HTH

My point to Andy refers to you also.

Do me a favour and don't quote the gomper.

BTW, he works in a coffee shop

Forgive me if I am giving you the impression that I am some sort of interlectual, that was not my intention. The problem is that when you are dealing with an idiot of the highest order perhaps thats the way its perceived, who knows who really cares. As a matter of interest can you just enlighten me as to what it is grammatically that I have upset you with, assuming its not too much trouble. Thanks in advance.

I see that you havent quite perfected the art of selective misquoting just yet. I am sure with time and practice you will achieve this hth

Thanks for the education, no seriously I'd like to think its been fun

Head High, don't read this. Wouldn't want to upset you.



You used the apostrophe at the end of scientists which you were expressing as a plural. The apostrophe only comes in to indicate ownership, e.g. the rocket scientists' lab coats.

The second sentence went on to pose a question, but was completed with a full stop rather than a question mark.

Small points, but accuracy costs nothing.

I did tell you not to read it...

I know a rocket scientist, I went to school with him in Wakefield. He is now a professor at CalTec and is a consultant at NASA. He is a Mars atmosphere specialist, as well as a general rocket scientist and worked on most of NASA's Mars 'stuff' over the last 15 years.

He uses the internet all the time, in fact, he is a Facebook friend as well. So he even does social networking on the internet...

That's exactly where I would expect a rocket scientist to do his social networking. Before the Internet he wouldn't have done anything social at all that didn't involve 20 sided dice.

Now biologists on the other hand......

Well you say that but you should have met his wife...Brazilian (of birth and possibly other definition's in common parlance... never asked!) and gorgeous...

She unfortunately passed away, hence the past tense... before you do the did she leave him gag.



He uses Facebook to keep in touch with us plebs (old school friends) back here in the UK...

Pass on my thanks --- the Mars Ice cream bars are delicious.lol

Funnily enough my next door neighbours son was a rocket scientist. He worked for the government (he was in his 30's when I was 9 or 10). He drove a sports car and dressed like Terry Thomas. He had "bounder" and "cad" written all over him.

Once every generation I guess..

They come from Slough. I used to work next to the factory. It's painted pink and smells like an abatoir.

That is because they put dead-dogs in Mars bars... FACT!

Gosh....I only asked a simple question.

I've now had chance to watch the SLTV highlights and my question has been answered: clever (fast) running by Brough.
Some of you guys can be very harsh, Lol. In my youth I was an avid home and away supporter......these days I make no excuses for my picking and choosing of which matches I want to attend; considering my family commitments, responsibilities and geographical location. Keep smiling guys/gals...if we can learn to play consistently like we know we can (Eastwood looks a very fine additional acquisition) then we have nothing to fear. The way we play at times does compel me to contemplate divorce, abandoning my children and moving back in with my old mum back in Leeds. Would that make some of you happier ?? (As if I really care)

Don't worry about it, I live within walking distance (OK a slightly long walk) of the ground but also pick and choose which games to attend - the ones where I don't have to pay being the only choice at the moment

The first mistake was made out of ignorance, the second out of my eagerness to reply to my new found mate

apologies to my learned friend and also thanks for putting me in my place

I bet he does not converse on here on a regular basis with head high tackle though

Thank you McLaren Field.....do I know you ? Lol

You're a man after my own heart....the apostrophe seem's (lol) to have become such a bl**dy problem for so many people....and yet it's so simple. You forget to mention it's also used to indicate missing letter or [iletters[/i (very much here [ino[/i apostrophe), but not if [iit's[/i to show [iits[/i lack of presence in a plural

What's a gomper? I like it!
