I think we can rise about the spelling and gammatical errors and respect the content of what has actually been written.
We may be a bunch of bush loving nomads, but we have more important things to do than pull fellow nomads to pieces.
Nobody is perfect, but the nomads come damn close.
We're here for the fun and info.

well I must apoligise for being one of, if not the most grumpiest one here, 12 hour days and 4 - 5 hours every night phone counsel does that, I sometimes bring my "leftovers" to the forum


as for spelling and grammar, who cares??? information on travelling and courtesy shown to others is what is expected and found right here, quite often found lacking in myself and for that I also apoligise!!

BLESSED ARE THE CRACKED FOR THEY ARE
THE ONES WHO LET IN THE LIGHT!

Obviously y'all have not been paying attention to a word I have said.
I have made numerous snide gybes about spelling, puctuation and grammar and not one of you has risen to the bait except perhaps Dave and Rolly who are both obviously edumacated.
Give me a break, Pauline expletive deleted Hanson is smarter than you lot!!!
ROTFL!!!!!

dave you are not 'grumpy' just sometimes you are 'emotionally challenged' which is not a bad thing. Did I spell that right now i've started to worry. cheryl

Oops sorry diversifying again.

Stay on the medication sunshine it will kick in eventually.

No one cares if the spelling right or wrong or if the punctuation is correct it's your willingness to engage with others without fear of criticism that maintains our balance in life . Get high on life.

Yes, I have been rather quiet these last few weeks.
Never mind I'll build up a 'head of steam' over the next week or so and return to my usual lowering of the standard of postings.

It's excellence, by the way, and you really should add a space between sentences..........

Honestly if you can't get it right I'll keep posting Vera Lynn Videos untill you do. Poor grammar and spelling lets the side down chaps it lets the side down.....
If you want a grey nomad to represent you as the next PM you have to appear to have the abilty to bull**** the masses....

those that may be orally challenged and wish to have everything "in order" may benefit from a "spell checker" 

I use I.E. spell it can be downloaded from here 

http://www.iespell.com/download.php
 
but honestly it doesnt matter, it is the content we are after not the icing, and as Ibbo says it is the cameraderie that is of utmost importance not the spelling, 

personally if I can read it then it is fine regardless of spelling mistakes

My original post was to pay a compliement to the Forum members as a whole who make this Forum such a pleasant one.My remark about spelling etc.seems to have been taken in the exact opposite mode to which they were intendedI dont give a stuff about how people spell,punctuate or whatever.My point was that unlike some Forums this one always treated everybody fairly.Cheers.Ibbo.

And will continue to do so, the spelling police are on the other fora where they belong and I sincerely hope they stay there.

I've never seen so many spelling misteaks. Must be the gray gone to the brane.
