My favourite is when someone asks us to "please bare with me" :lol: I know what they meant but... :lol: :lol: :lol: Cricketman brought up a good point about it helping non English speakers. English, as a language, is hard enough to learn without those of us, who should be able to write it correctly, using poor grammar or spelling. Just for the record, one of the most annoying mistakjes (made by many) is to say "I could of". It is "I could HAVE"!!! Hey! Who pinched my soapbox?? :roll:

Yes, we sell computers but do not get the wholesale price offered to the big chain stores :roll:

As requested, here are pics of Pepper in the new Snuggle Hut... from the front from the back

If you are breeding odessas you do not need to do this.

Why do you want to cushion eggs? :-?

I copied your bit from there as it is something I have wondered about when it came to how dyslexics read sentences written that way. I was not implying you were criticising spelling

All very interesting but it did not answer the question I put to the dyslexics :roll: :-? :lol:

When someone types this... Did you konw you’re a guiens? Jsut the fcat taht you can atllacuy raed tihs psot porves taht fcat. The huamn mnid is so pufowerl it can dcodee tihs txet eevn tguohh eervy sglnie wrod is slepled iocenrtclry. The one cavaet is taht the frist and lsat lertets are pervresed in erevy wrod. Cidrgbame Uitesirnvy cetoudncd a sduty and fnuod taht the biarn deos not raed eevry snlige lteetr, but wodrs as a wohle Is it just as hard for you to read as sentences spelt correctly? Those of us who can read and spell with no problems can also read the above, despite the letter jumble, but if you find the letters jumbled at the best of times, is the above better, worse, or just as hard to read? We have a number of dyslexics in the forums, plus others with other reading and writing difficulties so those who find it easy should make allowances for those who don't. We also have those for whom English is not their first language. As long as the intent is clear, there is no need to constantly correct spelling. There is a difference between typos and spelling errors too :roll:

I assume it was up and running on that cabinet? I would be worried about it being on castors with that weight. :-?

We have a Navman. We have had trouble twice now but each time service has been excellent with a 3 day turnaround and total replacement. Friends took their Tomtom to the UK and it went nuts every time they went anywhere near an airport :-?

If you buy a golden then it should be golden all over, no other colours. Some people like that different spots and splashes though.

There is a difference between the most popular and the most liked Most popular would be Java fern as it is so easy to grow. Most liked would be a huge variety! I don't think I can narrow it down as I like most of them for different reasons.

If you are correcting your typos Trav, may I suggest you fix all the errors in your sig as well? The other advantage of buying locally is it is easier to get help if something goes wrong while it is still under warranty.

Southerrrngirrrl I would just clean out as much of the cyano as possible (by hand, net and syphon) then black out the tank (throw a blanket over it) for 3 -4 days. Do not feed the fish during this time either. Then do a water change and syphon out any dead cyano. See if that helps.

You used to be able to buy a toy Thunderbirds island, complete with parting palms and sliding swimming pool. That would look neat if you can find one!! :lol:

It was a lovely night (could have been a bit warmer though), good food and great company. Pepper enjoyed the sunflower and the frogs loved the caterpillars thank you 8) We enjoyed meeting up with club members again and the new member too. Hope we didn't put her off :lol:

Genetics

Hard to tell but looks like an injury to me. If it is raised and fluffy it is a secondary fungal infection. If fish is behaving normally then I would leave it but keep an eye on it and it should get better on its own. Keep water conditions as clean as possible. Swords are platys too

appreciation

About time the sun came out!! 8) See you all this evening! :bounce:

They weren't smileys, they was me, Grant and Pepper showing how excited we were knowing we were attending a BBQ with a beautifully cut lawn Is it still on if it is raining?

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Choice is yours 8) I can assure you we are quite safe and not strange at all I look very much like my avatar so you will recognise me. Plus I will have a fluffy husband and the bird with me :lol: If you do want us to photograph it then PM me your address and a contact number. If we are anywhere near you over the weekend we will text and arrange a time.

We will be in ChCh this weekend and could perhaps drop by to take some photos for you

Only 12 hrs? Grant did 11 on Monday, 16 on Tuesday, 12 hours Wednesday and 9 today. That is only his Downers work. That does not include the 4 - 5 hours work every day after he comes home to do the computer repairs for our own company. It also includes 1,500km of driving. Good thing he only works for Downers part time! :roll: The 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year (yes, he was called out on every single stat day) he did 140 hrs and 4,700km :-?
