    I didn't know you were singing @folklore.


    Hence the username, duh!

    Tell us more about it.


    That's nice of you to ask Alan, I'm training to be and opera singer so working up the ladder, which involves exams and lessons and theory! I hate the theory but it's necessary to proceed in a opera/classical sense :)
  • Ha!  I just thought some folks might get a kick out of this.

    Huge success of goth barbie

    My niece likes those; or at least she used to.
    If I were dead, could I do this?
  • Love the license plate I just saw

    IMOKUR2

  • Do you think that Chinese spam guy is actually just trying to learn english?  I mean it's pretty horrific, don't you know.

    OR, they are supposed to be trying to crack into a lot of government  databases.  Sheesh!  Maybe they agree with us that Goldrapp is so awesome, they need to find out how they do it!!!.
  • I can already see Carpy getting worried that I will babble all over the forum.  But, no, I won't get that drunk.  I wouldn't want you worried, Carpy, about anything!.
  • Lonely, so lonely..... Forums quiet but I predict round about 10.30-10.45 there will be a flurry of activity
  • haha yep. we just gotta sit and twiddle our thumbs i guess
  • I think I will get myself a cup of this ~O) and a biscuit and wait too. One eye on the forum one on Facebook.
  • Now that Sartori has pointed it out (and I ran across another example of it on the MIF thread, which I almost corrupted but decided to move to chit-chat), the plural or singular verb choice for a group of individuals (like "group" or "crowd") is just fascinating.  Is it a single group?  Or a bunch of individuals?  I just can't even hardly wrap my mind around it.  So, as a guest on a UK website, I feel I should apologize for using the singular but not much chance of changing my usage.  What can I say?  I'm easily fascinated.  I just keep trying to think of borderline cases, like "The groups", which is obviously plural but does that make a single group singular?  Well, anyways...  I doubt anyone but me is captivated by such nonsense....
  • Has anyone been to the "news" on the maine site?  Pretty weird.

    Also, finally found the link on the main page for the forum. Duh!  I thought it would be up there with twittor and facebook and stuff.
  • So, basically, I've met this rather lovely doe-eyed gentleman, and I'm about to make my move. I'm working on a draft of a note I plan to send him. Please, feel free to offer any sound advice. This is what I have so far:

    Dear Sexy Knickers,

    I don't half fancy you. Meet me outside at five thirty, and we'll get it together.
    If I were dead, could I do this?
  • ^Clearly, iuventus, you are not British.

    Might I suggest some small amendments? A more appropriate opening might be "Dear Sir or Madam", and any reference to undergarments should be made only after your Diamond wedding anniversary and only then couched in the most delicate and indirect way (a suitable term might, for example, be "unmentionables").

    These are the guidelines that have preserved my own moral purity these past fifty three years.

  • ^ LOL

    Just Keep Things Simple.....
    Love Goldfrapp.....
  • Oddly enough, I snagged that verbatim from one of the most popular British sit-coms of all time.

    Besides, moral purity is for the birds.
