I say, this is jolly interesting.

********. I was completely ****faced driving back from Wales this
evening - sprog was falling about laughing at the way I couldn't
stop running onto the rumble strip on the edge of the M48 - but I
didn't hit anything, didn't kill anyone, didn't even break the
speed limit. Victimless crime. Stop being such an old woman, you
pathetic self-panicker.


Bring back hanging. How can have the nerve to drink & drive AND COME
ON HERE AND BOAST ABOUT IT?

It's groovy. I *like* it.

What's the matter with you? *Someone* has to do it...

Oddly enough I was chatting about drink driving "the morning after"
to another poster on ukrm and we both agreed we'd done it a few
times. Nobody was hurt so why ****ing worry?

I've had it happen a few times that I've had to be helped out to the car.
What I do nowadays is, when I start to feel it a bit, I go out to the car
and sit in, and have the waitress bring the drinks out to me. Any time I
need a refill, I just toot the horn.

Does the waitress always cum when you push your horn.

It seems you imagine my speech would pause after the word 'but', is
that the case? I wrote that line exactly as I'd say the sentence,
I'd not pause after the word 'but'.

I did not imagine anything. Just because you don't talk proper doesn't
mean that not writing proper should be a natural consequence.

How do you know I don't talk properly,

You claim that the way you write is how you speak: "I wrote that line exactly
as I'd say the sentence..."


When on Usenet I generally reply in a quickly typed, highly informal,
conversational style. I never spell-check and I very rarely proof read -
there are better things to waste my time upon. I find the informal
approach lends itself to the kind of lively banter often seen in
uk.rec.motorcycles, the newsgroup where I'm currently reading this
delightful cross-post.

Thanks for sharing that with us. It's always rewarding when first
impressions are proved accurate.


In a single sentence I'd not make a pause, there's no point in doing
so, it's a one line interruption.

Errrk! Could you repeat that, using sensible punctuation, so that it
makes sense to the reader rather than just the speaker?

Perhaps not.

In article , Ginge
wrote a few words
illustrating emphatically that he doesn't talk properly:

Treat it as though I was rudely interupting your diatribe, butting in
without drawing a single breath.

Thanks for sharing that with us. It's always rewarding when first
impressions are proved accurate.


"Anyhow, I see no point in carrying on with this...

...At least not until I find my ingerlish teecher and sew hymn fer knot
teaching me write.... I were just a GCSE guinea-pig, for crying out
loud... They aint not teached us nuffink!"

Thanks for sharing that with us. It's always rewarding when first

When I'm that drunk, pushing it is all I can manage.

No. It means you have a duff news prog.

Let that be a lesson to you.

Boring, boring, boring.

You and Des should meet up.

Ooh I say, that's a bit harsh surely? g

but, reading the rest of the thread, fair, I think you'd agree.
