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....:)

    • Some foxes are very tame. The foxes that live near the electricity sub-station thing on the corner of Calton and Woodwarde will happily walk up to you/passed you. They are some of the best looking foxes around so clearly being well-fed - glorious coats and bushy tails but interested in humans and keen to engage/be fed rather than being scared.
    • Let’s not all get scared of the foxes now. Most likely explanation is protecting its den or association with food. We have foxes, and cats and they are no bother to each other. The fox will leave when the cats are out.   
    • I remember seeing something a few years ago on TV about a fox that was actually biting through people's shopping / takeaway food bags.  It was situated in an alleyway.  Not in London.  Very interesting in how the  urban foxes brain development has  been affected by their surroundings.   Not an exact quote from Darwin.  It's the adaptable that survive / not the strongest or the most intelligent.   I would be worried if a fox came close me.   Because they might be after my fur babies and they carry a lot of nasties.   Although they look beautiful from a distance or on a 🎄 card.  
    • Driving down Lordship lane around 2.45pm today saw a v sick looking fox walking in and out of the crowd.
