........having gone to the shop tonight to pick up the latest edition, a man standing next to me grinned and said "so your into women then?" Of course you can imagine the response I gave him. :mad:
No offence intended to anyone but this has really fecked me off and was very embarrising. Anyone else had this kind of problem or am I the only one? :rolleyes:

I've had this problem as well, but partly because I'm generally dribbling by the time I get to the counter, and sometimes there's nice bikes to look at. :D
Seriously though TG, if you are having un-pure thoughts about semi-naked ladies, I think you should tell us all about it at great length :cool:

Several years back when I was working in the States, I asked an American who was visiting England to pick my copy up and bring it to me on his return.
After passing it to me in the office, he tried to embarass me in front of the women workers by loudly announcing it had naked centrefolds.
His face was a picture when I answered "I wondered why it was sticky".

Hi Triker Gal,
I can see your point, worse thing is when your at the counter paying for it and you've got kids giving you dirty looks, cos they think you just bought a porn mag.
Another problem is it is never among the other bike mags, so you end up having to go along the top shelve to find it, resulting in more looks of disgust from others in the shop, and being on the top shelve, it can be a pain in the arse to reach, especialy if you have a dissability.
Which means you have to ask some other poor shmuck to get it down for you.

Tell him to order it or you'll send Osama round to sort him out. Seriously, if you ask him to order it, he probably will. After all, profit is profit and he may find others will want it. I ordered mine and my local asian emporium sells 4-5 copies a month. Don't know till you try.

I cant get spellchecker to work in the forum pages, and dont give a flying fuck anyway, folk who worry about others spelling and not what they are saying are anal sods!! I've rather read what TG/anyone has to say and whether they can spell doesnt come into it...**** my spelling is crap at the best of times!!
I used to wrongly think that people who couldn't spell were of a lower intelligence
then I realised that often they were dislexic or just crap at typing
I judged and was found wanting
but I learned my lesson
and am alright now :)
have to say though that I only ever pointed out someone's poor spelling if I was trying to wind em up for a laugh (if they were in the joke too that is)

I said not to go down this road....
<rant>
What is the point of teaching children to read and write?
To communicate effectively and precisely so that there are few chances of misunderstanding.
Why bother to learn your own language correctly? - hell there are millions of foreigners out there who can look at us quizzically and correct us in our grammer, spelling and pronunciation.
Apart from a small percentage of the population who actually have dyslexia, the most common mistakes in spelling and grammar are due to laziness, whether while learning at school or lack of discipline as an adult.
Ignorance, yet again, is no defence.
I didn't pass my English Language GCSE first time, so I stayed back and tried harder. That's why my tolerance level on this subject is so low.

But the point is
Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow and to be honest correct spelling and grammar are one of the last things in life you should care about (unless it is your living)
In the grand scheme of things..it is not that important so we may put an I before an E, or not enough S's etc...
Life is to short to worry about it.
And we all should learn Tolerance, correct someone publicly is more ignorant than someone spelling something wrong and causing confusion or misunderstanding

Two of my kids are dyslexic and they are as smart as anything but you need an O level in gibberish to read anything they write so spelling correctly is not high on my priority list just getting them through life is

In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter if we throw our litter in the street or decorate our bedrooms. In ordinary everyday life it makes things a bit more pleasant for both ourselves and others.
madastoast
01-11-2004, 09:43 PM
In the grand scheme of things it would be more pleasant if we all were the same and we all liked the same things and all did the same things.
My kids would have it a damn sight easier if they could read and write as you and I, but it aint gonna happen and they are not lazy or disinterested they are good kids and they are not these baseball capped sheep that run riot at all hours drinking and setting fireworks off harrassing grannies and tormenting the asian emporium owner.
I for one want to be different and if that is unpleasant to others then so be it.
I AM NOT A NUMBER!! :mad:
I got an A for english at school & I use spellcheck or a dictionary for work or anything official if I need to but this forum is meant to be fun.I think the point is that if we're going to pull each other up for our spelling etc then it's not going to be fun for long.Don't tell me there's more to life than having fun.... :(

Listen up, I didn't say I was leaving the forum, just said goodbye to the thread because I got pissed off. I'm human, I'm entitled.
Now, if I spell ANYTHING incorrectly, then so feckin what ???? If you think it should be corrected then personally I think you need to GET A LIFE !!!!
There's alot more I could say here, but I'm not going to bother, and if this has indeed offended anyone then tough because I dont really care OK !? So excuse me for being rude, unable to spell, a foreigner, female at that and anything else that doesn't rock your boat :p

my own humble opinion, for what its worth is that every 50-100 years since people have used language. someone-somewhere has complaned (!) that its all being ruined by new-fangled 'made-up' words.
grammar and spelling are designed by academics to prevent people from thinking for them selves.
there was an English language exam question that went " Are Grammar and Spelling important to the construction of a coherient statement or question?"
It may just be an urban myth but a student who recieved a pass mark wrote...
" iff u kan reid dis, kno."
