Ant and Dec tonight.

[trt]

I watched a bit last week and turned over and gave it another go tonight, what a load of crap.

[MarkRae]

I couldn't agree more! No talent whatsoever...

[ELVIS68]

Apt name for it, Push The Button

[Dustybun]

I think you were very brave and charitable to give it another go ~ once was enough for me! :0)

[looobylooo]

its just a bit of light hearted harmless fun thats all,
a bit silly, granted, but well, what the heck..! lol

[MarkRae]

> its [It's] just a bit of [light hearted] light-hearted harmless
> fun [thats] that's all

Indeed - but that doesn't mean it's any good...

[looobylooo]

you like your brackets and apostrophes dont you mark ... lol ....
its a wonder you didnt pick up on my lack of capitals too!

[trt]

What makes me think, is how those family's can face their friends and neighbours, especially going to the pub.

[MarkRae]

> [you] You like your brackets and apostrophes [dont] don't you [mark] Mark

Only when required.

Is there actually a reason that you don't write properly? Do you have learning difficulties...? There are loads of really excellent adult literacy classes available these days...

[looobylooo]

no, no reason really mark, i guess its just laziness on here thats all, so i wouldnt worry about it if i was you, or waste your energy in correcting my posts :o)

That is so incredibly sad - I fee so very sorry for you.

As a nation we have so badly failed our children's education. We used to be a world power. Now, the only thing we have going for us is that a significant proportion of the developed world speaks our language.

And, some time in the 1970s, we decided that it was no longer necessary to teach it - for shame...

[looobylooo]

well thanks for your concern mark, not that i particularly want it, but thanks anyway.. most kind.

anyway, lets not hog trts post any longer eh - a bit unfair really, afterall this is meant to be about ant and decs show, not about my inadequacies :o)

[MarkRae]

Proves my point, really...

You actually don't care about your own language because you have never been taught why it's so important that you should.

Like I said, I feel so incredibly sorry for you...

[trt]

Well said looobylooo,

MarkRae does tend to go in different directions on peoples post.

[ELVIS68]

Bit harsh Mark

[looobylooo]

thanks again, but i dont want or need you to feel sorry for me.
i type correctly away from here.
im not sure why its such a big deal to you to be honest, do you pick up on others who use a similar style? do you work for the apostrophe police? lol
anyway, as i asked before, can we leave this now please as its a bit unfair to take over someone elses thread, discussing something that has nothing to do with the subject... :o)

[looobylooo]

thank you trt,
thank you elvis
up yours mark :o)

[MarkRae]

Regrettably, it's all too true...

Look at the vast majority of posts in here - it's a national embarrassment...

In the 1970s, the loony left decided that comprehensive education was the way forward and, in a few short years, we ended up with the first generation of school leavers who had not been taught their own language.

Now we have a nation of people like looobylooo who are incapable of writing their own language correctly. And, to make matters worse, they don't even understand why that's a problem.

And the biggest shame of all is that it's not actually their fault - they've simply not received a proper education...

[looobylooo]

oh give it a rest will you!!
youre not impressing anyone with all your your boring chunter.
go and poke your nose into someone elses post and irriate them instead if this is how you get your thrills.
good night.
