    It is very rare that I agree with you Gordon, however on this occasion I think you are wrong as well..<whistle>

    40% for me and I was probably lucky to get that. I've got a good vocabulary but when it comes to adverbs, prepositions, whatever...I know very little and that's fine by me as I don't need to.

    I'm pretty sure we weren't taught any of this **** at school. All I remember is that a verb is a 'doing' word.

    20% for me. Went in with total bravado as I thought my English was quite good. Feel a bit silly now.

    English is important, if you talk like a complete div you'll end up with the fat mate.

    You'll be lucky to get the fat mate if your banter involves discussing the correct usage of determiners and past progressives.

    Well yeah that part doesn't matter, very few girls like a spelling dork... that's why Gordon's still a virgin, but in my experience, talking a girl into going home with you is far easier than tying her up and putting her in your boot.

    dunno he must have been a huge advocate - because he quoted allegedly 'What I like about a 'tug' ...I don't have to talk to anyone afterwards'
