That sounds like an interesting one, Opal Mantra. I have two symbols in black, one on each upper arm.

Have you got any TopMan trousers? Colin’ll have them

Maybe he’s anorexic and needs a 28”

Fucking hell mate - I hope you’ve still got a pair of trousers left

I still rate Principle, they were quite exciting back then…even toured the UK with Emperor

Suprisingly not - though I do have a coffin shaped limited CoF CD somewhere…I’d better get limbering up as it seems I owe Jesus a few off the wrist

Yeah - Principle of Evil and Vempire era

I also had a CoF “stash box” which was a small container on a string you could put round your neck and wear under your clothes - for smuggling spliffs in

I liked the Filth when I was a lad…if I remember rightly I had a tshirt with a woman in a coffin

I wonder what the fine is in Australia for wearing the Cradle Of Filth “Jesus Is a Cunt” shirt…

I’d be interested to know what law you were breaking by wearing it

Personally I would opt my child out of school education and home educate…though the government would probably come and try and take your child ;)

This was a neatly alligned little grammar table when I posted it :(

The thing is - as a native speaker you probably weren’t taught this at school. I didn’t have a clue about any of it before I got a job teaching it as a foreign language (and I have a degree in English and half-trained as an English teacher)! Just have a look around the web for beginner grammar stuff. The BBC language section for example :)

Pluperfect must be French.

The third form of the verb is also known as the past participle or present prefect.

present simple past simple past participle
drive drove driven

Past perfect simple is had + 3rd form of the verb, PP Continuous is had been + verb+ing
Pluperfect - never heard of it. Doesn’t exist.
There are 3 conditionals, the ones above. Had there been more I would have shown you them (nice use of the 3rd just there) :)

Heh heh :)

I think you could safely rule out winning any money…unless the WoMble team had quite a few substitutes :)

The latter:

1st conditional is for possible future events “If I win at pool tomorrow I’ll mock my opponent viciously.” (present simple + will)
2nd conditional is for hypothetical and impossible future events: “If I drank alcohol I would be as pissed as mrs h.” (past simple + would)
3rd conditional is for past hypothetical events: “If I hadn’t wanted to show off my grammar skills, I wouldn’t have bothered typing this reply:” (past perfect + would + present perfect)

€25 please :p

What exactly is that tense, Sam? It’s a sort of weirdy past future conditional thing that I can’t figure out. And what does “pluperfect” mean?

“If it had been a penis, can you imagine the size it would have been when he was born?” would have sounded better, and that’s the 3rd conditional.

Trust you to spoil Gav and Jess’s good news thread with grammar questions :rolleyes:

^ Forgot about him…I have 2 books of his collected Guardian writings

Petridis is a good music reviewer as well

I read their headlines…but mainly get news from alternative news sources.

There’s a new Guardian one…”the most realistic fantasy football game in the World” they reckon:

Off to see Down on Saturday, might shoot some film.

Yeah - it’s the same with 9/11…which is more incredible, the offical story or the conspiracy theory? I know which one I think is more credible.

If it had been a penis, can you imagine the size of his old chap when he was born?!

I said “stuff” far too many times there

Yeah, he has damaged his credibility with the reptilian stuff (though to be fair the theory is way more complex than “the world is run by lizards”)! I still think, no matter how far out that particular theory is, it doesn’t invalidate the stuff he says which does ring true. If you are interested in this kind of stuff then check out Alex Jones - his stuff isn’t quite as wacky as David Icke’s.

I don’t think the idea’s insane, but I guess you knew that :) I don’t mean only a few people, but I think it’s perfectly plausible that a collection of a few hundred people could be pulling the strings (of the Western world at least). Research the Bilderberg Group - a group of the world’s most powerful business and political leaders who meet in secret every year, with absolutely zero mainstream media coverage. They claim not implement policy but I find that very hard to believe…
