    ITYF that conversation was with Lady Astor and the beverage in question was
    coffee rather than brandy.

    Other than that, spot on.

  3. I knew it was attributed to Churchill. But whether he actually said it
    or not is another matter.

    Ooops. I had a feeling it was coffee but had no idea about the Lady
    Astor.

    Cheers.

    Tradition, mainly.
    Yes, but there will be other occasions when ending a sentence with a
    preposition leads to confusion.

    Thanks all for the critique of the site.

    It was a simple request and not a call to action for a flaming match.
    You could have quite easily ignored the post rather than spend time
    slagging off a review or the site design itself.

    I didn't write the review, it was kindly written by a site visitor, no
    harm there I'd say. If I wanted professional reviews I'd pump money
    into the project and get someone to do it properly but it's only a
    "hobby" or "a bit of a time killer".

    So, please for the sake of other people trying to make a project a bit
    of fun and gain interest, just ignore a post if you don't like it eh?

    Do you feel better now you've slagged my site off? I apreciate your
    comments but you really could have simply ignored the post and saved
    yourself some time (time that could have been spent writing a
    "correct" review)

    For someone that's just trying to get interest in his hobby by posting
    in what he thought would be a good place now knows that asking for
    something so simple is obviously a difficult task to others.

  9. Nu fucking chance.

    If you can't recognise crap copy when it's sent in, you shouldn't be
    running the site.

    It's shit, and you're full of it.

  10. And this nonsensical jumble of words shows *precisely* why you'd be
    better off... ermmm... I dunno, helping the aged or something.

    I say old boy, do you think you could do what is commonly referred to as
    "sorting out your fucking attributions" and give us just the teansiest
    clue as to whom and what you are replying.

    The usual convention is to leave a bit in, rather in the manner I have.

    So then, exactly when did you realise you were born to be an editor?

  13. What do you want help with?[/QUOTE]


    I had earlier asked for people to submit reviews of their bikes at my
    website. Harmless thing to do but it would appear you need a degree in
    English otherwise you'll get kicked to the floor and stamped
    upon....repeatedly

  14. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember Graeme Simpson
    Oh just **** off - you're selling mobile phones, bike accessories and
    t-shirts and will soon be charging for classified ads.
    Don't pretend you're doing this for our benefit.

    It's a commercial site, thinly disguised as a personal one, and what you
    did was effectively ignore the group charter about advertising
    commercial undertakings, which makes you a spamming ****.

    Well, it was about when I decided not to read 'Warren Peas'.

  17. No - just an ability not to write in the electronic equivalent of purple
    crayon.

    Oh, and as someone else pointed out, we don't like people trying to plug
    their commercial sites here.

    That's just plain cruel, nicking the Doc's stick. You'll regret it
    when she's mobile again.
