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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
