> ...having indulged in a bit of sport... Sport? Using the language of violence against women to make a funny? Hooting and braying sad claims to be some sort of cultural ?bermensch, albeit written like English is a second language? Jesus, you may not be the annoying little buffoon I referred to previously, but you certainly act like him, whether you?re a troll or not, and I have a feeling most here find you tedious, unfunny and irrelevant. Your sister has my sympathies.

I think you should read it yourself, and this time, really read it. I do find myself wondering if you're the pompous little man I've seen being a tedious pain in the fundament in Franklins on Lordship Lane before now, lecturing Tim about the spelling of 'medlars', and telling anyone who'd listen - and there weren't many - that the world is going to end because of the rise of the grocer's apostrophe. You know the type, short, tubby, with a round red face, a hectoring, braying manner, and a sort of desperation that the world is moving on and leaving him behind. The sort who'd not only take great delight in putting a woman down for some perceived slight that doesn't really matter, but then re-live it by telling everyone about it, using suspiciously sexist language. Twice. Right, I'm off to do something modern, see you on the funny pages.

A gentleman would have acted differently. And, unless you're an MMORPGer, there's no such word as 'exaltion'.

If I were a copyreader - and I have been - I'd send it back with at least thirteen reds. My particular bugbear (aside from the overuse of commas, apostrophes and needlessly redundant clauses) is the use of multiple exclamation marks; if one is a good enough writer, one should be able to convey enough meaning with one's words as to negate the need to use more than one.

As does the phrase 'slap her down'. Your whole post, adonirum, smacks of sexist, self satisfied, smart arsed superciliousness of the highest, and creepiest, order.

I can't imagine what you must mean. Anyway, busy busy, things to do, I must put those stale crumpets out for the birds.

Man Overboard - Ian Hunter

I've mixed chilli powder into the bird seed in my bird feeders; it doesn't affect the birds, and the squirrels hate it. I've also fired an air bazooka at the squirrels, it's hilarious to see them being knocked out of a tree by 'nothing'. When indoors, I've discovered that a laser pointer freaks them out. The foxes are perfectly well behaved in our garden.
