I have to agree, and not only because the place is as far north as Crewe. I used to think of Mansfield as just another Midlands town, but on my first visit is was apparent that the accent was northern (in fact it's quite similar to Doncaster's). On moving here, I noticed the proliferation of...

And so they should. I remember reading many years ago of a case where children locked a kid in a fly-tipped fridge for a prank and went away, meaning to return later and release him. Obviously they didn't realize how airtight the things are designed to be, and the poor kid died, probably within...

I see you live in France, so maybe English isn't your first language. Even so, I can't imagine a Brit spelling deux as duh (a word that sprang to mind when reading your post).

Do they still have those vertical full barriers that I remember so vividly clattering down in the 1970s, or can pedestrians now cross when a train is due?

Indeed, and I expect Snarkey5 is too. Actually, I think she scrubs up quite well. http://www.timgander.co.uk/

How do you get rid of the stupid noise that's produced every time a message is received? It's driving me crazy! Edit: just noticed tiny x in top corner!

OK HHS I just started reading your blog, and right at the beginning noticed you had followed 'firstly' with 'second'. Shouldn't you have used 'secondly'? :)

Indeed. I didn't know that the pluperfect tense was the one that used 'had' before I learnt French, but there again you didn't need to; you just picked it up! Why would you need knowledge of the correct terminology in order to become a proof reader? I only have a vague understanding of those...

She did hack it, in China. Think of all the personal sacrifice an Olympic swimmer has to make in terms of time spent in and travelling to/from the pool most days. The girl who beat her so easily in London was much younger, so there's no way 'our Becky' can compete with that however hard she trains.

Why are you suggesting an iphone for someone who only needs calls, texts and a diary? He doesn't even need a smartphone!

What is nostalgia? Canst thou see it? Canst thou touch it?

Do you not know the difference between grammar and spelling? I think the problem is that he was using a spell checker! They always show up your true abilities sooner or later. There's no substitute for acquiring this knowledge by reading properly proofed newspapers, books and magazines .

I'm surprised at the quality and length of that .gif; is there actually any limit to them?

There must be many thousands of us who missed all the build-up because we were travelling to London that day. Hopefully Goldstone Rapper will be along to tell us how your content could be distributed, as I presume copywrite issues would prevent him from putting whole programmes like this up on...

those.

Just in case anyone doesn't realize, we still are primates.

You seem to think that most of these creatures would have existed anyway. They wouldn't; they are farmed! It's only due to us carnivors that they have enjoyed any life at all, and many have enjoyed the pleasures of procreation as well!
