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.

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
