Sex bomb.

Gland mine.

Improvised ecstatic device.

etc.

(That didn't sound like I chuckled at all but I did chuckle)

Re: racist

Moderating - the career of the future!

Re: Well,

OK, guys, let us not have a fight.

Re: AAMOI

Only five, actually.

Re: Re: r

To be fair I've got gigs on occasion that I wouldn't have got if I didn't know people (although you generally still have to be good).

Not this one, though. It was pure pedantry.

As you were.

Re: Percent versus percentage points

Well done sir, you win 2011 Pedant of the Year. The competition is now closed, thank you all.

(Yes that is correct.)

Re: Facebook is important

I am always thrilled to meet people who are not on Facebook because they are just so much *better* than other people.

Re: conspiratorial?

Me too. Every day. I look at my dog and I think, dog, I envy you.

Merry Christmas!

Re: No....

I see what you have done there and it is very clever and satirical but please stop now.

Re: Thank you

Aw.

Re: Land Walking Whales

It's funny because he's comparing women to prehistoric whales which were much larger than real women even the really fat ones.

Re: Vested Intrests ?

Yeah, yeah, shame on the Reg. SHAME.

Er, we quoted. We didn't endorse. Small difference. But still! SHAME! I love a good SHAME.

Re: Idiocy!

That's an incredible phrase-mangle though - 'guilded the lily'. Awesome.

Re: article updated?

To be fair, most comments on here look like nonsense, regardless.

I had to say it.

Re: Farcebook, two million users?

Two million in Korea.

Re: failTunes

That is indeed one of the best singles of the year, being a choon and all. I still think 'Stay Too Long' is better though. And I stand by my opinion of Ten Benson. Although I hated Hefner more.

Re: @Obviously

If *that* sarcasm - which was pretty much wearing a massive stupid festival hat saying "DUHH SARCASM" in the most unsophisticated fashion - went over anyone's head, then I despair of everything, frankly.

Re: LOL@ Teecee

Well, yeah.

Re: Mr Pedantic

That's slanderous! etc.

Really, though, imagine the screams of bewilderment if we used 'literatim'. Who uses that?

Re: Once

"It's sawn off because of er the lack of storage space in modern accommodation, officer."

Is it legal to own any kind of sawn-off? Ever?

Re: @Cool Hand Luke: Every Heard Of "Voting By Foot" ?

People are rude to Americans all the time anyway. I doubt they'd notice any difference.

(Er, don't be rude to people based on where they come from. It doesn't say anything good about you.)

Re: Twitcher

Some words have more than one meaning. I have noted this.

Re: Where's our moderatrix ?

I am here. Reading all your wonderful comments.

Re: @Sarah Bee

Yes, I know, arguments happen, but eventually you have to let 'em go.

Also the constant shouting of 'FUD' is hurting my ears.

Re: real smart

I'm not sure it counts as an epidemic. I think one person was proven to have died as a direct result of taking it. Seventeen deaths or so were 'linked' to it, but they all involved a shitstack of other substances... often not including mephedrone itself, funnily enough.

A lot of people took it, yes, and probably still do when they can find it. No one's dying. Other slightly different drugs have replaced it already, and will eventually become illegal, and the whole process will start afresh. I think by 'epidemic' you mean 'moral panic', where a lot of brain cells die spectacularly all over the media, but the body count stays resolutely low.

Re: Little wife

Good point.

Re: re:sarah and the man in sunglasses

That'll be it.

I'm closing this thread now, but there will be another one along on this subject presently (oh goody!).
