While I realised that this was probably the case it didn't for a moment make me feel that I shouldn't correct you.

Depends what the petition was - if it was in a petition looking to support better education (ie one I agree with) then yeah of course I would correct them - they look silly


Ifit was a petition to stop spelling nazis (which I mostly agree with) then no I wouldn't - I would assume it was ironic


Typo = fine

Can't spell = fair enough

Can spell but are too lazy to correct? = hmmmmmmm

Wow, Tony, that was actually quite spiteful. Are you having a bad day? Would you have preferred it if I had not said I liked David? I am sorry if I offended you by doing so, I have no bone to pick with you here.

All I'm asking Dear Moos is that you :


Take me under your wing,

be my mother, my sister.

Take my head to your breast,

my banished prayers to your nest.


One merciful twilight hour,

hear my pain, bend your head........


Just for one merciful hour I would like to be at the heart, the nucleus, the very epi-centre of this Universe...thats not to much for a Man to ask, schurely?::o

At the drinky-poos?


Great idea but I only have to conduct my Business on Friday Nights and much of Saturday and the rest of the week is mine.


The drinks are rightly on a Friday as thats by far the most convenient day so "C'est La Vie"...

Moos I like you.


You are a clever, witty Forumite.


Its just that as I highlighted Sir David's derogatory comments addressed to me and you then joined in to say how much you liked david then I thought you were havin' a pop at yer old M8 Tony Boy:))....you can see the "logic" behind my view!

However as I'm wrong I'm sorry!


"Bad Day"..No! Really the opposite.

My Jamaican Ladyfriend has returned to stay with me for 2/3 of the week on a regular basis and my Business and her seperate business are both going better.


I've got to make an enormous decision by 1/3/09 so thats playing on my mind for sure at the moment and I don't know exactly what will be decided.


So:)-D

Ah it makes sense now, so you believe his comments about you were derogatory, therefore the comments

...david should get a life

...he is a pedant, snob, displays a sneering superciliousness and superior air by writing this.

...the hallmark of rather an unpleasant character


were actually your comments about him. That's just rude.

I've said all that needs to be said Mark but its refreshing in a World where ill feeling can sometimes prevail that if someone made, what you perceived as, "derogatory" comments to you or your loved ones that you would not reply, in kind.


Thats an admirable quality and I for one applaud you.(tu)


You are truly a Saint and I, for one, am defintely not worthy!


p.s. Thanks, for giving this badinage a little "stir" for the second time.


Appreciated by all parties, I'm sure.(tu)

      Shower enclosure installation

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By yaymukund · Posted

      Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
