Re: but...

I love that bit.

"Man, I would shoot you in the face - IF I could AFFORD it!"

@Spleen

Oh yeah, don't think I agree with this kind of kneejerk foolery. If people want to be twatty to each other they'll find ways to do it, but then it's easier and headline-grabbinger to treat symptoms, not causes, etc etc etc forever.

Re: Seriously...

There's a cream bun here with your name on it, Edward.

Re: it was prophesied

>>i wrote in my blog a while back that if Microsoft can convince the world that Vista is here to stay, it will be the biggest coverup and face-slap since 911.

Well, it's good to know people have a reasonable sense of perspective on this.

Re: @Tim

Named 'after', surely, not 'for'?

Snurk.

Re: @Darren Lovell

What's this about 'and'? I mean, in that case I maybe should have added a 'to', as in 'led to an insufficient number of customers, and to bankruptcy', but that's a bit clunky. It's not wrong as it is. It's certainly not a rule - 'and's come after commas all the time.

'That unholy segue of circumstances begat bankruptcy hard on the heels of a customer dearth.'

*dusts hands*

There.

So! Motorola, eh?

Re: In other news...

Thank you for the feedback, Allowicious Smythe-Jones St Penisface. We always appreciate it.

Oh, sorry, you meant to post anonymously, didn't you? Tsk, buttermodfingers!

>>It's even more amusing when someone makes sarky comments about someone - but in the wrong thread!

They have overrun the entire site. Obv.

So, yeah, Orange...

Re: Sigh...

Um, I think he's just pointing out that they're all equally illegal, kinda thing.

Re: Worldpay?

>>when She Who Must Be Obeyed (yes, some Reg readers can manage relationships with the opposite sex)

Not for much longer if you refer to her as 'She Who Must Be Obeyed'. The politically correct choice these days is 'Old Ball & Chain', isn't it?

Re: Er ...

True - it was Davies who realised the concept but strictly speaking it wasn't his own idea. Apparently the poor wee lad was upset that it was only the size of Peter Kay, and not the size of a double-decker bus as he had originally imagined.

Re: Original article - being censored by El Reg?

I am so sorry for censoring you.

I'm donating a tenner to Amnesty on your behalf right now.

Re: Boffins

Yes we do. It's standard procedure. What's your point?

Re: "I claim the word "eggtard"... "

Cuss-tard!

Snurk.

Re: "Have Your Say" - LOL

I ban boring posts. Possibly not enough of them. But then we're not paid for by the licence fee. Makes all the difference. And I'm sure they have been over-zealous. Still have trouble equating comment moderation with 'censorship', though.

Re: @ImaGnuber

TeeCee: Nah.

Re: real reason they hate the english...

>>if you TRY to say a few words, no matter how badly, they will be very pleased that you TRIED... and usually will reply in perfect english!!! :)

Um, not in my experience. Whenever I've tried (not completely ineptly) to speak French to the French, they have looked at me with such utter disdain that it's like a whole new level of disdain like you've never seen before. But then I know Paris is 'different'. (If anyone posts that icon after this I will punch them to the ground.)

My friend was going to learn how to perfectly say, "I shall not sully your beautiful language with my clumsy tongue, please may we converse in English?" Well, it's got to be better than pointing at pictures in a book and doing Looks and muttering "mercy bo coo".

Re: Gaffe gaffe.

I wouldn't usually let that sort of comment through but since it's Friday, I am feeling frisky, it is a lovely example of irony and it was not my gaffe, I gladly will.

Haw!

Re: They should be forced to liquidate...

'Gaol' is a stupid spelling wrongness and must die.

Re: That's not even slightly scary!

Ah, dervheid. You'll learn. You'll learn soon enough.

Re: and sixthly

Truly it's a hard life, Sam.

Thanks all for these. Answers soon. Stop chewing on your nails, it is unsightly.

Re: So what's wrong with "he he"?

I approve of the old school, although I am not averse to the occasional ZOMG.

Heh.

pedant lesson

Why do I feel like having a cigarette after reading that?

Re: @Athiest vs Agnostic

Most people don't understand what 'agnostic' is, that's for certain. Still not sure myself, opinion seems divided on the matter. But I tend to think of it as a bit of a bullshit non-position to adopt. There's room for reasonable doubt in both atheism and theism, if you're doing it right.

Re: UK's Biggest Cow

Oof.

Re: @Hans

Hmm, sterilisation for every crime. What could possibly go wrong?

Re: Not since

Wow, that's good sweary. You did forget to add 'pimpstick', though. And 'miserable little bag of puke'.

Re: @Spleen

I'm mostly in agreement too. There has been a shift, certainly. I have a strong inclination to tell people to stop twatting about (well, obviously) but feel at a serious disadvantage being but a slip of a girl. If the men in your life find out that you, as they see it, aspire to be some kind of have-a-go heroine they are furious. Whether that's sexist or sensible, I really can't tell.

Re: the 'royal we' again!

It's a journo thing. One wouldn't understand.

Re: Re Sarah

I would never bitchslap anyone for having an unfortunate skin condition. Only for being moronic.

So.

Re: @Comment Moderator

Hur. Well, I'll leave them as they are so you'll just have to look away, but I might start nixing them. I might.

Re: Damn hippies!

Smoke some fags and play some pool?

Re: but security is work

Thanks Hollerith - that one shouldn't have gone up. I've deleted it. Shan't let through any more like it. It's not cricket.

Re: I have not had problems

I endorse your cut and paste comment.

Re: "power plants"

Ooh, I think my patronising alarm just went off.

Re: Salads

Or if it's tossed, obviously.

Oh dervheid, if you ever use the words 'hell' and 'handcart' in the Littlejohn configuration again I shall have to give you a good slap with a copy of the latest Will Self.

Re: Re: Never trust a junkie

No, Steve, that wasn't the word I nixed your comment for. Doesn't offend me but can't put it up here.
