I never accused you, wacko. Please. Can Canadians read the English language, or are they all as ignorant as you? Well maybe if you knew how to write the English language you wouldn't begin a sentence with a conjunction. Well, you were able to get sort of a retraction from Scott, which is a major victory around here. But he corrupted it with the appended "wacko" and "ignorant" insults. No retraction at all. I cannot retract Alan Baker's psychopathic lies, you ignorant wacko. You can't actually quote any, either. Or at least you've always been too cowardly to try... In S-world, if you disagree with any of his points, then you are a buddy, friend or fellow terrorist of all those who have offended him. In S-world, if you lie, defame, manipulate the truth, and otherwise act like Richard Henry, you are a terrorist. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia "If you raise the ceiling 4 feet, move the fireplace from that wall to that wall, you'll still only get the full stereophonic effect if you sit in the bottom of that cupboard." |

writes Whether or not this is a good thing, I don't know. It may be another stepping stone along the path that eventually that considers SMS shorthand and Prince song titles like "I would die 4 U" acceptable use. With all due respect to Mr Language Person, stepping stones belong in rivers and bogs. You just have steps along a path, even if it's a path made of stones (unless it's been snowed on and you can ski it, naturally.) Do you Leftpondians have graffiti that say "boy's name 4 girl's name" (or the other way round)? Mobile phones weren't invented when those started. It's a sort of pun; it doesn't become accepted English until boring middle-aged blokes do it without thinking about it. -- Sue ];( |

writes Not sure what the fluro spray jackets are all about but they've begun wearing them on The Bill. They're quite practical in our climate, they keep wind and light rain out but you wear separate insulating layers underneath if required. Mine's red but I'd have preferred fluo yellow if I could've got it at the same price. The police have more reflective strips on, so it seems they're more worried about being accidentally run down by the Sweeney [1] than about being deliberately run down or shot by the villains. And theirs have POLICE on so they won't get pinched. [1] Rhyming slang: Sweeney Todd = Flying Squad, a motorised rapid-response unit that was famous among other police for attracting the men with the smallest brains and the largest gender insecurities. This was before SWAT teams, obviously. -- Sue ];( Law-abiding citizen, but our office is next to the Central Nick. |

They wear them when they are on the side of the road, annoying people with their speed cameras or random breath testing. No call for stab vests yet, but ours get to carry guns around which tends to put the stabbers off a bit. ant |
