The thing that amazes me with this quote is not the poor grammar or the poor punctuation or even that the person asking it is unaware of the existence of the Channel Tunnel, but that anybody capable of making those mistakes/not knowing that can then spell "separated" correctly when so few people can.
    Posted by JT on 18 Mar 2010.
What do you mean? Everyone knows it's spelled "seperated."

News headline: "Something Went Wrong in Plane Crash, Expert Says"

Might be something to do with the remains of the bomb we found in the engine. Just a thought.

The plane failed to fly right in the crash.

Call me wild, but I think they might have gotten the crash procedure correct. It was just the landing that needed some work.

Ah, now THAT makes it stupid. I must have been mistaken with my regular excursions to London when I was 16 - it seemed that every weekend there was some club or another I wanted to go to. I must have been mistaken.

My thoughts exactly!

First tourist: "Tomorrow, we're going to catch a plane and fly to Kerala in southern India."
Second tourist: "India in Asia?"
    Posted by JT on 29 Nov 2009. + (2) - (1) Permalink
No, India in North America. You know, where the Indians live.
    Posted by Necropaxx on 29 Nov 2009.
Or South America. They got Indians there to!
    Posted by Socky on 30 Nov 2009.
No, you're all wrong. He's obviously talking about Red India!

I'm assuming this is probably troll droppings rather than a genuine question, but all the same.
    Posted by JT on 1 Nov 2009.
This is bad troll. I've seen better. Not believable, he elaborated way too much on what language we speak...

"What language do they speak in Italy?"
    Posted by JT on 10 Oct 2009. + (1) - (0) Permalink
Welsh?
    Posted by Wrongfellow on 10 Oct 2009.
Romanian?
    Posted by Socky on 10 Oct 2009.
As it happens, Italian was only declared the official language of Italy last year. Odd, that.
