    How come Robert's picture has changed - but mine hasn't?

    Is it a taxi?

    Fortunately not Helen, it's a special edition Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.5ltr V6 which costs me an absolute fortune to run. Found out this morning it's great fun in the snow though! So if anyone wants to buy it, I'm open to offers!

    Robert

    A man in a Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.5ltr V6 stops at a red light and a guy on a scooter pulls up next to him. The guy on the scooter leans over and takes an admiring look at the inside of the Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.5ltr V6 and tells the driver that he has a really hot car.

    Well, the light turned green so the driver of the Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.5ltr V6 decides to show off and peels out and leaves the guy on the scooter with grey slush over him. Then, all of a sudden, he sees the scooter at his shoulder.

    So, being a little cocky, the Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.5ltr V6 driver floors it again. A few seconds later, he again sees the scooter is still there. So now he's a little irate as well as a little mifted that that scooter is there, so he floors it until he is going over 100 mph.

    He thinks to himself that there would be no way that scooter could catch him now, but then looks in the mirror and sees that scooter is still there. He then decides to find out what that scooter really is and slams on his brakes.

    Then the scooter skids into the Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.5ltr V6. After the snow settled, the Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.5ltr V6 driver sees the scooter driver lying in the road and goes over to him and asks how he could go as fast as the Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.5ltr V6 on a little wimpy scooter... The dying man replied, "I can't really, but my AAT Student Scarf was caught on your side mirror...."

    :lol:

    Disclaimer:

    As with all these kinds of jokes, they are a generalisation and do not imply that all drivers of" Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.5ltr V6's" would behave this way!

    Any resememblence to any owner of said vehicle is strictly coincidental!

    Watch out for the driver of a Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.5ltr V6 near you very soon when you're out pavement pounding.

    No problem - not sure how true your aim would be - I would be a moving target and not stationery - unlike white lines!

    Re:Branscome E-Bay

    Spelling lesson for today: The easy way to remember it, is that a stationer would sell stationery

    So therefore, if you are not moving you must be stationary

    Simple when you know how :lol::lol::lol:

    Can someone though tell me how to remember the difference between principal and principle :?

    Well, it was early in the morning and I think you should let me off the hook - please!

    Does the rule on principles vary in Monaco?

    Re:Branscome E-Bay

    Helen, write out 1000 times;

    E is for envelope when I want stationery.

    You should be ashamed of yourself.

    Principal is first in rank or value.

    For example, the principal aim of this post is to teach you some English.

    Principle is a set of moral rules or basic laws.

    For example, having to have the last word was a matter of principle for Malcolm.

    Re:Branscome E-Bay

    This also confuses people, but a way around it is to say....

    To affect something is the action that causes the end result, an effect.

    By affecting the ship's course, the effect was dramatic.

    Sorry, couldn't think of a good sentence then, I'm still getting over Helen's error :lol:

    Re:Branscome E-Bay

    Thanks Malcolm - but how when on the spot do I remember the difference between principal and principle - an example like your E for envelope would be fab :lol:

    If I do nothing else today, at least I've encouraged healthy debate about the important issues of today!

    :wink:

    Have I really got to spell check everyone's posts and produce a spreadsheet with the errors?

    Malcolm - he who casts the first...dictionary... have you read your profile on the calendar!!!!!

    Pedantic is as pedantic does!

    Hold on a cotton picking.....

    If you mean the error in the reference to Countdown, do not blame me.

    This time, it is the messengers's fault and not the ivory tinkler!

    It's a matter of principle now.

    If we're casting dictionaries at one another, since when does one use exclamation marks when asking a question?

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

    Sorry Malcolm - you missed the 'point'!

    Enough! No more! I can't cope!

    Our office supplies company has just 'phoned to say their lorry's broken down - it's stationary!

    Must dash - nipping to a Suzuki showroom to see what all the fuss is about!
