Well, I DO!!!!!

[Yudster]

.....naturally dark-haired........ and thus more sensible and grounded.

I can hear the geneticists grinding their teeth from here! What a ridiculous statement. Sorry Viv, but there isn't a single shred of evidence anywhere to support that. I wish there was, I'm a natural brunette......

[unclejoesmintballs]

[MK Chris]

Am I the only one getting irritated by this guy's awful spelling?

[Ballbag]

Nope.

[unclejoesmintballs]

i have dislexia and have trouble spelling

[Nicola_Red]

A bit, but if I'm remembering rightly he has apologised for it in some other thread. Dyslexia or something perhaps?

Edited to add: ha, he just beat me with that post, but I thought I'd leave what I put in a "i was right" moment.

i have dislexia and have trouble spelling

As do many people. Most people who genuinely do suffer from it tend to work very hard to overcome it - using spellcheck facilities on PCs for example. As a result, they tend to spell and write relatively well. The vast majority of people who spell badly just spell badly because they never took the trouble to do otherwise. Dyslexia has become an excuse for many people who simply don't have it. I know many genuine sufferers - most of them would never dream of using their dyslexia as an excuse for poor spelling or presentation, because they know it really is no excuse at all.

[unclejoesmintballs]

na its simply the fact im not running round to get a dictionary just for a forum or for that matter using a spell checker

[Yudster]

Bearing in mind the forum posting guidelines, perhaps you should.

[unclejoesmintballs]

yes there are guidelines but i do try to spell my words with some degree of acuracy and willnot partake in a petty argument over spelling

[Yudster]

Good on you. As I am not even one of the people it was annoying, I don't really know why I started on you. Sorry UJMB.

[MK Chris]

i do try to spell my words with some degree of acuracy

Then you're failing abysmally.

[unclejoesmintballs]

ujmb?

Re: Madonna - she is not over-rated. She has constantly re-invented herself! Constantly questions life! Her music is very deep, every album is different, and her voice is SO blooming beautiful.

Sorry but I have to agree with Topher here.

At the moment she is overrated and has been for some years, but that has not always been the case.
All I can see her as now is a woman in her 40s trying to be 20 again, with the help of vo-coders ala Cher Believe on some songs.

ujmb?

She is shortening your name Uncle Joes Mint Balls.

Although personally, I prefer to think that you are called Uncle Joe Smint Balls.

[Ballbag]

ujmb?

I think this proves that it's not dyslexia.

[DemonHorse]

[unclejoesmintballs]

[foot-loose]

Why's that?

A good question Mr Horse.

Why not?

[unclejoesmintballs]

[foot-loose]

[catherine]
