Looking forward to seeing you, if you can find one, bring a friend.

If you do turn up try to be original with your comebacks, don't just repeat what the other person says, that is infantile.

that wasnt a comeback i just assumed you meet for more than drinks with how close some of you seem on here...if you was saying im gay in order to justifie a comeback well thats infantile...don't you think?

Gay is not an offensive thing to be called. SO I would take it more as a statement than an offense

Not grammar but spelling & the correct word for the situation, basic schoolboy error young Christopher ! Except (not including, other than), so by using except as opposed to the more correct accept (concent to receive) you have nullified your intended comment & changed its intent.
If you intend to bait people please do try harder.

Or better still, young(?) Christopher, stop trying altogether, you're not very good at it.

Second post you've used the same words as I as a retort.
You just aren't up to thinking original are you?
As for gay, I didn't intend it as offensive, but if you can't understand why I used it in reply to your misuse of 'rustle' instead of the correct 'ruffle', I won't bother explaining the humour, I'll bet your English teacher gave up on you as well, if you actually bothered going to school that is.
Look forward to meeting you in the very near future.
I'm sure that in person you can't actually be as stupid as you are on here.

Why is Garinda coming down? Or going up (if he's travelling from down south)! Seriously I don't think i'll be able to make it this time.

Jay, I have a vast swathe of correctional implements readily available, but the big pointy stick of concise vocabulary is my favourite.

concise -
Adjective:Giving a lot of information clearly and in a few words; brief but comprehensive.
I think you mean verbose
"Definition of VERBOSE : containing more words than necessary"

I disagree, in reference to AC's post I gave him the correct word for the comment he was making "accept" & not "except" by the false usage the intent was flawed, hence the "big pointy stick of concise vocabulary" observation.
As to your utterance of verbose, again I'd tend to challenge your remark. A wide & varied word stock is far more desirable than a limited & repetitive Lexis. I consider it educational & informative if it means folk will look up & possibly learn a new turn of phrase rather than an old & tired form. Having the wherewithal & audaciousness to use it is another matter.
I understand it may be beyond some folk, but therein lies the joys of a Dictionary/Thesaurus be it in book form or on-line, the written word for every man.
