I was sort of hoping for some verbatim quotes from the icebox…. But alas no, what was Terry thinking? :sad:

i do believe at one stage i was Dirty Dog, but obviously it was banned amongst various other variations of that name.
actually im quite shocked by phils photos, i mean who would have thought that he would look like a normal human being, i mean coming from up north and that, hell he even looks clean and hasnt got anys zits, shame about the tie though

a country with so many nice silk ties and phil choose that one...

Can do. It's a fool of an editor, subeditor or writer who claims he or she never makes mistakes. If a genuine mistake rather than a style error (ageing va aging, learnt vs learned, etc.) then I hold my hands up. I noticed a missing acute e on resume, but not much more - but then, of course, after you've written and read a story about six times, you sometimes get error-blindness. I noted a few errors on The Grauniad's website today and they have a phalanx of well-paid lackeys, which we don't... Well, not well-paid ones.

An acute E eh? Shocking...and to think you hacks get paid tons more than us lowly teachers...

Aye well the Grauniad maybe one thing but this is Ajarn Forum where pedantic spelling nazis rule the roost...misspeel at your peril.

What is a phallanx anyway?
