boozing it up talkig about last nights footie::o

I believe in life after death. Seeing a loved Man on the mortuary slab stone cold with no Heart,Soul,Spirit or physicality remaining there it seems clear to me that they have gone to a better place(tu)

Sorry. Can we establish one thing here.Did the Men who did not turn up miss out or not? Just that I'm easily confused.

All this "a nods as good as a Wink to a blind bat" malarkey..??....surely winking doesn't make you go blind eventually does it Guys? Must be a few on here that would know...Mockney any idea me old M8:)

Asset Wrote: Isn't the one I used above a wink then? Admittedly,I'm not from these parts but from where I come from thats not my idea of someone Winking,one feels compelled to say. Looking content nae pleased I will grant you, but Winking ? Its hard to tell sometimes but I suggest NOT! Sir! ...though it might be,you can't always tell these days....

Hona:I will admit that I do like to end proceedings with the occasional Wink.Its just frustrating that one isn't able to do so here. Thats all I'm saying.:-S
