    Spotted two. Another might be the need for a comma after six in the first sentence, as it could read he moved on his sixth birthday which was on New Year's Day. Not that it really matters. Though commas, or their omission, can totally alter the meaning of sentences.

    I still live as a child.

    I tried growing up once, but found it overrated.

    The only time I've ever been in the ring was when I played rugby for shire horse, tony banham was our coach, he arranged a session in St. Paul's, at the end of the training session he paired us up and got us in the ring, 3x3min rounds, I was very fit in those days but after 2 mins I couldn't breath, he put me in with an ex amateur boxer a kid called tommo, I didn't lay a ****ing glove on him. Next day I couldn't get out of bed, was still ****ed.

    Only Julian went to ampleforth on a full scholarship so any child that was as gifted as him had the same opportunity, that is as long as they were catholic. The discussion about wether he should be made to resign decided that anyone in his place would not have deprived their child a scholarship and had sort advice before sending him. His brothers went to Marist because they were school friends of my brothers and they definitely didn't go to Ampleforth. As it was a boys school at the time there was no way the sister could have.

    Two of his kids went to Ampleforth. Laughable hypocrisy yet again from those on the left. They spend decades denouncing people who sent their kids to schools like Ampleforth but don't hesitate to use them for their own kids. If the likes of McNamara had got their way there wouldn't have been an Ampleforth to go to. Even more hilarious that they don't like others kids getting the chance of an education through passing an exam but getbtheir own kids in at schools miles away where they have to pass an exam to get accepted or just pay, something they criticise others for as well.

    Tigger is a prime example of why people shouldn't try too hard to look for grammatical errors on a football forum, or anywhere else really.

    I often think this when seeing one poster pull up another for a spelling mistake, or an 'improper sentence', Why? Don't you understand what he just wrote? Doesn't that make you the dunce?

    No, not really. And, there are plenty on here who can't understand a properly constructed sentence.<laugh>Although anyone, including myself, who picks others up is fair game. If you notice you don't get pulled up on any errors.Mentioning you write books on the subject and then committing a couple of errors is leaving yourself open. Tigers took it in the vein it was intended.
    A bit like those on quiz programmes who mention they have a degree in something and then get a question wrong when that subject comes up. I enjoyed one where the question was "In which modern day country was Troy situated, Greece, Italy, Sudan or Turkey?". Contestant, "I have a degree in history so I know it definitely wasn't Turkey...".

    I meant to add it in there somewhere, that the grammar/spelling thing is very tedious and often puts an end to an interesting debate before it had a chance.

    Oh and the reason I don't get pulled up, Is because I'm very popular :bandit:
