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.

      This may be somewhat out of date but virtually no environmental benefit & almost entirely grass... really? https://www.gigl.org.uk/sinc/sobi09/ Description Peckham Rye was established as an open space in the late 19th century and includes several valuable habitat features spread across the park. The park is a Grade II Listed landscape, and has recently been restored with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A small community garden within the site is managed by the Friends of Peckham Rye. Peckham Rye Park won a Green Flag Award again for 2022. The site is used by the Southwark Health Walks project as part of a Walking the Way to Health (WHI) scheme. Wildlife This large park has several valuable habitat features. The most important of these is the only remaining above-ground section of the River Peck and the most natural stream in the borough. The stream is heavily shaded by native, unmanaged wet woodland dominated by alder, ash and pedunculated oak with a ground cover of pendulous sedge and bramble. Alder dominated woodland is a rare habitat in Southwark. Although somewhat altered with weirs, other artificial structures and ornamental planting, some sections are still in their natural banks and includes yellow flag, watercress, water figwort and cuckooflower. The largest of three ponds supports marginal vegetation including hemp agrimony. A variety of waterfowl nest on the wooded island, including tufted duck, coot, Canada goose and mallard. Substantial flocks of gulls visit the park in winter and bats are likely to forage over the water. Small blocks of predominantly native woodland, mostly on the boundary between the Park and the Common, are dominated by oak and ash with a well-developed understory, but sparse ground flora. Spring bulbs have been planted in previous years. These and several dense shrubberies support a good bird population and small numbers of pipistrelle bats are present. Infrequently mown grassland is located in one large area and was seeded in 2009. It's composition includes giant fescue, ladies bedstraw, meadowsweet, black knapweed and wild carrot. The rest of the park consists of amenity grassland with some fine mature trees.

      Same here. Incredibly selfish behaviour. Also illegal.

      I heard them & our two dogs were extremely upset by it..  bad enough during the evenings but at least can have music on to dilute the noise!   Some people have literally zero thoughts for others!!

      I have signed that petition.  Someone was letting off loud fireworks at about 3 am this morning. They woke me up.   I don’t know where they were exactly but it sounded like they were in the vicinity of Dog Kennel Hill.
