Yes, he stepped down from this mortal coil

Rather predictable from the subject line.

Cheers, I'll try that tomorrow if it's not better by then

 

Michael Jackson's dead what? Eats, shoots and leaves?

 

You really need to understand grammar before you criticise that of others.

 

Whoosh.

 

Go on then, explain the error.

 

Michael jackson is deid => abbreviated to Michael jackson's deid

.... was correct when I went to school

It's a contraction, just like "it's" being short for "it is"

If you're going to be a pedantic ****, at least get it right

 

There's an "a" in dead.

 

I'm sure he knew his stuff but he did talk kak at times. I remember
reading a review of a whisky that he described as "reminiscent of
distant thunder" - what utter tripe.

 

And you'd have described it how - "wet, brown, tastes of whisky"? Not
everyone drinks whisky because they're thirsty.

 

*WHAT*?

 

I don't drink whisky, but if I did it'd be because I'm chemically
addicted to ethanol.

 

*I SAID, NOT EVERYONE...* OFFS, turn your hearing aid up, Grandad. You're
getting as bad as Ogden.

 

Which not that one? The famed software design guru?

 

No, the friend of Psmith.

 

I would describe it in terms of tastes and scents - sweet, salty, like
carbolic etc. So how does distant thunder taste and smell? Now, a
lightning strike might make a smell that I can associate with whiskies
but distant thunder? No.

At best he's describing something that he associates with distant
thunder and that has to be a personal experience. How's that supposed
to give me an idea of what that whisky is like? If I give someone an
Islay malt and tell them that it is very peaty and they may find it a
bit like carbolic I find they usually agree.
