I'm here, and sober. Off to find some wine............. I mentioned you to Lloyd tonight. They're not happy at your disloyalty. :nono: Since when did Lloyd become more than one person? Confused Sussex "They're" doesn't imply a plural |

If it's one person then use He or She, whichever is applicable. It's just bad English to use 'they're' having named the individual. And if it's private then don't fucking post it on a public forum.

And this is the well.
Drink full and descend.

Axs - there's a long, not very amusing, but sustained, theme here between Sussex and Lloyd (whoever he/she is) and me. Chill out and don't try to be the grammar police. |

Get a job. young man. i saw it earlier whilst browsing the excellent xkcd.com, i thought nobody would even read it and where were you today - part-timer. Great game. And we scored - that's the familial 'we'. 2 overweight grown men having an apoplectic fit would have been good to capture on camera! |
