the mouse that was in my room was really tiny when i caught it but when it was running around it seemed as big as a cat. i felt real shame and sorrow for killing that poor little thing but at the same time, get the hell out of my room!

[jon boy]

[jon boy]

yes he bought it alright, i put chocolate on the trap instead of cheese though. mice like chocolate apparantly, who doesnt!

I'd recommend people read David 'Davey' Crystal on the matter, I have no intention of regurgitating his statements.

I definitely agree. Grammar is really underrated atm.

Oh, I'm in a bad mood today you'll all be non-plussed to hear.

First off, I'd like to thank you for giving me something to rant about.

Secondly, you're a cunt.

Thirdly, pluralisation is a part of grammar. The word "reply" (a noun ending in a consonant + y) has a regular plural that drops the "y" and adds "ies". This is known as a grammatical rule. The offence therefore falls under the jurisdiction of both the Spelling Police and the Grammar Police. The latter acted here because the most likely cause for the misspelling lies in failure to comply with simple grammar rules... not to mention that the spelling officers appear to be on coffee and donut break most of the time.

Finally, the fact that you seem to be unfamiliar with grammatical rules for regular plurals immediately puts you on the watch list. Your login details have been handed over to the Grammar Terrorist Screening Center.

your dad needs to be evaluated.


my rant for today:
i slept all day
then i got up
then i went for a pack of smokes
then i slept some more

Right on most accounts, especially the cunt bit. Still, grammar-nazi-ness on the internet is a bit fish in a barrel, and I'm personally of the belief that most people don't care and it isn't important enough to pick people out on.

[pokkeherrie]

True, spelling and grammar isn't really important and pales in comparison with all the other posts in this thread containing relevant rants about work, school, bicycles, rats or what's for dinner.
But I wasn't picking out on Mr. Anal in particular, he just happened to be there with the last post when I opened the thread.

I fucking hate ice-cream vans and the sickly saccharine tunes they invade our lives with. If they're allowed to play shit like that so loudly then anyone should be allowed to drive around neighbourhoods with an amp blasting whatever noise they want.

[Tokolosh]

This is the first time I've seen you write the word fucking. You must be really pissed off Nefeli.
I don't blame you though. A recurring itchy rash sucks bigtime. Hope you get it treated so that it doesn't come back.

on a side note. dont know which hurts more. people's jealousy and poison or people's ignoring where their freedom ends (it ends where the next person's starts).

We see you laugh
We see you dance
We take that away
Every day

We see you cry
We turn your head
Then we slap your face

We see you try
We see you fail
Some things never change

We hear you cry
We hear you wail
We steal that smile from your face

Bow down to live
Your life
Head down, hide that smile
Head high got to smile

Head high like a song you like

A couple days ago it was raining like hell here, and I like rain and going for a walk when nobody's around, so I walked to the city center under my umbrella ella-ella - eeh ehh.

Well, the city looked like a desert, but in like 30 mins I met 3 (THREE) ex-girlfriends of mine, that's pretty much ALL my "serious" girlfriends. I met them in random places jsut walking around, and I talked a bit with each one of them.
Recurrent questions, on both sides : "are you still single?" answer on both sides "yes."
Q: "What are you doing out with this rain?" A: "You know I like rain".
I'm still a bit shocked.

Try Aloe Vera gel for your skin, Nefeli. It's quite good for most things.

[Glice]

Move to the seaside. Salty sea air is good for spots, believe it or not. Or in my experience, at least. Terrible for the hair though.

[sonicl]

Skincare is a funny subject. My lady uses countless different facial products and still suffers with spots. I, on the other hand, use nothing but water to wash my face and haven't had a spot in years.
