I just saw that I used 'too' instead of 'to' in a sentence where the context demanded that I use 'to'!


What next? I fear that it's but a short step to starting to use 'their', 'there' and 'they're' inappropriately, finally followed by 'loose' and 'lose'.

Sherwick you should be shagging well ashamed of yourself, never mind what the rest of the crush say.

Let it never happen again, this is after all East Dulwich not bastard Romford.

Huguenot. Dilemma. Huge horns. Did I find myself on them? Did I hell. I launched myself onto them.

Cease the entanglement with the over-refined I beg you and be philosophical on the matter. I know I will be.

Their but for the grace of God go I.

And you could of, if things'd of worked out differently.

It's just where life takes us of course.

And there's HB in all sorts of hot water:


"you could of, if things'd of worked out differently"


It shouldn't be 'of' of course, but 'have', or an artfuly placed apostrophe to denote missing letters and generate 'could've'.


As in "I have done something in my trousers" or "I could have done something in my trousers" or "I could've made a message there..."

That would not be a conditional.


And I think what you are looking for would be something like "I was used to doing something, and then..."

PGC - I'm afraid I disagree with your marking, is there an appeal committee?


Huguenot - half of me is covered in shame and simpering apologetically, and the other half is thinking 'the lying get'. That said, I usually use the irony to take wrinkles out of my clothes, so am not to be considered an authority.


Sherwick, see me after class. Bring your stockholder certificates and a copy of the AGM.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Messaging, messaging, messaging. That's all it boils down to. There are only so many fiscal policies out there, and they're there for the taking, no matter which party you're in. I hate to say it, but Farage gets it right every time. Even when Reform reneges on fiscal policy, it does it with enough confidence and candidness that no one is wringing their hands. Instead, they're quietly admired for their pragmatism. Strangely, it's exactly the same as Labour has done, with its manifesto reverse on income tax, but it's going to bomb.  Blaming the Tories / Brexit / Covid / Putin ... none of it washes with the public anymore  - it wants to be sold a vision of the future, not reminded of the disasters of the past. Labour put itself on the back foot with its 'the tories fucked it all up' stance right at the beginning of its tenure.  All Lammy had to do (as with Reeves and Raynor etc) was say 'mea culpa. We've made a mistake, we'll fix it. Sorry guys, we're on it'. But instead it's 'nothing to see here / it's someone else's fault / I was buying a suit / hadn't been briefed yet'.  And, of course, the press smells blood, which never helps.

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.
