Magnumpi,

Hope you've got your evidence ready to back you up - you know it's just a matter of time before it's called upon

Both are correct, they are interchangeable.

I hear ya...I thought it was sawdid..i.e. 'I just sawdid it off'

You live and learn...and in my younger days I was a chippy.

So much to learn, so little time.

Back to my Corona - shite I know but the price was right.

Two of them have already lived in other countries, one for a year between high school and university, one for two years between degrees. Although they each have their unrelated reasons for wanting to move, and one has no choice in the matter, I think their openness to moving reflects the complete unwillingness of their parents to consider assimilation. Having attended schools where their fellow students came from similar backgrounds, at least in the sense of their parents feeling no attachment to Canada, I don't think they were ever inclined to stay here. If you were young and skilled and your lover was not a cradle, why would you?

Let it go and move on...

Kelly Clarkson I think.

Absolutely - there's nowt funnier than a good joke at a funeral!

Or even a bad joke!

Well I personally don't like sawed off! Just thought I would make that clear

Disclaimer:
This is only my own opinion and not a statistical fact that i can back up with Googled facts. I did not write, send or condone any bad txt or internet joke regarding Fred West or the Chinese, i do not have a grudge against the Chinese, i just used the joke to show how jokes are perceived in the UK.
If i have filmed where you live and you have got all upset and spilled your wine, then i am sorry in advance...."OOPS wrong fred."[/QUOTE]

I've just spilled my bloody wine, giggling at the amusing comments and laughing contemptuously at some of the ridiculous people who expose their unpleasant personalities on this forum. And we all know who is who. Now let me go top up my glass..........

A lot of whining through the back channel last night. These guys can dish out but can’t take. So <snip>.

Aaaah, that explains why your footage would see you as moving up in the world

You're very snippy these days

Yeah, fill in the blanks. More fun, I guess. The last snipped word is a synonym of jolly.
