  1. Believing the internet dictionary is one of the reasons grammar has gone to pot. If you believe that, then read this: http://i-shrugged.blogspot.com/2008/02/into-or-in-to.html It's just as believable as the one you found, which is incorrect. You can reword the statement to read similar to; "he laid in, to Gordon Brown". But the comma is not needed, however it helps to show why the use of 'into' is incorrect in this instance when you read the statement properly. Bye.
  2. Don't try and be clever when you're wrong. Now go and look up the definition and use of "into" and "in to". "In to" is associated with doing something. So by laying in to Gordon Brown, he's doing something, rather than "into" which would make no sense when used in that context. Yes; his comment about lorry drivers was hilarious. Are you a lorry driver perhaps? How many have you murdered recently?
  3. Yes quite! I can't stand this latest craze of bashing Ross for everything, it's the Daily Mail/Express lot no doubt who cry out; Why have immigrants come here and dug up Princess Di?
  4. Why do you think people care what you're doing over the weekend? How sad.
  5. Well I think Clarkson is superb and very funny man who is perfectly entitled to lay in to Brown. I'm in my 30s (note that 30s doesn't need an apostrophe like you're wrongly using) and I have no intention of driving an "Evo".
  6. Yes the point is about "global warming" is that it does NOT matter. The Earth has been changing for tens of millions of years, different species have "ruled" the Earth and have been and gone. So what if the human race dies out? The Earth doesn't exclusively belong to us does it? We're just here as we've evolved with the climate and food on offer over the last 10,000 years. The Earth and other species were here a long long time before we were, and will be here a long long time after we've been here. I couldn't give a stuff if the climate changes, because it will anyway in the next 10s of thousands of years, regardless of what we try to do now as humans. The Earth will continue to live as long as the Sun does and there will always be a species who will "rule" it. Why does it have to be Humans for eternity more? It doesn't. So, if we wipe out the Human, big deal. Bring on the next evolution of whatever species will cope with the warmer/colder/wetter/whatever the climate is.
  7. Fair play to the Echo and to Wotte for finally stepping up the plate to answer the questions being asked. But why has it taken so long? Maybe members of this forum are just more nosey than certain people in the club give them credit for!
  8. If it wasn't for the pesky kids, I'd have gotten away with it ...
  9. I've got this; http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_duet.html Great piece of kit and looks nice too with the screen on the remote control. Use it to stream music from my storage drive, plus also for internet radio - connected via optical to my Bose system. Sounds fantastic and is really easy to use.
  10. Two things; firstly you'll not be able to manipulate this forum on Leon's behalf in the manner Wilde and to some extent Lowe did, in the past. People are far too wise to that now on here. Secondly these people willing to support Leon, but not Wilde and Lowe. I don't buy this. Where were they when Leon had 8 (or was it longer?) months in charge? Also if they really wanted to give the club some money what's to stop them doing it on the insistence that Wilde/Lowe etc step down?
  11. Only on the wallet and the risk of stroke :confused:
  12. I hope he mops up after himelf?
  13. Just in case anyone wants it, Waterstones have a "I can has cheezburger?" book with all the pictures and captions in. I wasn't stood in the shop chuckling at it and I haven't bought it for anyone, honest. Aha >>> http://www.amazon.co.uk/I-Can-Has-Cheezburger-Icanhascheezeburger-Com/dp/0340977574
  14. Are Woolworths really celebrating 250 years serving the public? If true, a very sad loss ...
  15. I don't understand this? When my ex-wife's Nan was ill, they had a company come round and install a reconditioned stairlift inc. rails, free (I think it was charitable), but dealt with via the NHS (as this was in Scvnthorpe, I assume North Lincs PCT?). Then when she unfortunately died a few months later, the same company came and took the whole lot back - they said they would reuse it all elsewhere. I assume as a lot of houses in that area are the same size, build and so on that this wouldn't be an issue.
  16. What a fantastic weekend :-|
  17. I just suddenly became ill! I'll leave it there if that's okay :-)
  18. Only twice, thank goodness. Once when two cars over took me on the A31 past Ringwood (I had 2 passengers otherwise that wouldn't have happened ) the second car was tailgating the first car, once past me tried to undertake, but the first car pulled in. Hence second car had to take evasive action, hit the edge of the road and flipped multiple times right in front of me landing upside down. Therefore; emergency services were called ASAP. Second time was an ambulance for me
  19. "Jan: Were Not Playing Like a Relegation Side" No, we were not playing like a relegation side. But we are now. (sorry, couldn't resist the grammar dig as it makes the statement more truthful)
  20. Having read the article and basing my facts only on what I've read; it would appear to me that the MD needs to do a "back to the floor" week. It seems that the routes are not well enough planned to allow time to cash up and rest between them which means the drivers probably do have a basis to complain. There is obviously a requirement for some analysis of how they all work and interact and then a process that needs fixing/amending or even to be created. I love business transformation ...
  21. Thank god, finally! F1 days before refuelling was introduced was much better and I remember (probably rose-tinted of course) better racing, more overtaking etc etc etc. I hate watching now and wondering if x is faster than y and z because they have much less fuel and not thinking it's driving talent, or indeed a better car. Great move.
  22. Another nail in the coffin for supporting football in this country. If I want to watch something sterile with no interaction with the crowd or players, I'll go and watch tennis.
  23. Er?? Pot and kettle Mr. MLT!
  24. As he's seen working hard in the gym pretty much every day, I would say he's pretty fit. Would be worth seeing if he's up to much on the football field still!?
