  1. Incredible describes something you can't believe because it's so right, like an incredible double rainbow. Incredulous describes how you feel when you can't believe something because it's so wrong, like when someone tells you leprechauns left two pots of gold.

    If you pay attention to advertising, we live in an incredible world: Your local team had an incredible comeback. The latest movie is an incredible adventure. Wash your hair with this new shampoo and get incredible shine. It's enough to make you incredulous, or skeptical.

    Your apology is accepted
     
  2. You will never understand :(
     
  3. Humour...
     
  4. It's best to make sure you have a good command of English when criticising mine, Elsie - typos notwithstanding, I could run rings round you.

    Two language degrees, one of them a masters, 30 years working as a journalist and several books published ...

    Presumably you've never heard the expression have a tumble (meaning sexual contact of some description). In which case I suggest you read some books - they are the things below the porn magazines in WH Smiths.

  5. Oh deliberate misuse of the word was it now? Funny!
     
  6. Not really wanting to defend Elise - he is, after all, the enemy of all right thinking people - but I saw his ironic use of the wrong word for what it was, straight away and irregardless.

  7. There is a small matter of taste to consider ...

  8. I knew it, you didn't answer before when I mentioned the Sunday Sport, you little tinker ;) A little more respect will befall you now for sure. (sorry for the Americanism used within your beautiful language)
    With humour you would surly be a decent adversary :p

  9. Don't believe it was deliberate. Still didn't work anyway. How is my use of English sceptical? Wrong adjective.

  13. You have obviously never heard the word tumble used as a metaphor for a sexual encounter: you should try reading a book – you'll find them below the porn mags in WH Smith I believe

  14. sorry i meant that youd be hard pressed to find a decent red over 13% (for a fiver):D
     
  15. what on earth can you be thinking using a construction like that?
    within/wɪðˈɪn/
    preposition
    1. inside (something).
    2. not further off than (used with distances).
    3. occurring inside (a particular period of time).
    adverb
    1. inside; indoors.
    Don't call my lexicon into question. You'll never win! Fact!

  17. Tesco special offers are good. Yellow Tail Shiraz £5.49. Hardy's Crest works out at amazing £4.84 when you buy three bottles. Both a couple of quid, at least, more when not on special offer. Not bad when a pint of 4.8% ale is £3.75 in pubs.

  19. No, I don't have two Lexus(es!) As I no longer have to ferry kids around, I have taken the decision to dispense with personal four-wheeled transport all together and just hire the sort of cars I couldn't afford to run when the need arises. Taking everything into account it's cheaper.

  20. both of those are 13% and shite... im no connoisseur by any stretch but youd be better spending a few quid more and getting a trivitino melbec or even the french one leduc? i think. wolf-bass is no bad... but oyster bay merlot is great for about8 quid
