I'm now a bit less positive than I was to Huffington Post given its use of "less" when it would be better (ie, correct) to have used "fewer".

I thought that I would insert a GIF here, so stupidly I searched analGIF.  Might have to delete my search history.

Yes, I was wondering how long it would take. I thought I had a cute accent, but I couldn't be bothered.

Ok grammar nazi nazi, just seeing you seemed to have missed it the first time, it was actually a spelling mistake rather than a grammar mistake, but hey, you know, keep going buddy, post after post complaining about pettiness is pretty ironic.

 

Too funny.

Actually, it was a grammar mistake and not a spelling mistake. He spelt the word correctly, but used the incorrect word. 'Then' relates to time, whereas 'than' is used in a comparative situation.

There are so many anal retentive's here, myself included. I cringe when I see bad grammar then I go and do it myself. We are in such a hurry to get our thoughts out there that sometimes we make mistakes. It is important to laugh, especially when we stuff up whilst correcting others. Guilty as charged your worship!

Run a virus detector through your device too ManDee. You'll be getting pop ups that would make a sailor blush!

Cute accents and Caro. Not subjects usually found together in the one thread.

I reckon Ken Hinkley might well be up for grabs at the end of the year, i can easily see Richmond, Collingwood, Port and Brisbane all sacking their coaches before the year is out.

All I can say ManDee is that if you are into ornithology (bird watching), do not do a google image search for 'swallow'.

I recall having to explain a charge on my credit card from, "The Golden Swallow". I swear it was a Chinese restaurant.

The guy in front of me ordered a 72.

There was no 72 on the menu, so he explained it was a 69 with 3 fingers up.........   Can we say that here?

PS:- True story. At a Chinese restaurant in Bridge Rd. I think it was after a Melbourne V Richmond match in the late 70's- Was that you?

Footy Classified tonight.  Caro is trying to defend her stance that Clarko will be coaching Collingwood next year.  The other panelists challenged her on whether she has any actual sources on that stance.  Well, no, but the facts are that Clako is unsigned and Buckley's position has never been shakier and while Hawthorn refuse to announce a new contract for Clarko they are contributing to this sort of speculation.  That right there is quality journalism.  She takes one fact, some completely unrelated speculation and makes up a story to bignote herself. 

She makes a lot of stuff up about footy clubs that she hates (everyone except Richmond).

I don't think she makes "stuff up". What she's good at is turning "stuff ups" of others into stories which don't always warrant the coverage that they're given.

I can see you are trying to steer the thread ship here Pete, so I will add why would Clarkson, who probably doesn't need lots of it, go to a Maguire madhouse with him

looking over your shoulder all the time, and the crew out of Z nation behind him.

I don't think Clarkson will leave Hawthorn, why would you? they are a huge chance to make it four flags in a row and no signs of slowing down just yet.

I do think the pies will look at someone with that Hawthorn style though, maybe that puts someone like Brett Ratten or Cam Bruce in the frame.

I can't see Clarkson leaving Hawthorn.

And rumour mongering is two words by the way.
