offlineMemberI'm sure you are right. What is your take on 60's and 70's? 60s just doesn't look right as I an old enough think of it as £3. I know it is not a possesive but connecting a number and a letter needs something.
Opposite me is a shop called "Bargains". They have just had a new fascia and it now reads "Bargain's". That really pissed me off so I explained the mistake to Mr. and Mrs. Bargain...
...Fuck me! Golgo just walked in!

Asking why you are getting at me?
"Forgot to mention... in my comment on your crappy little WASPS''' sub: you're a twat David.

offlineMemberGo back a few steps, Jolly twat face, out of the blue you casually associate me with someone who's even more illiterate than yourself and you think my response is hate mail?
You made a big mistake. Are you big enough to admit it? From what I can glean from your profile, I doubt it.Posted 1 year ago # -

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.
You boys at the back there - are you paying attention?

No doubt someone will eventually accuse us of being the same person with multiple log-ins.

offlineMemberTrue, and in my case, I usually apologize after being too pointed. You are never too pointed, so no apologies required.

offlineMemberOK Greg: You are not as illiterate as me (or possibly "as I am"). I apologise. Can we kiss and make up now?
Tell you what. if we both try and write something funny we can demonstrate the truce by making a nice comment.

offlineMemberPlease 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.)
As some French person wrote here recently, "fin". He probably meant fin de siecle, but who knows? It's all Greek to me.
