i did realise the other day that at ss tills it will let you put in all 3 vouchers for 1 so made 80p on it
so if you still wanted to buy at £2.25 it would only cost you 45p

I'm sorry in a way to say I love the lonngggg conversation about it. It's something that I can get deeply interested in, especially as it's trying to identify the inconsistent and illogical line of approach that runs throughout the 'neuro-typical'-world approach on the entirety of ... well the entire of most things actually:rotfl::rotfl:. Especially this. I love my slight mischievousness that I can have on this sort of thing now. You lot (society) do give me such fun. I can understand why DS2 might go into detail or require such a long discussion - it can be, no, it is, because fathoming out such conventions and illogicalities is a very long task to us.

Would telling him it's a word used by American people, so British people use 'in trouble' or 'done for' (or whatever phrase you prefer) instead be an option? Is he likely to give up using it if it's not a 'proper' word for British people?
If not, yeah screwed is about right :rotfl:

I am always right:D:D:D.
(Except when I'm wrong, for a very brief period, and then I change my opinion so that it then is right:).)
:rotfl:You managed to quote my version where I'd edited an addition into it at the wrong point. I kept refreshing the page and going to a different one and then back to it as I couldn't work out why it apparently wasn't accepting my editing. Then I realised I'd put the relevant bit into the wrong part of the post:rotfl::rotfl:. All put right on OP now.0 -
