Scally, return to your profile page pronto and correct 'compouting' and 'snowburoidg' otherwise people will start to think you are a complete idiot; and we wouldn't want that would we? :lol:

Ahem. "dont" should read "don't" (and that's slacking somewhat), and you could have done with beginning "I will be..." :D

And to be extra picky, "Rugby" in your profile doesn't need a capital letter :).

You walked straight into that one didn't you Mav? :wink:

As for you Sprout, don't you know it is bad practice to begin a sentence with the word "And". :)

Also, there was no need for the full stop after "Ahem", a comma would have been appropriate. That is confirmed by the fact that you did not use a capital to start the following sentence.

I would have expected an eagle-eyed lad like sprout to have noticed how my lazy typing produced the incorrect representation of etcetera. It should be typed e.t.c., not just etc.

I can see this topic going downhill very quickly.

P.S You didn't put a full stop at the end of your first sentence! :lol:
