I born and bred in Bristol actually, so you're probably northern to me too. :P

You're not from Bristol, you can write and use a computer! I call Shennanigans!

I've trained my sheep dog to type. *whistles*

So what you're implying Seb, is that most Northerners are illiterate slobs?

Please don't project your own failings onto an entire region. ;)

As for Leevil and Nil, yes, us Southerners consider Middle Earthers as Northern. I searched through the Internet and have found a surefire way to determine whether or not you're a wife beating whippet eater - if you use the word 'That' in front of the word 'London', then you are indeed a lard scoffing, car thieving, child shooting, benefit fraud in a track suit.

'My mother-in-law is so Pakistani. etc.'

:D Regional racism is one of the greatest forms of comedy ever

I wasn't implying that all northerners were lapsed typers it was simply that whenever my typos were pointed out they were done in a distinctly smarmy southern manner, as if they were showing off that they could spell the word correctly.

But surely that means you're just assuming all the people who told you off were southern?

This is more about you than southerners, I feel....

*strokes chin thoughtfully*

By the way, it's typos not typoes.

:D

No they were southern. I could sense their organic-bageutte chomping smarmyness.

Is demographobia a word?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty certain I've called you on your shitty spelling before now, and as far as I'm concerned Manchester is the Midlands.

Manchester's as northern as chips and gravy!

Oh, I see what you were doing there...

Ah, I think we've come to the root of the problem. It's not that Seb minds being reprimanded for his crap spelling, he just doesn't like the way the corrections are delivered.

So in future, perhaps the Mods can say something like 'Ey up chucky egg, tha spelling like a ruddy t'barmpot, you daft hayper, our kid in gravy.'

Either that or offer him out for a scrap.

You are correct.

You're all northerners as far as I'm concerned.

RACIST!

a lot of my comments are dwelled upon for the spelling inaccuracy rather than their insightful brilliance, and this neuroticism seems like quite a southern trait (a fairly endearing one).

So northerners have inflated, bloated ideas of their own self-importance, and all of the clever people are in the south?

Look out up north, Aaron's spoiling for an argument.

Laughing out loud
