Do you think if tunnie buys a different sort of car, he would stop coming on this forum? I think we should try and get him to buy a BMW.

Unless you want to replace all 3 of our Omegas, your not going to have much luck.

you're??

This could run and run and run  ;D ;D

...... you'd think he would have got someone to help out with the spelling and wording before placing the ad. :-?      

My sentiments too!!!  :y :y :y Nobody is expecting perfection on an eBay ad, but, as you say, you'd have thought he'd use a bit of effort.  ;)

Firefox has a built in spell checker  :)

It only works for wizards and witches  :) :y

You're  ;D

Stop digging mate ;D

I hope STOM doesn't see this thread :D


Words fail me, but.......my chastisement of people's spelling on here is just a small mickey-take. That poor soul probably got a raw deal somewhere along the line and I'd be more inclined to have sympathy for him rather than to constantly correct.

I noted earlier that some people were person was getting a little bit, erm, annoyed ::) about peoples spelling mistakes on their thread.

Well just have a look at this.

Do you honestly think people CAN spell that bad? (and completely not bother with punctuation) Or is it to get you looking (although why would you want to look in the first place)

You mean STOM constantly having a pop at me for being dicklextric.  :D

You mean STOM constantly having a pop at me for being in too much of a hurry to have my say. I can spell really well but I'm just lazy.  :D

Like posts put on here which are unpunctuated or full of text speak, I got as far as the first half dozen words and gave up.



Sadly true :( :( :(

Do you think if tunnie buys a different sort of car, he would stop coming on this forum? I think we should try and get him to buy a BMW (car as he has a bike).

It has been brought to my attention by ‘H21’ that my comments may have inadvertently caused offense or upset to a fellow user of this wonderful forum of free thinking and free speaking individuals (namely ‘tunnie’). If this is the case, then I would like to extend my deepest and most sincere apologies to those in question. I would be deeply troubled to think that my actions may have lead to anyone feeling inadequate or alienated about their egotistical views on others.  :'( After all, that is what freedom of speech is all about, and if that is to be imposed upon by others, then surely 'this country is going down the pan' (to quote a good friend of mine).

I hope my apology can be accepted in the deeply sincere manner that I have tried so very hard to convey, and I hope that we can now all live amongst our Omega-owning friends in ever-lasting peace and harmony. In order to uphold the peace that I hope to bring today, I pledge to endeavour to use a spell-checker and think long and hard about the grammar used in any post from this day forward.

Dave  ;)

I think you meant to say it was me, H21, who contacted you.

Thanks for placing the apology.   :y
