Yes. I dont think your a Nazi; we want to hear all of Daddles comments.;)
I was merely trying to prod the axe weilding one into some action Madam Tikki :D (hence consigning this thread to Open Slather :rolleyes: )

Well if Zed was a real monkey he'd have a tall tail. ;)
WOODIES' JOKES Heard a good joke about woodworking lately? Seen a good comic strip? Maybe know a tall tale or two that can even be true? Let's hear it from you.
Then again, see "I say potatoes and you say potato's" (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...982324,00.html) and "Grammar Puss" (http://pinker.wjh.harvard.edu/articl...wrepublic.html)
Clearly that last line is wrong, the sentence is addressing the group, plural, so should be 'Let's hear it from youse'.Quote:

A bit like throwing stones whilst living in glass house, I think.
Peter, who is decidedly anti spelling Nazies.

Give every contributor free rein to express himself, we usually manage to make our points quite clearly.
Or herself Brother Jack, and I want the right to have babies...............Bloody Romans.Quote:

I wonder if the Romans ever thought of having ID cards?
Roads, piped water, baths, sewarge systems, Benny, and lots more.(Mainly in Angleterre) Also bloody latin which I was supposed to learn at school.(Well it was a long time ago!)
LORETTA:
I want to have babies.
REG:
You want to have babies?!
LORETTA:
It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
REG:
But... you can't have babies.
LORETTA:
Don't you oppress me.
REG:
I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!
LORETTA:
[crying]
JUDITH:
Here! I-- I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the right to have babies.
FRANCIS:
Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.
REG:
What's the point?
FRANCIS:
What?
REG:
What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?!
FRANCIS:
It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
REG:
Symbolic of his struggle against reality.
[trumpets]
[clap clap clap]
XERXES:
The aqueduct.
REG:
Oh. Yeah, yeah. They did give us that. Uh, that's true. Yeah.
COMMANDO #3:
And the sanitation.
LORETTA:
Oh, yeah, the sanitation, Reg. Remember what the city used to be like?
REG:
Yeah. All right. I'll grant you the aqueduct and the sanitation are two things that the Romans have done.
MATTHIAS:
And the roads.
REG:
Well, yeah. Obviously the roads. I mean, the roads go without saying, don't they? But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct, and the roads--
COMMANDO:
Irrigation.
XERXES:
Medicine.
COMMANDOS:
Huh? Heh? Huh...
COMMANDO #2:
Education.
COMMANDOS:
Ohh...
REG:
Yeah, yeah. All right. Fair enough.
COMMANDO #1:
And the wine.
COMMANDOS:
Oh, yes. Yeah...
FRANCIS:
Yeah. Yeah, that's something we'd really miss, Reg, if the Romans left. Huh.
COMMANDO:
Public baths.
LORETTA:
And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now, Reg.
FRANCIS:
Yeah, they certainly know how to keep order. Let's face it. They're the only ones who could in a place like this.
COMMANDOS:
Hehh, heh. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.
REG:
All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
XERXES:
Brought peace.
REG:
Oh. Peace? Shut up!
I was going to post "splinters!!" but I reminded myself of David Brent (The Office), which is a bit sad, so I changed my mind.
Back on topic: "Sewage", or "sewerage".:)Quote:

You lose, Zen!!Quote:
puntuation
I think my first post to this thread meets those criteria and so therefore I proclaim myself the winner. :D
Nah Grammar is wrong (not Grampa)Quote:

What I hate about English is the debateable rules, lol Maths is pure!
I disagree, there is nothing at all wrong with "so therefore I proclaim myself ..."
If anything, it could use a comma between "therefore" and "I" but it is optional.
However, I was referring to my first post to this thread which, as I have said, contains neither spelling, grammar, nor punctuation errors - none of my making anyway. :p
:Pompous mode off:
:D
I know but had to have a go anyway, lol.
Otherwise I'd have to get on with XXXX here, perish the thought.
Don't mention the 'W' word. You have to spell it out around here. W O R K. So you don't upset anyone.
It should be censored. Perhaps W**K? Actually that could mean something else.:eek:Quote:
