English Standards, Etc.
Oddbodd/John, Chloe, I have to admit, I found this very amusing! However, I’m not surprised who started this, Mr. ‘I Know About English Better Than Anyone But I Don’t Really.’
For your information, over the years, English standards have chopped and changed even reverted back to previous standards, depending on where you’re from and what school you went to, etc. However, I’m going to comment on a couple of things raised to educate you both a bit with the current standards.
First of all, you BOTH don’t know how to use commas properly.
You don’t need to use commas before conjunction words like and, but, or, because, etc. anymore unless part of the sentence prior is a parenthesis (can be taken out and not effect the sentence for those who are not familiar with the term.)
Oddbodd/John, what Chloe meant, I think, was the comma after put when you told her to get a ‘sense of humour.’ It shouldn’t have been PUT there.
Now for the fun ones that John brought up:
1. Comma has 2 Ms – can’t disagree with this one. ‘I wouldn't know how to use a coma’ – however, John you know perfectly well how to use comas. You put people in comas when you bore them with your arrogance and being an a***.
2. "Sarcastically and humorous" - "Sarcastically" is an adverb and therefore has no place in this construction. I agree that ‘sarcastic and humourus’ or ‘sarcastically humorous’ would be best and is how I would more than likely write it. However, Chloe’s original way (apart from the spelling error) is still acceptable, depending on how you want the sentence said, etc.
3. My use of quotation marks and commas is quite correct, or at least one correct way of using them. No, have to disagree with that with the quote from TNC’s post. First of all, you didn’t quote him correctly. You only used part of the sentence and misquoted him but that’s you all over twisting people’s words. Maybe you should become a journalist or, better yet, a politician. They are good at twisting words. All quotes like that should be in single quotes not double.
4. Entire sentences should not be parenthesised, nor should the full stop appear within the parentheses. Absolute utter rubbish! Full sentences CAN be parenthesised. This happens regularly, especially in technical manuals. The full stop should ALWAYS be on the inside. This is a rule 90% of the public get wrong. ALL ending punctuation goes inside the brackets, inverted commas or quotation marks being used. A perfect example is when using speech. Look at where the punctuation is. The only punctuation that can be put outside a parenthesis is a comma, but, most of the time, there is no need for a comma after wards.
5. The present participle for the verb, "to shop" is, "shopping", not, "shoppin". Think this was just a typing error but this didn’t stop Oddbodd from being an A***.
6. "Sense of Humour" and, "Personality" have no need to be capitalised here. You’re right there’s no need but it is acceptable if she wanted to emphasis or refer to a name/title.
At the end of the day, who gives a flying f*** on forums like this as long as people understand what others are saying. John, you obviously don’t realise when someone is taking the p*** like Chloe has been. She is very good at English, hence, why I asked her to read my book. A bit of advice for Oddbodd/John, stop being an a*** about people’s writing/English abilities. You’re not our English teacher so f*** off. However, that won’t change you because you enjoy being a public a*** and it’s not surprising you fall out with friends easily and you wonder why I’m not talking to you.
That’s my say on the matter and I think this discussion closed should be closed – please let’s not have anymore of this crap getting at people’s English standards or it’ll be deleted. None of us are perfect on the forum with English, including me, so let’s just leave it. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a bit banter, etc with other subjects!

Well TNC I do mind you asking, as I do not believe in airing dirty laundry in public.
Fu** it! On this occasion I will since he likes doing it. It all stems back to a year ago, or maybe it's two now, when we were out for a friend's birthday. Oddbodd, and my friend whose birthday it was, were starting to be funny with me and starting questioning my sexuality. They then were accusing me of being gay and in a very serious 'in your face' way which I didn't take kindly to. Especially as it was in a public place where anyone could have heard and it wasn't the first time Oddbodd has done something like that. Given that he was a bit pi****, I resisted in doing something I may of regretted. At the end of the night, I gave him a lift home hoping to get an apology for being an ar**. Did I, did I sh***. As it was not the first time this had happened, it was then I thought, can't be bothered with this ar**hole if that's the way he goes on. He had plenty of chances to apologise but didn't (like someone else's behaviour on the forum, think that rubbed off on Oddbodd then it could have been the other way round.) His behaviour was so even Nige/H's company was far more tolerable than Oddbodd. It was almost like come back Nige all is forgiven.
That’s the reason why nothing else. Although kissing blokes is sick.

OMG! Knew he p***** you off Phil, but didnt realise why. Oddbodd R U an absolute moron? Actually forget I asked, you obviously are. A word of advice, 2 things u dont make fun of people with, or take the p*** out of them with, are disabilities, or sexuality; especially in public. For a guy that is supposed to be spit, and polish with English dont you know that word that begins with s and ends in y. its only small, but means a lot. Even if you couldnt apologise straight away whether Phil was talking to you or not, you wait until the right moment, and do it, but dont leave it too long. Sounds like H's attitude rubbed off on you. Actually its probably the other way round considering I used to hear good things about H from Phil until he stabbed him in the back. Do you have any friends left? If thats the way you treat them you dont deserve any! Do you know what the term friend means, because it sounds like you dont. I am disgusted!
As for Phil being gay I know someone first hand that can vouch he isnt. Come to think of it I can vouch he isnt after I heard Phil going hammer and tongs with them.
How can you treat someone as nice as Phil like s***? You couldnt ask for a nicer man, and good friend to have. I only hope you, and H realise, what a good friend youve lost in Phil. YOU MORON!

It's quite a while since I've posted on this, and thought I'd stop by to see what was going on. My god what has happened! See the bitchin' hasnt stopped. On one side we have H, and Oddbodd, on the other we have Chloe, TNC 2, and Philster. Hang on, whats wrong with that picture? Philster siding with TNC 2, WTF! When and why did he leave the three stooges?
Oh I see now. Tsk, tsk you daft gits H and Oddbodd. Where were you when brains were handed out, at the 7/11? They're still taking enrolments at colleges, so you both better sign up for one of those personality development courses. Better yet how about charm school, because you desperately need it if you treat friends like that!
I'll be watching closely on this!

He has indeed written one, in conjunction with another member of the theatre group. And a fine effort it is, too. It's not dirty and there are no whips.

It should also be pointed out that they certainly have worked hard on it - to the point where they could supply a full script at the pitch. I seem to recall that when you submitted yours, you were not able to (nor indeed had the decency to turn up to at least one meeting to represent it). |
Ooooowwwwwww! Handbags at dawn men! Someone is taking something personally when it’s nothing to do with him. LMFAOA! You’re a hoot Oddbodd (LOL!)
I’m a hypocrite! Since when did I become hugely over weight, grey, develop big eyes and a big nose (LMAO.) On a more serious note (but still being very cheery for this entire message), I have to say that’s a bit cheeky coming from the prince of hypocrites! Like always, you jump the gun and spout off without knowing the facts properly and talk out of you’re a***. Do you know what I said to H/Nige’s writing partner about the panto? Probably not! I congratulated her and wished her luck. Did I say anything like it was an excellent or good script, especially as I don’t think I had read it by then, NO! However, I did offer to give some constructive criticism, if she wanted it. Does that make me a hypocrite? NO, hence, my “so-called panto” comment. Out of sincerity, I do wish Nige all of the luck in the world because he’s going to need it and I don’t mean that to be nasty. Knowing Nige the way I do, it’s going to be hard for him to do and I hope he doesn’t just put in gags that’s been used to death.
Let’s face it, from what I’ve heard, Nige’s script didn’t have any competition in the first place so it was highly unlikely that it was going to be rejected. To be honest, I don’t like being too critical about people’s work in case it hurts them, especially when they put a lot of time and effort into. However, as for the panto Nige is involved in writing, the draft I read was bloody awful. The format wasn’t even right for starters and I don’t mean that it wasn’t in the US style. It wasn’t even the correct UK acceptable (old style) version for theatre. It wasn’t funny at all and didn’t seem to have a panto feel about it, hence, the comment. It wasn’t a thing to get at Nige because of our differences, etc. it was out of concern for the group as Nige is not a panto writer. The only thing that will save the panto is Sarah and the group contributing to it. Nige’s area of writing is fantasy stuff and he is very good at it, particularly descriptions. I’ll give credit where it’s due. If Nige wants to write stuff, and write stuff because he wants to and not because his friends are doing it, he should stick to what he knows best. There’s nothing wrong with having a go at writing a different genre and I’ll give Nige credit for having a go but don’t try something you’re weak at. It can be hard writing a script full stop, never mind writing a panto. I had a few niggles when I completed my panto about what to put into it, etc. I’d like to see you have a go Oddbodd! Only then will you have the right to criticise. There’s a challenge for next year!
About my script submission last year, are you trying to say that I don’t commit to a project and only do things half heartedly? If that is the case, you don’t know me at all. Why would I go to all of the trouble to submit a 90 page script I’ve poured my heart and soul into if, according to my sources, it wasn’t going to be picked regardless. That is one of the reasons why I only submitted part of the script in the first place. However, the other reasons I do not care to discuss on a public forum. Also, I was working on another project more important (my book) but if I was lucky enough to have my panto picked, I can assure you I would have been fully committed to it!
As for presenting it, I would have had the decency to present it but one week I was ill and the other I went to see Kylie. By that time, the group had to have a decision made regardless so don't try and and hold that against me. Like I said, why should I have gone to all of the trouble to present it if it wasn’t going to be picked. However, anyone that knows about pitching ideas, etc. will tell you that you don’t do a full script anyway. You’re only supposed to pitch the idea with a treatment first in both theatre and film. One of the reasons being that, when someone puts a lot of effort into a full script, if it is rejected, it can be very heartbreaking.
As for my scripts in general, don’t even dare try to put them down or I’ll put you down. I’ve been doing scripts for years, mentored by experts in the business and currently helping MA students with their scripts. Also, a few years ago, I was plugged by the man on an American radio show. Can you match that Oddbodd, NO, so f*** off ugly! Hee, hee, hee!

I couldnt agree more Liz!

None of us expected it was going to be used for things like trying to get into women's knickers, have a go at you because your English spelling/grammar is bad, tell you youre not welcome because youre different, and go somewhere else, etc, etc... That's why Diane, and I stopped posting on here. Can we all not just play nicer, but respect each other's opinions, etc.

Well, sorry I dont really know you lot but it was a good laugh this morning reading all this.. he he..
But, I would like to bitch about the number of charity plastic sacks coming through my door every day. Shops are moaning if we dont bring a bag, the council moans if we throw bags out on the street but charity's just pile them through your door every bloody day. Jeez man do we really need all this junk?

Fill a sack with all the others, and give it back to the charity. Seemples.

I very much doubt the people who supply the bags would travel 150 miles just to get a bag of clothes. From what I know, the charities only collect them around the doors they put the bags in.
Good idea Oddbodd. Kind of like the Survey trick and Data Protection.

Thanks for the offer Robert DeNiro's Eyes , but like Phil says, I very much doubt they would travel to South Yorkshire if they dont already give bags out. Funny enough through, we did get one the other day so I may just give them some clothes. Again, thanks for the offer.
Whats the survey/DP thing Phil?
