Er, Mick - on this thread:


However, doesn't is spelt with only one O.


Pinhead.



You have been defeated by your spelling by a superior and magnanimous opponent.



Your last post "...that didn't take long" should've at least finished with a full stop.


Pinhead.



Your previous post to that also lacked the appropriate punctuation.


Pinhead.



However,


Your eventual downfall mirrored that of the other pinhead scoffing from afar. You ignored the basic etiquette of a full stop.


Pinhead.



You made the school girl error of starting a sentence with and.


You have no idea how good that just felt.


Pinhead.



Funny though.


Edited again to say that wasn't meant to be mean to BBW, rather to point out the bleeding obvious to MM.

Can I say that really it should have read; "As", "And" or "But".

>>It's them bleeding long-haired poets wot started the rot, I reckon.<<


Well what do you expect from a geezer from Peckham who not only covered house walls in graffiti but could not even spell "tiger"?!


Rupert Brooke had exquisitely-barbered short hair though...

and a better one than you..." B)

On the one and only occasion I had afternoon tea in Grantchester the honey was served in a tiny plastic pot emblazened with the word "Kraft"....so I have to agree with you, even if "and is there jam still for tea?" would be less evocative as well as metrically compromised. But I still say it's ok to begin a sentence with a conjunction.B)

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
