Big_Stu Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 [quote name='EdwardHimself' timestamp='1319033037' post='1409122'] Very funny. Yeah except CBBC ends before then because all the kids will be at school by 9:00. Genius. [/quote] I'll have to take your well-informed word for that, is that when CBeebies starts?

Dave Vader Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 [quote name='EdwardHimself' timestamp='1319047616' post='1409349'] I didn't actually call you any name whatsoever. I said you were making a condescending comment, in the same way that a smug little prick would. So I apologise if offence was caused [/quote] Ta, none taken.

'Spelled' is more common in the USA, 'spelt' is English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got things like excercise and excersize, licence and license etc... It's amazing we can understand them at all really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 [quote name='EdwardHimself' timestamp='1319105755' post='1409882'] excercise and excersize,[/quote] Those are both wrong. [quote name='EdwardHimself' timestamp='1319105755' post='1409882']licence and license [/quote] And those are two different words - one is a noun, the other a verb. Examples you could've used: Defence, Offence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Examples you could've used: Defence, Offence. [/quote] In american they use it as a noun. And trust me, I've spent enough time applying for a "license" for the world's worst piece of computer software to know which one they use.

Nyl Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 ah, the wonderful world of software licensing or should that be licencing back on topic, those bass string bracelets and jewelry are pretty nifty, clever use. i want to see someone weave a belt out of E strings, ooooooo a string vest! do it do it do it!

[/quote] It'd be like chain mail, probably quite handy for some of the dives I've played in! Found another use for strings today - cleaning out a blocked nozzle on a Henry Hoover. Gets to places where scissors and rulers can't reach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyl Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 good thinking Lemmy, i guess you could also use them for cleaning drains/plug holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 [indent=1]I use them to whip students who can't spell properly.

Back on topic, i stick mine in my gig bag for the rest of eternity (till i break a string really) or when i change strings again. Edited for better punctuation so i don't get whipped.
