The bomb shelter thread.

[woodsyni]

@woodsyni I have just realised in a moment of amazing clarity that your user name is Woodsy NI and not, as I have been saying it in my head, Wood Sigh Knee!

Like an escapologist? The Amazing Woodsyni ?

i remember when i was 34 and you was 24...that's how long we been chatting, c-man x

Is it really mate time flies x

not arsed.

but constantly following someone around being all snidey and juvenile without daring to engage directly...in the bomb-shelter of all places...is just a pointlessly-poisonous presence.

indeed...a bad smell.


gonna come down hard on that little man from now on.

I'm not trying to be snidey here - but there's probably a setting somewhere on your phone (if that's what you're using) to capitalise the first line of a sentence for you.

Just like there's a setting somewhere in mine that I haven't found yet, that stops it replacing perfectly good words with the wrong word, while leaving absurd mis-types untouched and ready for press.

I'm glad you mentioned this.... I had always read it as Woodsinki, assuming they were from Helsinki or the like. No idea how my eyes/brain saw a k in there. Must learn to read more betterer.

Reading your personal style of formatting is rotting my eyes!

That's what happens when people apply their own personal style to language. Good communication falls apart. Then there's conflict, then war. WW3 could start over a missing apostrophe.

or a capital letter! i do capitals when writing serious stuff.


let's enjoy our differences....i'm concerned autocorrect/format is homogenising writing styles, leaving less room for individual idiosyncraticity.

variety is the spice of life and all that.
