    classic fab - even in the enormously unlikely event that this is true it is just cringeworthily dumb to attempt to point out because no-one is going to believe it - and even if someone miraculously did believe it its so easily countered the hyper-gullible are mopped up a few posts later

    damn - i could write an essay on the "i cant believe you couldnt tell i was joking" defense - one day i might

    Ever thought about getting some counselling Emperor? You'll prob think I'm having a dig but I'm not, it's just that you seem to be all over the place emotionally. It might help centre you

    Never mind all the bitching, what I want to know is where did you find that nice big rolling eyes icon, Emp? It's important because I can actually see it without having to make the damned screen larger.

    This.

    I do a lot of mway driving now and of all driving transgressors it is the middle lane hoggers I am beginning to despise the most. They create huge congestion problems, sometimes going back a long long way behind them, and therefore they slow my journey down, sometime quite significantly, time and time again. They are therefore, selfishly, spending my life for me and I am beginning to get seriously irritated by it. Not averse to waking them up in this fashion when it can be done with a minumum of knobbery...

    im not really bothered about my knobbery levels because it is a different and vastly preferable variety of knobbery to lane hogging - i might cause a dreadful pileup that kills a busload of big-eyed children - they will (and already have) got in someones way when they didnt need to

    ... and didn't he mean eg (or e.g.) anyway??

    FWIW I don't mind if the full stops are omitted from such abbreviations. If that makes someone think my grammar is somewhat lacking, that's OK. It's the least of my grammatical problems - although I do try to be accurate in my use of it.

    That's cool, I didn't realise one only has to apply grammatical rules if one minds... I shall bear that in mind for the future
