Tsk. There's always one... wait a minute, did we really make it to Post 39 without somebody being vulgar?

I felt it was my prerogative, what with my having this odd shaped lump in my pants and a moustache, as well as my chest bound. I'm practising for a party tomorrow and rather enjoying it, I must admit.

But yes, a lot of people around here drink Stella and Fosters give me a nice white rum any time!

Are you implying that we chaps are naturally vulgar?

Harrumph!

*sotto voce* knickers.

It must be a record for my Journal. Even SWL avoided smut: he usually drags things down by the third post.

A tache? Crikey.

You'll get links to pictures, Roy. No doubt there will be several taken tomorrow when we're all intoxicated

Top stuff.

In my experience most men *are* naturally vulgar but many manage to mask their vulgarity under a veneer of cordiality.

As an aside, here's a recent Viz top tip:

"Confuse Daily Mail readers by telling them asylum seekers are the natural predators of paedophiles"

No response from Diageo yet. I rang again this morning and was given a different email address so have forwarded it to them.

...Back from the wilderness ...you could try Station Porter from Wickwar Brewing a pleasant alternative...

I can't believe Roy is accusing *me* of being smutty !!

Could we have a colour-check on the pot please?

It's as black as your little soul.

I rang again on Friday afternoon (03/08/07), spoke to someone else who said they'd get someone to look into it and call back. I've heard nothing. If there's nothing by Monday afternoon I'm going to send the email again, with a note of the telephone calls, and copy it to Peter Tatchell and Stonewall.

Can anybody think of anywhere else I should send it?

I think the Facebook group is imminent.

I'm just having a great time reading the grammar discussions there.
But then I can laugh, I'm neither American nor Scottish.

It's a valid discussion, stray apostrohes are very confusing. What is most annoying about them, is, that you see them so frequently that you start to . And I've caught myself making the same mistakes. I'm a language snob, it's horrible for me.

Mind, I'm not one to go and point mistakes out to people (PR being the exception), I just silently suffer.

SWL, you certainly have a way with words mate!

B'El, did you see the photo I posted in the 'If you can't tell...' group? IT's tof the poster I mentioned in the 'Oops, Roy got a bit ranty' thread (I don't even know what the thread was about!)

Yes, I've seen the photo. It's hard to believe. I sometimes wished I could show this site to my sons' English teachers, that should be an eye-opener for them.

OK. I'm lost now. I always get lost when it comes to tippy-toeing through the threads

That's because you should tiptoe through the tulips, not the threads.

You might have to register with Facebook to see it though. If you haven't, you should. It's good. Two of the people that were recently added to my friends list played at my 18th birthday party!
