>I can take a good guess ;)

Oh, like I guess you walk around with bandy legs going, "Aaaright. Mad for it"
Just because I'm from Liverpool - doesn't mean I go around saying "Chiddaloderwack"

Maybe so - but not me.

>I find it somewhat strange that you wish to foist you "ever so" Englishness on every non-Englishman?

Don't. But I'm flattered that you follow my threds so avidly.

>Stuff like 'ppreciate it. If you were really interested in the confusion caused to a "non-anglophone", then do the right thing and spell "appreciate" properly so that they "may find it easier to follow".

It's at the end of the message and so has no bearing on the sense of the message.

>For God's sake, you only have to type an "a" - its not as if its shorthand!

I put in "'" in place of the "a" so it saves me nothing. It's short for "I would appreciate it" and is intended to sound like natural speech, like "'anks"

>Oh, you know them personally do you?

No, of course not, but I've heard them speak enough. "One was distracted at the time" can only mean "I ..."

Like how did "we" dismiss this?

If you think I'm good fun why make an enemy of me?

>>You're not happy unless you're fuelling a feud between us and I find you to be terribly sad.

>No, you just overreact and can't take a joke.

I only react to your snide little Mank jibes. Never a word of encouragement, agreement - only contention with what I say.

Yes but that one message is negative like all the others.

Well stop writing to me then, gobshite.
