Re: APOLOGY TO SIN BIN
I apologise to Mrs McCabe - primary school teacher for the leaving class of 1982, for nicking all that stationery from the cupboard.
In my defence I did put it to good use at highschool but I've been haunted by my wanton act of pre-teenage larceny ever since. So I'm sorry. :o <I feel so much better now> |
Re: APOLOGY TO SIN BIN
While I'm here, I'd like to apologize to rae for hounding him all through the forums pointing out that, as a ManUre supporter, he's a smug old northern git.
Oh, hang on... |
Re: APOLOGY TO SIN BIN
I really don't get why everyone seems to have a go at bazzz.
There are so many posts where people complain that they miss the British sense of humour. Intelligent and witty put downs are an essential component of British humour. It is what makes shows from Blackadder to Have I Got News For You so very funny. bazzz is very good at it. Why do we all get upset so quickly? |
Re: APOLOGY TO SIN BIN
Id like to apologise to my OH for not ironing his shirts, not having diner ready, not cleaning the house again today and not leaving my credit cards at home when i went out shopping, ;)

Well I think you need to aplogize to him right now for not spelling his name with the requisite numbers of "z"s.

Yea? Tell that to P.G. Wodehouse.

Tom You wrote "new the character" instead of what you meant. That's the point here, characters like bazzz are not new (any more); what's more his style (admittedly abrasive at times) is thoroughly consistent. If really "new" characters get upset, then it's largely because of their "newness" leading to wrong assumptions about intent on the basis of "one or two paragraphs"; rather than on the "collected works" of regular posters. Just quibbling of course, but that's why the forum remains fun for some of us older lags. Oh. And I apologize of course. :D |

A very Freudian typo there, Tom.
