Just listened to Johnny Walkers "Fire and Rain - The James Taylor Story" on i-player. Great interview and very candid - much talk of his addictions. Well worth a listen. Great man - great songwriting. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00kn4rg/b00kn3ww/Fire_and_Rain_The_James_Taylor_Story_with_Johnnie_Walker/

I`m going to claim that one as a typo!!

Don`t tell me that Susan Boyle is involved.

I think that I have, but my laptop has had too much Guiness tonight!

Terry Wogan? It is isn`t it? It`s Terry Wogan!

Colin Clarke

You`re not taking this spelling and grammar thing seriously, are you?

Is that a euphemism?

You would make a great dad!

Or a picture of Graham Norton.

It is educational. BTW, where is the capital letter at the start of your post?

That was what I was trying to say.

The only "proof" you`ll get on here from now on will have the word "reading" after it.

At the moment there is no concrete news as to what is actually happening. There is an, as yet, unsubstantiated rumour of an Irish bid. HTH.

Anything to help raise standards. Don`t forget the lady though.

F*cking pedants!!

Both can be correct depending on the situation. E.G. "It was (X and ) me" or "(X and ) I did it". And you a teacher. What chance do our children stand!

It`s bad enough having to read the BS on here, but when it is littered with spelling mistakes, inacurate puntuation and bad grammar, it is just unforgivable.

At last! A campaign to raise the appalling literacy standards on this forum!

Sorry, but the new Poet Laureate has only just been appointed.

She is quite correct. If you omit "my family and" from 'a very proud day for my family AND ME' it makes sense which it doesn`t if you use "I". That in general is the rule.

No full stop at the end? Don`t pretend that the smiley-thing is a full stop. It just won`t do!

A very good point, well made, if I may say so!

Correct use of the English language is very important and much under-rated!
