Me too. Sit at the back that is. No touching Ian.

Well then, make a thread and ask. You'll probably be the only one in it.

Is that as in an imperative to me, or a request to others concerning me?
Either way, nooooooooo!!

Really? You'd do that? Awwww Finck!
I know Muschi, Scheisse and Arschloch, so I'd consider myself intermediate! Oh, and ficken.

Obviously the latter. Otherwise there would be a comma missing, wouldn't it?
I could touch you, if you sat in the front row. Alas, you're not.
No touching me Ian, is what I mean. So I suppose Finck's correct about the comma.

You know more than Simon then, who famously failed at babelfishing "Fick" today.

Well I could point to a million examples where a comma is needed but isn't used - in this here fast typing world of the interweb. So confusion can and does occur.

*moves quickly to front row*

Ha! I think the (small) clue is in every letter but one!!
Sonofabitch, I typed a huge post and managed to lose it all in an accidental Firefox tab closure. Maybe I'll have a few beers and try again, this time using a text editor and saving my work frequently.
My mum's grandmother reckoned she was a medium. 
I have a proper nutbag in the family.
(well I hope so. Cos if it's true I might have inherited ghosty genes, and I don't want 'em.)

Was she really fat though?
(Come on - that one won't take an hour but you may just choose to ignore it.)
Ha!
Quote: zooo @ August 27 2008, 11:51 PM BSTHa!
That's more of a reaction than I was expecting.
It's more than it deserved...

Guh! Folks like that annoy the hell out of me. I have a friend like that who spends rediculous amounts of money seeing other nut jobs and con artists looking for gullible people like her to pray on. Her mom's even worse and once told me her dead grandmother had visited her the other night and they played cards together. While everyone else tried to humor with gasps and wows I merely asked her "who won". I've since avoided the house after being called insensitive the father.
I shudder whenever otherwise normal/educated people discuss ghosts, supernatural stuff, superstitions and the like as if they were real.
