[LANDROVER ROGER]

I have decided that today is a good day to open my Franz Ferdinand and Travis necklaces shop.

It's called 'Scottish Indie Pendants'.

[Hume]

How's it all going Roger? I saw your shop the other day, next door to the one owned by that Wok maker who seems to have branched out in to selling measuring devices.

Hom Rulers I think it was called.

[LANDROVER ROGER]

That was a very good response thank you Hume.I have to stretch my reply because I fear my response may be criticised by some tedious prat from Corby.

[jaywalker]

I hope you don't mean me, Rog.

[LANDROVER ROGER]

Certainly not jaywalker.Sorry for not being more specific.He knows who I am referring to.

Received a PM letting me know that I was being bad mouthed, and I thought "surely not". So here I am ,shocked to find it is true. Uncharacteristically though it took him more than one line,as he himself admits, he had to stretch his reply.

Thought I would add the smiley,it is after all the House of Fun

Bill
You sardonic.Sarcastic twat.I salute you.

AWWW thanks Dodger xxx .It is near impossible to be both sardonic and sarcastic at the same time. I am so pleased that you recognised this. I just would like to mention,no offense , that your grammar makes some of your posts near incomprehensible . I am sure Govan Girl would help if you were to ask. Then maybe not.

As for the second post ? I just do not get the gist of the message at all. Sorry.

[Govangirl]

Bill, if Codger can't understand the word 'goodbye' then I'm going to have problems with 'sardonic' don't you think?

[LANDROVER ROGER]

Quick!Hide!The grammar police are here!What is the correct spelling of "offence"please miss?I am sure that Bill`s is not correct unless he is American.

[LANDROVER ROGER]

And "Goodbye"does not mean that I am leaving.Not so cock sure now are you Miss Smug Knickers?

Offence vs. offense


"Other than how they are spelled and where they are used, there is no difference between offence and offense. Offense is the preferred spelling in the United States, and offence prevails in all the main varieties of English from outside the U.S.

The American spelling gained steam through the 19th century, after being promoted in Noah Webster’s 1831 dictionary and all later editions, but didn’t become the more common form in the U.S. until the early 20th century. The spelling was not invented in the U.S., however. Webster and his contemporaries, in forging what they viewed as a more logical and more American variety of the language, actually just revived an old spelling that had been appearing to varying degrees since the 14th century, long before the United States existed. The Oxford English Dictionary cites examples of offense from as long ago as 1395—and their earliest instances of offence are from just a decade earlier—though it is true that the modern British spelling was settled by the 17th century and that offense was no more than a rare variant by the time the Americans adopted it."

So not a spelling mistake.So glad I sorted that out for you.
