That's great! And you didn't accept the proposal! Don't blame you, really, I wouldn't marry again. Too many comparisons, as my husband always says, but also too little privacy!
Accept the proposal? only if I wanted my liver served up on a platter very rare. It was a long while back before Joan became ill.
I earned £10 today because I allowed a follow up check after the Census, apparently people lie on the census forms so they spot check, I do not see the point of fibbing on a form, what is to gain? After a long chat and some questions the chap asked how do you want your ten pounds? somewhat bamboozled I said a voucher which will be sent through the post. How does any of that save the Government money???
Good night all ,While I enjoy a good Rant and a good bit of friendly banter on this thread, and others , would it be possible that before posting that every one use the spell checker , I know that there are different dialects and region variations in the British Isles But ?
GG, As funny as your reply is there is a serious side to my rant I am constantly asking my children not to txt spk when writing as I think it diminishes the standard that Teachers are trying to teach
U r qut rt. Sorry! As a teacher, I know you are quite right. I can usually spell everyting first time and pride myself in spelling correctly, so I feel really annoyed when I get it wrong. I do make typos in these messages and often spot them after I've posted. Most annoying!
Hope I'm not a culprit Derek! Usually typos on my part too. I do agree that some threads are indecipherable at times.
I am going back to the plastic bag rant. Sorry. Tesco shop - 77 items 31 bags. Have, yet again, brought this to their attention. Think I will have to go bagless, although I find that inconvenient.
Not a rant, but they now send you a little message to tell you how much you have saved by shopping with them. Actually, I don't care as I wouldn't swap anyway.
Henglish as she is spake learned as t'e Queens By most posters on this board it seems At times amazes us olde doddery things We learned it as Henglish be tauld Kings
Schooling shapes us and our speech Again influenced by those who teach Parents and area play their share Check my spelling don't you dare.
I did put one or two of the above names in to spell check and will not print the outcome. Many post at night after a days work, often tired the brain gets ahead of fingers I know as the History pages I write for the local library I leave until next day then spell check them, it is a win when they say "no spelling mistakes found" that is not always so. With the wealth of accents used by people on the board mistakes will happen, it does not detract from my enjoyment reading them. A sudden thought! when did text reading teenagers ever read this board?
That sent the ABC into a tizzwaz. If you do see a mistake put the cursor over the bottom right hand corner and press edit I assure you it works instantly.

Do we need a rant about spelling? Here's a rude but tongue in cheek one.
Come on, you ignorant spellers
The spellcheck is called ABC
Just press the button
And save your mutton
And come up to the standard of Me...
I allways spell right
I aalweis spell rite
I alllwois spel rit
