    I've always kept quiet about it, seeing that I moan about enough things as it is, but I'll start pointing them out now! :p
    Please don't, dear Dormouse! We'll have the "I-don't-want-to-read-through-six-pages-of-spelling-corrections-to-find-a-link" brigade assaulting our eyeballs every few posts.

    Besides, it does get tedious - even these few posts have rattled my cage!!

    I agree that PB should have someone proof-read their text before it appears on the site. And if they want to pay someone to do it, I'll apply!

    But although it might provide a brief wry smile to point out these shortcomings, it is a short-lived joy!

    I was rather hoping that someone would say a few words of praise for PB today, after all the new quizzes, etc., that were discovered by members last night. So, from me to the comp-spotters, AND to PB,"Well done, and thanks!"

    Yes thanks Pigsback!

    By the way does anyone watch 'Its Not Easy Being Green?' on tv? Does !!!!!! Strawbridge remind you of anyone?

    My god, I can't escape this forum even when I'm watching tv... must get a life

    PS I might be being a bit obscure, seems like a cross between Obelix and Droopsnout to me !

    I do agree with DS that pages and pages of pointing out spelling mistakes would be extremely tedious to say the least...

    ....however, I just have to mention my favourite part of the PB site. When you go to see your account or Piggypoints and it asks you for your password with the words: "I forget my password"

    Now that's either incredibly bad spelling/grammar, or it's supposed to be like that (try saying it in an Iriish accent and it kinda works!)

    Given it's a page that must be viewed hundreds, if not thousands of times a day, it does tickle me somewhat :rolleyes:

    LOL :rotfl:

    I've just tried saying it out loud in my best Irish accent, then laughed my socks off at the silliness of the situation, and my 2-year-old has come to me with a very concerned look on his face, going, "Are you okay, Mummy?" :rotfl:

    And yes, I've wondered about the "I forget" bit for a long time. :confused: In my little world, it has to be said with a Russian accent, for maximum impact. :rotfl: :confused:

    I think when Darragh has rewarded people with Piggypoints, the mistakes they've spotted have been things like links that don't work, not spelling mistakes unfortunatley, or we'd all be very rich piggies.

    My original post was just a reply to lesliejacks post, saying don't be too hopefull for a piggypoint reward.

    I'm a very happy piggy, I've recently used a pizzahut voucher to treat my son on his birthday and I'm waiting for a arcadia voucher to buy a new top for a wedding :)
