There is a certain thread that has taken over us all like some sort of mad addiction, has it killed the actually Banter section and taken over???? If so, I hold MRJP BUZZ 585 completely responsible........general rant over, I'm off to play "This or That"

It is suprisingly addictive and difficult to keep up with. Don't worry dennis its just a fad and will pass over soon. Until then, im going to keep making some decisions

(let's just hope Feva_sailor keeps regurgitating everyone else's ideas)

Spam with one "m" did you never go to school!

 

More punishments for bad spelling owe the first person to pick up on it 1 pint or there preffered drink. That is unless the word is over 6 letter because then it gets difficult for most of us sailors.

That's cheating! Correct spelling of all words (regardless of length/origin/dialect) should get bonus points!

Still incorrect Les, there shouldn't be a space between the end of the word and the question mark.

720.... standing on your chair yelling out: "Y&Y is the best!" That might do it...

I reckon this whole 720 on your chair thing is overrated.

Those of us with spinning chairs have been doing that for months, just for fun, and now suddenly its a punnishment?

Not having any of that...

I put forward a proposal for harsher punishments for those of you not commited enough to check the rest of the thread before you post!

What happened to capitalizing and checking all the spellings? Call me sad but i was enjoying picking apart older peoples writing. By the way Feva_Sailor ive just got back from school after a 2 hour maths exam, can you spot any typing errors in this?

 Nope

Try the other side of the Channel (I mean the English Channel, in Europe ).

I started learning English at the age of 10:

"- Hello, my name is Richard!
 - Hello, may name is Katie!
 - (together) And this is Bill! (sfx: woof!)
 - We live in England."

My first English lesson, age 10. I won't tell you how many years ago, I've run out of fingers a long time ago and it's a well-known fact that dates in history are perceived as totally abstract by younger minds.

And guess what... I'm still learning...
