Now seriously i swear that in 20 years of writing and reading i had never noticed that when typing i should use spaces after fullstops and commas. After thorough investigation i found out that this is the correct typing for all languages and that unfortunately Pixiesteve was right. I must have skipped that particular lesson at school i guess. Anyway thanks Adnan, Floop and Apl for the support. Afterconsideringnotusingsfullstopsandcommasatall or limit my posts in single phrase slogans i decided to make Pixiesteve happy and try typing in a more conventional way.

Shoot. I figure enough of us ignore crappy grammar and awful spelling to allow mun chien a little room to breathe. There are plenty of *native* English speakers on this forum that take some crazy liberties with the written word.
Please ignore me too if this is all just a bunch of funnin' and you don't really mean to be pickin' at nits. I mean, it's not like he's typing in ALL CAPS or anything....

The price rise was 1.9p/litre. This equates to 31p a week and a grand total of £16.12 extra for the year. I’m thinking of writing to the paper and suggesting that the family buys one less bag of crisps a week to help pay for this outrageous fuel increase.

i don't agree,no spaces and no capital letters is sooooo "greek geek".i love that nick,reminds me of a greek guy i met in lapony.he told me he came there because his favourite movie was "the lovers of the polar circle" or something like that.a spanish film.he was with a dutch girl(not his girlfriend i think),renting the same chalet as me and my two buddies.of course,he had a video tape of the above quoted film.of course we watched it.while watching this film,the guy was shooting it with his camera (the film on the telly).he asked us about paris,and i told him that the parisian girls were a bunch of bitches who wanted to fuck me because my daddy is rich.he asked us if he could interview us with his camera,we agreed and pulled our t-shirts over our faces,saying that we were pretty famous in france and didn't want to be recognized.i never laughed as much as that evening.

I wish people would complain about real injustices rather than trivialities like this.

Perhaps he will sell me a swastika with French Fanatic written on it. Or "ff", using the same letters as SS. He has the know how...

Yeah, I am attempting to give up...doing quite well at giving up buying them...but I usually smoke ollies any how. much better.
Beer increase is disgusting.
And they are giving old people an extra £100!!! and they are *still* moaning!!!
They need to work out council tax to coincide with how much you earn. the way it works now is ridiculous.

i think the 1p a pint increase in beer is going to hit me the most.
ouch!
home in NZ, a pack of ciggies is NZ$5-6, which is about £2...
i honestly don't see how the english can afford to smoke...
if only it actually put people off instead of just making the government millions....
