    It seems Dave was at Vito's daughter's party on Tuesday night and had a few too many (more drunken antics, first the dodgy photo now this) and had to me removed.

    However I'm gald he doesn't take Vito's approach for if he was to remove all annoying posters (and indeed the drunk ones) there would be nobody left![/quote:1tuzxz8k]

    Agree Cookie. But I do think that there is a childish fixation on people's spelling and grammar on this site and I'd really like it to stop. There's far more than on other sites I contribute to. This thread is a good example, started by the guy who runs p.ie ffs. How 'bout Dave issues a moratorium on people trying to humiliate posters by mocking their grasp of English or Irish? Starting with himself. It's cheap, nasty and a waste of space.

    I don't recall mocking any posters' level of Irish. In fact, really vito, you are the only one who has done that.

    Ah, it's not *just* about spelling, it just happens to be the headline. I'd link to it regardless.

    They did. I realised that Barry McColgan mightn't have. Anyone know who Gerryjunior is?

    And have a link to his Bebo account?

    And have a picture of his mother?

    And a picture of a goat?

    And a copy of Photoshop?

    I've come across pedantic grammar Nazis on other sites which make the ones here look indisciplined and amateurish. They need to step up their game.
    A poster of some consequence...

    "I'm disappointed to see that you like someone I threw out of my daughter's GCSE party on Tuesday night for getting drunk and annoying everybody."

    Sorry 'bout that. That should read "look like someone". Now I'm all embarrassed.
