This made me laugh. Yet again Lou your comedy Victor Meldrew style internet persona has hit all the right notes.

That would be 'sheer', not 'shear'. Different word, different meaning. Take a look at Gowers or similar.

I'm not one to uphold a grudge against those who may split their infinitives. But...

Not the same as 'so and so'.

Perhaps it is your 'wont', but for most others that'll be a 'won't', which is a contraction of 'will not'.

I think you'll find that 'I' includes 'personally'.

registration plates?

So you were quoting someone there?


Dear Louisa, how about learning how to use the English language before letting yourself run riot, breaking all the rules.

lousiana, maybe if I were a upstanding pillar of the community like yourself I would be able to master the English language slightly better, but taking my post apart based on the spelling and/or meaning of my words is just snobbish and arrogant, as well you know. Oh well that is just another example of how I clearly wind you up as going a million miles off the topic is something you seem to be able to master far better than any other poster on here. Anyway, better luck next time in trying to wind me up, I think you had better get back to that dictionary before something called 'getting a life' comes and stares you in the face.

:))


Louisa.

BBW: yes, I do from time to time cycle, though my current steed is covered in a thick layer of dust, which perhaps indicates how frequently I cycle. I have most recently been hiking (Wye Valley) rather than cycling.


Louisa: I don't own a dictionary. Dictionaries are for people who entertain doubts concerning spelling.

See that Louisa, "These boots are made for walking and that's just what they'll do and if you don't check your grammar one day these boots are gonna walk all over you".

Geez lousiana, think that's fairly harsh to break down someone's post and analyse to an inch of it's life. Does anyone really care? I mean, it's obviously got right up your nose but Louisa was having a rant so misuse of words probably wasn't at the forefront of her mind. Geez as I type this I'm feeling rather paranoid that I screw up but I've always been a bit rebellious so ............skjhakdissufdsjfjccn ;-)
But Louisa, if you feel it's your right to honk your horn and express your feelings then you can't argue that the cyclist can't express his anger back. I'm sure if he had a big **** off horn, he would honk back instead of banging yor window but if you put it out there, generally you will get it back.


I definitely don't agree with that comment. Dictionaries are great. Expanding vocabulary and playing a home-made version of Call My Bluff are two things they are good for. Also useful for finding the origin of words. Useful to most people with a passing interest in language.


Anyway, as you were.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
