Well if Zed was a real monkey he'd have a tall tail. ;)

[zenwood]

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/0,,923-1982324,00.html) and "Grammar Puss" (http://pinker.wjh.harvard.edu/articles/media/1994_01_24_thenewrepublic.html)

Clearly that last line is wrong, the sentence is addressing the group, plural, so should be 'Let's hear it from youse'.

[silentC]

[Termite]

so should be 'Let's hear it from youse'.

Richard, if you want to be a spelling Nazi then, please, learn to spell first.:D

" weilding " is spelt " wielding ".:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

A bit like throwing stones whilst living in glass house, I think.


Peter, who is decidedly anti spelling Nazies.

I thought we agreed that spelling nazis should be banned ferom this BB years ago.
Give every contributor free rein to express himself, we usually manage to make our points quite clearly.

[Iain]

Give every contributor free rein to express himself
Or herself Brother Jack, and I want the right to have babies...............Bloody Romans.

[bennylaird]

What have the Romans ever done for use anyway?

[silentC]

Well, it's safe to walk the streets at night...

I wonder if the Romans ever thought of having ID cards?

[JackoH]

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!)

[bennylaird]

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.

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!

[silentC]

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.

[zenwood]

Roads, piped water, baths, sewarge systems, Benny, and lots more.) Back on topic: "Sewage", or "sewerage".:)

Lets agree that the first post free of spelling/grammar/puntuation mistakes wins? This thread can be the thread for BB spelling nazis to get it off.

[silentC]

puntuation
You lose, Zen!!

I think my first post to this thread meets those criteria and so therefore I proclaim myself the winner. :D

[bennylaird]

You lose, Zen!!

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)

"so I therefore proclaim myself the winner"

or "and therefore, I proclaim"

What I hate about English is the debateable rules, lol Maths is pure!

[silentC]

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

[bennylaird]

I know but had to have a go anyway, lol.
Otherwise I'd have to get on with XXXX here, perish the thought.

[silentC]

Don't mention the 'W' word. You have to spell it out around here. W O R K. So you don't upset anyone.

[Felder]

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:

How about W*RK?

[bennylaird]

Suitable edited hopefully before any damage was done.

[Felder]

I know but had to have a go anyway, lol.
Otherwise I'd have to get on with XXXX here, perish the thought.
Very suitably edited...but takes on a completely different meaning.
I, too, would perish the thought of having to drink that Queensland rubbish!:p

There was never a more appropriately named product. :eek:

Well go and get pregnant:p

[zenwood]

SilentC:

You're first post was an ostensible correction to my first post, which you admitted in a subsequent post was incomplete and did not correct all the mistakes of my punctuation.

I therefore assert that your first post contained punctuation errors and hence fails to qualify for the first error-free post in this thread.

It also contains the non-sentence ":D", which is therefore a grammatical error.

:)

[zenwood]

I not that the forum content statement has been updated, but still omits a possessive apostrophe, has a word capitalised, and has a full-stop instead of a question mark for the implied interrogative.

[silentC]

I therefore assert that your first post contained punctuation errors and hence fails to qualify for the first error-free post in this thread.
Ah, but the errors were quoted verbatim. My only mistake was in not surrounding them in quotation marks and inserting [sic] in the appropriate places. The quote block formatting substitutes for quotation marks on this forum and the insertion of [sic] is an editorial convention, not a rule of grammar, so therefore, I'm the winner and nyah nyah to you.

You know I'm right. :p

[zenwood]

Nice try, Silent, but as the pic shows, the errors were not quoted verbatim: you corrected my "your" to "you're", hence your correction was only partial, and contained uncorrected errrs.

And you didn't address the non-grammatical ":D".

:)

[silentC]

OK, I give in. It's beer o'clock and the cricket is on. :D

[Felder]

Current score? Last I saw Australia were 2/60 - but that was about two hours ago.

Guess this thread has now been completely hijacked...:o

[zenwood]

OK, I give in. It's beer o'clock and the cricket is on. :D
Sounds good to me. What'll you have?

Schooner of Old mate!!

Folks,

There are moments when I worry about the sanity of members of this BB. However, as a member here myself, I have to agree that it's, eerm, where was I going with this? Help?

Bugger!

Ya well, no fine!
