    Grammar and punctuation standards have improved over the decade

    One has only to see the difference between the oldies and the young whippersnappers on this forum to know what a pile of tulipe this is.

    I am not qualified to give the above advice!

    The original point and click interface by

      It's true I tell you. A-level students have become 50% cleverer since 1997. How can you argue otherwise? These are official government figures and well within the confines of evolutionary theory. Under New Labour school leavers have evolved in a new species, homo superior. You can see it just by looking at one of this year's A-level students...



      By the end of New Labour's current term of office, school leavers will have dispensed with the need for physical form altogether and will have evolved into beings of pure energy.

        Agree DS, but your conclusion is wrong. It should read...

        By the end of New Labour's current term of office, school leavers will have dispensed with the need for physical form altogether and will have evolved into beings of pure lethargy.

        You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

          Careful, Bogey, you're so sharp today I fear you might cut yourself.

                We must strike at the lies that have spread like disease through our minds

                  Spell checkers and Grammar checkers must skew the results.
