I mentioned the Dambusters in conversation a couple of years ago, they had no idea what I was talking about. I was appalled, flabbergasted! Such holes in their understanding and appreciation of our world and recent history. And yet they may just find a way to add 20 years to my life, but even if they do, no one (apart from you and yours) will ever remember their names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the many ills that social media is responsible for is the spread of bad grammar and spelling. I got so fed up with the stupidity of one guy's argument on a subject that I told him he could continue the debate once he'd learned how to spell a word and put a sentence together so that he might better be able to articulate his incorrect point.

RLWP Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) On, my mistake - the character was Bob Fleming, with his famous coughing routine. He probably needed a dose of penicillin Alexander Fleming invented the telephone* Richard *In his spare time, he wrote James Bond Edited March 30, 2021 by RLWP Panzerwomble, Oldbaldguy and LSP_K2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence taken my friend, and Yes, I WOULD have known who Alexander Fleming was, though I doubt if they would, their knowledge of history is abysmal. I’m seeing them next weekend, I’ll ask the question! quang and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
