[Tutter]

talking about ladybirds

bill asked which of the two was the predator

sian showed him

bill: ah, the one with less spots

sian (very quickly, obv without thinking): fewer

(then, "sorry billy" )

Too right!
Am at him making such a basic error

Oh, and lol at 'Billy'

so she should be!
(bbc obsessed with less/fewer -- I KNOW [GRIN])

Better then what I saw on GMTV once

A caption saying "Whose the Daddy"

It serves me right for watching GMTV really, which is officially the television version of the Express.

Ooops, just noticed my spelling mistake on my last post (on a pedantry thread as well )

In fact, I have noticed how my typing is exemplary when posting on threads of this nature, but dreadful elsewhere.

Anyway, I am just doing some proof reading and had to share this with you:

"First Saturday's of the months is Jazz Band"

It's symptomatic of our decaying education system. It is part of a pub review article written by someone with a FARKING ENGLISH DEGREE!

well, if you will watch gmtv...

It's a habit stemming from a childhood of being forced to watch TV:AM before school.

Plus I like something non-cranial in the morning.

I listen to the Today programme on the way to work though. Have I redeemed myself? [grn]

That's better

arf at non-cranial

have a poo - tis more rewarding

But I watch GMTV in an ironic way.

I find the Daily Mail style outrage amusing. Plus I only watch about 10 mins of it in the morning, as I leave the house at 6 15. I then get into my car to listen to the gentle and dulcet tones of James Naughtie et al.

sorry sheikyerbouti

but i've seen this loads of times: "I watch gmtv in an ironic way" and I finally just have to

do have an ironic smile the whole time? are you "wry" about their make-overs? sounds like a very kitch post-modern approach

sorry i am having a giggle at your expense very bad etiquette but meant v v friendlililiy

i share your attitude that's why i turn it off -- and if i do watch it i give in and indulge and totally love it

Indeed, stuffit.

I am a intelligent and highly educated, but this is one brain-drain activity I can't give up. Same with crap books. I love trash lit.

I am going to give up my GMTV habit. But just let me have one more day. Please
