Kong have you watched any episodes of the new season of Skins? If so, any good?

 

[JDavey]

I've seen the first episode, a lot of the humor seemed very very forced to the point it was unjoyable. The actual storyline for the season seems like it will be good though.

I've always considered people writing 'sauce' when it should be 'source' to be some sort of BF joke. Indeed, I've even played along several times.

However, so many people now do it that I now find myself genuinely wondering whether some just don't realise which spelling is correct.

The incorrect use or their, there, they're and the like shit me the most.

I corrected a mate on this via text. His reply; "Shut up, your an idiot." I just smiled

Ha ha, the ol' double whammy.

People have been getting there/their/they're wrong for as long as I can remember, though. Same with you're/your (I would include yore and yaw as well...but nah).

However, source/sauce seems to be a much more recent phenomenon, and one I haven't really seen outside BF.

Personally, 'could of', 'should of', 'would of', 'had of' and so on shit me more than any of the regular howlers you see people make.

All fair grammatical frustrations Doss! Just on the source/sauce thing, as far as I can see, it is an inside joke BF type of thing, has to be... If not, I have no faith in the human race..

Random question: Has anyone played any of the Tom Clancy: Splinter Cell games? I have loved them all. The new Splinter Cell Blacklist comes out on the 22nd and I am keeeeeen... Curious to know if it has a following on here.

 

[Doss]

Where's Kong?

 

[Doss]

[Jab]

Maybe they're run off together, Thelma and Louise style?

 

[Jab]

Well that sucked. Bring on 2014.

You know the, let's call it a sign, between "q" and "s"? Well the one on my laptop stopped functioning about 30 minutes ago. So I'm basically attempting to find synonyms without that sign in it. It's funny at the same time being decidedly annoying.

You could just go all Elmer Fudd for some words.

Nah, it's making me expand the idioms I use

Except some of the words you are going to be using don't actually mean the word you're using them as replacements for.

 

[The Speaker]

And if you're desperate use Alt + numpad.

Delivery driver rocked up at my house, and promptly left a slip saying that he couldn't deliver the parcel because "no-one was home". I was sitting on the living room couch waiting for a knock at the door, and only heard him as he shut the door on his van, before driving away.

Therefore, I do not have GTA V.

To say that I am angry is an understatement. F*cking ropeable.

 

[Drummer_19]

Don't they normally leave it at the nearest Post Office in that circumstance?

 

[VelvetSledge]

If it's Aus Post, yeah, but this is Toll Priority and it's on its way back to Port Melbourne. So mad

 

[Burzum]

Explain yourself, Paul Little.

With the hoo-hah about the Costa Concordia being risen, the media have whipped up a frenzy talking to people involved in the horrible incident.

Anyhow, an underlying denominator is that more men should have let children and women onto lifeboats first. This has historically been the case in European culture, unless of course you were black or something of the sort. I understand that children should be first priority since they the 'future' and more helpless, but why women first? Why does roughly one half of a species deserve such privileges based upon genetic determinism and/or one's gender construct? Doesn't make sense.
