  1. And so it happened, as is oft the case in life, that their paths crossed without either being any the wiser (not that letters can be attributed with having any actual wisdom, but if they did, it wouldn't have been much help anyway). When Bob was finally allowed to disembark in Greenland, the first thing that struck him was that it wasn't actually green and he wished he'd packed a warmer jumper. However, ever stoic, he .................

  2. "I'll take that!" declared Captain Sigurdsson and he disappeared into his cabin and locked the door. He was not seen again for several days and any attempts to rouse him were greeted with loud giggles. This left the Breaking Wind under the captaincy of First Mate Archibald Horatio Wilberforce Shufflebottom, who had the unfortunate habit of ..............

  3. if he attached his lifeboat to the squid, his journey would be all that much quicker. Life as Pea Inspector in Pemberton's Premium Peas had not been the optimum learning ground for all things sea-faring, so maybe Bob could be excused for this misguided decision. No sooner had he thrown a stout rope and snagged one of the giant creatures tentacles, when ...............

  4. I've tried 3 times to find the correct way to reply to this so it doesn't make me sound like I'm trying to start trouble.

     

    I'll try to make it short and say that several of your posts come across as being offensive to Americans . Some have also trash-talked the Australian accent .

     

    Very disappointing  . 

     

     NOT NICE ,folks .   :(

     

     

    Do as I do, ignore the offending posts. There are good and bad on every forum, but much more good than bad on this forum.

     

     

    What muggle said in his just previous post is true Julie. 

    But I will admit to the fact it annoyed me as well.  I've ignored it so far.

    Trash talk is not nice, no matter where it comes from.  It only shows the ignorance of the speaker.

     

    Can I just apologise to you three if anything I've said in my posts was offensive to you, it was never my intention to trash talk anyone. From your replies it's obvious that you have better manners than all the rest of us put together :friends0:

  5. Yes, indeed! Bob went on to climb the ladder of success and became head pea inspector at the local pea factory, a position of which he was rightfully proud. Peas featured strongly on the menu back where he came from and quality control was everything. As Bob stalked and poked around for rats, he thought back fondly of those happy days of gainful employment where every day was filled with excitement and began wondering if retreiving this bag was ...............

  6. Paddington Bear, Emily. :)

     

    I spent a lot of my early years entranced by this duffle-wearing, marmalade-loving bear. I would get to meet Mrs. Bird and Mr. Gruber. I could practice my hard stares all day long.

     

    Yes, it's the world’s first mod for me, Paddington Bear.

    Awwwww......that is so sweet :)

     

    I always wanted to be Heidi as a child and I even went as far as having pet goats and naming them after Heidi's goats. Some of the names were quite a mouthful ...Schwanli and Schneehopli. I desperately tried to aquire the taste for goat's milk .....but alas, no.

  7. I don't think we should be too hard on people, most mistakes are unconscious ones. Not everyone has the advantage of a good education and quite often it's just the way they've always heard things said.  And I'd be the last one to criticise, I'm sure I frequently make grammatical errors (ending sentences in prepositions etc) and my spelling is often questionable.
