That's my tongue in my cheek, I don't want to go down the lane of licking and nether regions or mucky stuff like that.</p> <p>After posting this I saw your comment BJ. I have replied to one thing you've said to me today and now you're screaming about me stalking you. I think you need help mate.<br /> BTW please stop bragging about your qualifications. I think most of us on here have a few but we don't feel the need to keep going on about them </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29393&page=2#post-82649 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 14:11:48 +0000 beau-jolly 82649@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>FFS!

I have a go at punctuation and spelling sometimes. If your sub's good enough the Editor will correct it. That's the way I see it, but I am a lazy bastard.

What did I ever do to you? It's a comedy site, not a visit to the psychiatrist. Lighten up. </p> <p>Oh, sorry. Now that I think about it, I did write the "take me from behind" tag. That wasn't only directed at you. Just one of my (amazing) attempts at comedy gold. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29393#post-82639 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 13:55:00 +0000 Vertically Challenged Giant 82639@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Which bit made him a bigot? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29393#post-82633 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 13:47:13 +0000 greg various 82633@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Tell me Rikkor, do you take yourself for a walk every day, or do you have a friend to take you, and how do you carry the little plastic bag to pick up your mess when you leave a little deposit on the sidewalk? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29393#post-82628 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 13:37:31 +0000 rikkor 82628@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Please take my name down as a witness. BJ tried to be nice and was rejected by Various. Time to move on from this demi-flounce and write something funny. (Although I never do write myself.) </p> <p>As some French person wrote here recently, "fin". He probably meant fin de siecle, but who knows? It's all Greek to me. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29393#post-82624 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 13:29:33 +0000 greg various 82624@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I don't, actually, like you Crappy Chappie and certainly don't want to be friends with a bigoted thicko. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29393#post-82621 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 13:23:14 +0000 beau-jolly 82621@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>OK Greg: You are not as illiterate as me (or possibly "as I am"). I apologise. Can we kiss and make up now?</p> <p>Tell you what. if we both try and write something funny we can demonstrate the truce by making a nice comment. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29393#post-82565 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 23:56:49 +0000 rikkor 82565@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>True, and in my case, I usually apologize after being too pointed. You are never too pointed, so no apologies required.</p> <p>Hey - man you talkin' back to me?<br /> Take him out<br /> You gotta keep 'em hyphenated</p> <p>Hey - man you disrespecting me?<br /> Take him out<br /> You gotta keep 'em hyphenated</p> <p>Hey they don't pay no mind<br /> If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time<br /> Hey come out and play </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29393#post-82564 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 23:54:50 +0000 The All New Jeni B 82564@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Back to matching thoughts again Rikkor.</p> <p>No doubt someone will eventually accuse us of being the same person with multiple log-ins. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29393#post-82563 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 23:53:30 +0000 rikkor 82563@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Jeni, since I'm too ADD-ish to read everything, I note here that you mentioned purse-slinging long before I did. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29393#post-82562 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 23:36:26 +0000 The All New Jeni B 82562@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>And shouldn't it be "Apostrophe-gate" with a hyphen? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29393#post-82558 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 23:27:26 +0000 rikkor 82558@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Tee hee! You said "root". </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29393#post-82547 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 21:49:16 +0000 malgor 82547@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I tend to go for '60s or '70s. They are, after all, abbreviations for 1960s, 1970s. (Unless you're referring to, say, 'a chap in his sixties'; in which case, write it as a word.) Apostrophes primarily denote something missing. In its possessive function, what's missing is the 'e' added before an 's' to denote possession in exactly the same way in the root language, German.</p> <p>You boys at the back there - are you paying attention? </p>
