            took the kids to Blackpool one year, and Shirley Bassey, amongst great fanfare , switched on the lights.
            The manageress asked my cute little 4 year old cherub, with his curling golden locks if we had had a good night, and if we had seen the lights being switched on
            'Yes, it was Shirly Bastard'

              I was in the bathroom one day and my then 9 year old son was standing outside the door wanting to come in to use the toilet, i said to him just come in but he said he could not come in with me in there, so i said to him "whats the problem have you got something i have not got", to which he replied "yes Dad, A Life"

              Kids can be so cruel

                Despite sounding just about the same when spoken, when read they impart a completely different meaning. They aren't interchangable even on the internet unless your IQ is less than your shoe size in which case you shouldn't be allowed near computers.
                Repeat after me - "I'm not a pedant, I'm not a pedant, I'm not a pedant" - with feeling.

                BTW I'm with you, but there's a place and a time for correcting these errors, and an internet forum is not it.

                    That doesn't work with the spelling/punctuation nazi's on here.

                      There is no apostrophe in the plural "Nazis". Also, it should really have an initial capital letter.







                      PS Godwin's Law, so nar, nar, de nar nar.
                      My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.
