My comment is being ignored over there.... as per...
All I said was I read the post as 'Troy Landslide' and was worried there was an earthquake imminent in Turkey that I was unaware of until now. Worry that is quite understandable - my son is over there at the moment and I'd hate to think he is in danger.... :-(

No bleedin sense of humour these Newshounds.

Busy? I'd never have guessed that :-)

I can always fit you in vibra.

Mr CRX messaged an old friend via friends reunited or something. He not seen this friend for years and years.

anyway, Mr CRX wrote about his life and what he was up to.

He included a whole section about how he'd taken up fishing again. How it was a hobby he really enjoyed as he could do it alone or with one of his mates. I think he even spoke of how i didnt like it at all.

Wouldve read a lot better had he put FISHING in the first sentance and not FISTING

I was in Hull a few weeks ago, and I saw a malapropism - not an actual printing or spelling mistake - on a plastic warning sign that was fixed to railings alongside Princes Dock. It warned cyclists not to park their bikes next to said railings, and threatened that any bikes that were so parked would be "compounded". I bet whoever produced that sign was very proud of his/her effort.

Here's another one that I just remembered. Many years ago I read this in a magazine, and it's supposed to be true. Well, it goes like this. A local newspaper printed a story about a retired army officer who had been involved in some sort of campaign to preserve something or other. The paper referred to the officer as "a battle-scared warrior." Naturally there was a complaint from said officer, and the paper printed an apology. "What we should have said," wrote the paper, "was 'a bottle-scarred warrior'."

bookbinder,you reminded me of this one in a newspaper.
at the end of a story about a burglary, it said sergeant----- is a defective in the police force.
the following week in apology it wrote,of course sergeant----- is a detective in the police farce.

LOL I love them.
do you think it's only the English language that does it? no, not an excuse for another thread btw.
It brightns up the day tho.pmsll RED... did Mr CRX's pal ever reply?

[mrs.chappie]

I spotted a bit of graffiti that made me chuckle. It was a sign saying "disabled parking only". Someone had defaced it to read "isable king only". I could imagine the frustration from someone trying to park, then realising they weren't allowed cos their name's not Isabel King.

(I made that last bit up. It was quite obvious that someone had played a silly prank).

I always liked the sports report in our local paper about a rugby player who had to come off due to a "damaged thing muscle". I always wonder what they were hanging onto in the scrum!

Many years ago when the Poll Tax was at its highest, someone put in 10 foot letters on a wall near me "Say No To Pole Tax".
