Shouldn't 'kiddo' be 'Kiddo', Chris?

Ah yes, my mistake. Oh well, A- for me! ;)

PS: "shouldn't" should be capitalised because it was the start of your sentence. ;)

Stop using the old style of marking Chris. He gets extra credit for creative use of the English language, and additionally because there is at least 50% of the words spelt correctly then there is extra credit for not failing. All that is missing from an A+ effort is the creation of a new word that can be worked into SMS style text. I would suggest "insignificant" becomes "ns1gnift".

Not really, because it's not a proper noun, therefore capitalisation isn't required. Much in the same way that bloke isn't Bloke (unless the person is called Kiddo or Bloke).

I feel like i'm a better person, however i would prefer a dinosaur stamp in blue.
Thanks,

As stated in #eseries, I don't handle the nut sacks personally, I co-ordinate all nut sack handling requirements. Occassionally I do find it somewhat fun to handle the odd sack myself, just to prove I can handle a sack of nuts like the best of them.

I think you'll find people are hesitant to post up cruise footage because of the potential litigation issues that can pop up. I mean look what happened to Willie Nelson on his last cruise?

You might be better luck on a Vic cruise for footage maybe?

Have you searched through the various threads in the Meets section of the forum?

Or PM EFFalcon, he has lots of random stuff on e-series.

Maybe you should print this thread out, then use it as an example that using correct (or incorrect) grammar and spelling makes a lot of difference to how people perceive or respond to you.

So what do they teach at school today if grammar and spelling are not important? So sad.

Correct. And everyone else doesn't care for people who are too lazy to use correct grammar and spelling.
