Where's Willy?
Sun, 27 Mar 2005, 07:42 pmThough he recieves criticisms for his argumentative behaviour and severe case of seemingly endless know-it-all-ism, I've noticed a severe boringness to the posts recently without Mr CrgWllms.
I ve just been reading some of his witty repartee and have quite enjoyed his 'arguing for the sake of arguing' attitude. Its hilarious!
Some people get really sensitive to his criticisms which most of the time are extremely insightful and make a very good point, often forcing some to rethink their previous opinion. He is to the point and knows where to draw the line.
But where has he been? Have I just missed his posts? Has he finally had something said to him that has made him run away in shame with his metaphorical tail tucked between his legs?
Come back Craigo, we miss you

How is my spelling?

Thanks Nimrod.
How's it all going for you?
I've been away from the computer for the last three weeks, only got back last night.
This was the job I told Serge I would be doing...when he suggested I might not be up to his professional film standards and may therefore end up wasting my time sitting on the beach.
Not only was I being paid to like to sit on a beach, but I was also required to go kayaking, mountain biking, abseiling, paint pictures, play volleyball, go shopping, pat possums, look at the stars, build rafts, throw boomerangs, and play hide and seek. And a fair bit of eating and drinking. And the optional sun-tanning, which I tried to avoid, nocturnal animal that I am, although I have returned significantly browner.
No room in all of this to take a laptop, as much of it was underwater at the beach, or in the bush on the Bibbulmen track.
Rest assured I was being as argumentative and know-it-all as I could be to the 70-odd students I was responsible for over those weeks, and hopefully even more entertaining.
Rather tired tonight, but I have a bit over a week before starting full time work again, so I'll probably be back here again at my usual pace.
Cheers
Craig

Only one tricky one..."recieves". Apparently the rule is 'i before e except after c', but I think that rule doesn't carry a lot of wEIght, because there are a lot of wEIrd exceptions (at least EIght of them), so I'll excuse you for this small slEIght.

This is true, I did say this, thanks for noticing my statement and sub sequently quoting it
> How's it all going for you?
Im fine, Im keeping myself busy and have even managed to get my decidedly untalented and reasonably unmotivated behind into some full time acting work...so all in all not too bad

It must be hard for an individual such as yourself to really enjoy such hard work. I could have never had done it. I dont know what I would do had I been forced or 'paid' as you say it to do such things like lounge around the beach and patting possums ( I did think of something dirty to say just then but for the good of humanity I disregarded it).
Receives is a hard one, it looks like it should be spelt recieves, but it isnt. Thanks for bringing up this valuable point and I would have ignorantly continued to spell this word incorrect had it not been for your keen eyes. This would have later led to much embarrisment on my part.
Ah well, how splendid a thing it is that you ahve returned, I look forward to getting home from work late at night, drinking a coldy and having a chuckle at your witty yet informative banter. On behalf of The ITA forums Welcome Back old man!

My dear Nimrod,
Had you not drawn such attention to this I would have been happy to ignore the ones I found, but seeing as you asked...there are 6, if I don't count the typo Mick's already pointed out for the word 'have'.
'subsequently' is one word.
'I'm' (used twice) has an apostrophe.
so has 'isn't'
You have used 'incorrect' incorrectly. The correct use of the word is 'incorrectly'.
And it's embarrassing when you spell 'embarrassment' embarrassingly.
Don't feel bad about it, mate...after all you got about 200 words right, which shows a remarkable improvement, don't you think?
Cheers
Craig

Re: Your a Willy
Come now young Nim, put all this kerfuffle behind you for you and I must once more 'pon the 'blessed boards' alight, to tell Will's tale of what occurred upon that hallowed night that we, proud yeoman, call the 'Twelfth'.
So gird ye up a spalpeen's dob and pray Saint Swithin will our tongues and hearts festoon with laughter, love and light.

Yes, don't know why that sometimes happens...my computer tells me it didn't post because I wasn't logged in (which it seems I was), and then when I go through the process again I've unfortunately posted twice.
Flood (1990) - possibly They Might Be Giants' most successful album, and a personal favourite. I saw them in 1992, bought this album, and now my iTunes tells me I have 315 songs by TMBG.
