Joan Sorry about the p & it's Brian not Brain LOL BRIAN

Tell me about it...as they say....I work with someone who 'borrows' money to a friend....many more who don't know the difference between 'their' and 'there' - 'here' and 'hear' ...and I could go on.....and what about 'estuary English'....if we aere able to 'fast forward' 20 years would we think we were in a foreign land....they say that language evolves...to me it is 'evolving' far too quickly

Soz Brian I blame Dave's Shiraz ! J x

(I wasn't going to comment on the brain hehehe) It does not contravene the Data Protection Act and in fact there are a number of initiatives currently going on line that do just that - send messages via SMS. In fact there are now moves afoot to do things like inform immigrants when their work visas etc are runing out via SMS. E-voting is also being trialled in a number of areas (about eight I think) which uses the same technology.

Joan, was tempted to reply L O L but on this thread would not dare but would like to say your response did cause me to occasion rather raucous laughter prompt and with that (before I fall off my chair) will exit stage left ! Dave

Joan , she said that there was a programme to do it--she can keep it I`m not doing it , Ros

Dave, don't exit left just yet. Wot response ? I am quite serious about the written and spoken word and do correct my children or raise the odd eyebrow when they slip into colloquialisms. Only yesterday after proof reading my daughter's college work (she is working in a school teacher training) and suggesting amendments, her college tutor commented that seeing as the work had already been proof read by the school that she could not have the extra opportunity needed to resubmit ! Ah Ah Ah I thought. So I'm not fick after all, Joan x

Joan, Your humour and the Shiraz are making for an enjoyable time posting on the boards tonight................Thank you...........sleep well x

Night Night Brian, Dave and All. I have had a super duper time and now will retire to the armchair by the phone to await my beloved's call................only until the hour of midnight mind, cos I'm working tomoz. Joan. BTW have you ever sent a text message to a land line phone ? If you end the message x x x the female voice reads it as ex ex ex Night, sleep tight

...and the exexex (say it aloud) is quite disconcerting!!!!! maggie

But Maggie it's in posh Queen's English !! So it's alright. Joan
