    'I had two choices'

    No you didn't - you had one choice with two options.

    When is the last time you saw 'déjà vu' used to describe an actual experience of déjà vu?

    Actually, it wasn't.

    It was a loose screw which led you to lose your virginity.:p

    The one I see all the time particularly on the ebay forum is the use of payed and not paid.

    No,no,it's people who say "pacific", when they should say "specific"!!
    Have you noticed how people on Jeremy Kyle say "comdom" (no Jeremy Kyle snobbery please,it's fab car crash tv!)?

    Therefore, according to Jezza's doctrine,if you are about to lose you virginity,use a comdom,or you might become a babyfather. If you think they are lieing about Paternity,take a D & A test ( Dolland and Aitchison "aye" test,you must need it testing).

    I was watching GMTV this morning, when Lord (you're fired) Alan Sugar said prosecuted instead of persecuted whilst discussing bullying. He paused, knowing he had made a mistake but was too arrogant to correct it.

    It did make me chuckle.

    "You was" annoys me.

    What, you mean like this:

    (please feel free to familiarise yourself with the product and its business plan, and to discuss it whenever someone tells you about "what a great businessman that Sir Alan Sugar is", or whatever)
