One which made me laugh - a mner was complaining about her bin collections or something and said she was going to call the council to complain. She spelled it as cancel. Can just imagine that being said in saft London accent, could see why she spelled it that way the dozy mare.

Here Here comes up a LOT on here. It makes me curl my lip.

Chest of draws.

on MN - 'burgulry'. Written in the way it is so often mispronounced, even on the Beeb.

No,NO,No,No. It is spelled and pronounced burglary,

Hmm found this in primary ed thread, clearly a teacher Shock

Basically, we can't win-send home work at the wrong level and they'll be a thread, don't send it home until we have the level and they'll be a thread.

Have just spotted this gem on "do you dress up in the bedroom?" thread:

I do it quite often, Basque and stockings under my clothing, flirting and showing hints, playing strip poker and having a giggle, then upstairs for some fun and games.

It's nice every so often, but we are quite happy with using aides to enhance our sex life, dressing up included.

Where does one find a reliable sex aide these days? And one that is prepared to dress up to boot...

I LOL'd at aides too, and somebody posting the 'bear bones' of their story...
I particularly love 'rest bite care' and 'heart rendering'.

When I worked in a solicitors office we had a dyslexic clerk. We used to mark the nature of the alleged offence on each file. He wrote one up as "boggery" we were not sure if it was burglary, buggery or something in a public toilet.
