I remember a particularly rainy camping holiday in Devon when I was younger. We'd finished our dinner and dad had polished off a few lagers and had fallen asleep.


Whilst he slumbered he was letting off a string of involuntary yet comical farts that me and my younger brothers attempted to decipher using Morse code.


We didn't get far.

Yes, I do.


Although I admit to chiding a few forum members for their selfish dereliction of the English language I don't like the word pedant as it conjures up images of speccy academics pouring over the works of another fellow boffin whilst tutting their way through all the simple grammatical errors.


I'm very rarely combative as I'm usually quite a laid back kinda guy.....I have my moments though.....when Sean's around.

Ok, that's fine, if not coming across as particularly laid back.

And getting a little off the whole farting topic here, but could you please let me know how i'm guilty, in any way, of the 'selfish dereliction of the English language'??!

Plus i can't be held responsible of what images get conjured up in your head when i write a simple word like 'pedant', underlined or not.

I don't remember singling out any one on particular to come and see me after class to go over their spelling panda boy but if it seemed like that then you're obviously a better reader than I am.


I don't for one minute blame you for the images that may or may not pop up in my head panda boy but I will please ask you not to bring up the word pedant again.


It's most offensive, especially to an academic man of letters such as myself.

No, you didn't single any one out in particular, but you gave the impression that i was getting a bbw 'chiding', i was just wondering what got your back up, that's all?


And as offensive as the 'p' word is to you, feeling like i'm being accused of 'a selfish dereliction of the English language' as you put it, is offensive to me.


I'm glad you don't blame me for the images.


Anyway, this thread should return to it's true subject of farting...

You have brought back memories that I am trying to permanently erase from my memory bank, paticularly in this case as I was the, er, victim...much to the joint pleasure of xxxx and her friend Gemma:(


I never did return to their flat for some reason....:)

    • Hi Merry Christmas no joy with that Paul Hackett email thanks 
    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor?

Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
