Maybe they could practice for zelda by making starfox adventures 2. Though I think I would be the only person that to actually buy it.

I just thought of another one I do. I read iOS as "eye oss" instead of "eye oh ess".

I can't even tell if you're joking...

Just bought Mario kart 7 and super mario 3d land again. Stupid the hut where I ordered them from first time said they were both in stock for dispatch within 24h when I ordered them. Got an email saying there'd be a delay on SM3DL of a month(!) so I cancelled that and waited for mario kart. That said expected dispatch of 7/12 for several days after that date but was still 'processing order' then got an email saying they were trying to get it from suppliers, so waited a couple more days, and finally cancelled this morning after another email saying they were working with their suppliers. Meanwhile it still says expected dispatch of 7/12! Got them from work today, and even with my discount they were £5 dearer in total but I couldn't be bothered with ordering them from the internet again. I'll still use them again though as they have some ace offers. Just not when I actually want something in a specific time frame.

"it's dreadfully common" is an (I thought well known) joke phrase that would not cause offence to anyone I know in real life. Usually with an affected accent and usually more poking fun at upper rather than lower class people. I've only ever heard the common people* doing that to nouns. Anyway, wouldn't making words sound more casual generally indicate that you are moving them down the class ranks? As a generalisation more formal, "correct" language is considered more educated and therefore higher class and the more colloquialisms you use and deviations you take from standard English the lower down the class ranks you are. Isn't that pretty much one of the standard ways people use to decide what class someone else is? *yes, I'm joking.

keep your knickers on, nothing wrong with lower class, I never even said what class I consider myself. I personally just hate that group of terms and didn't want it to sound like a blanket insult of a whole load of people. Having something I don't like associated with a particular class does not mean I dislike that class in general. Ozzy is perfectly common in Liverpool. I believe Liverpudlians to be the worst offenders for y-ifying words.

I hate to sound awful but it is a (lower) class thing, not an English thing to put a 'y' at the end of words: present becomes prezzy, hospital become ozzy, television is telly. There are a _lot_ of them.

it's dreadfully common though...

You're also playing into their hands by being part of the statistic that justifies in their minds their DRM measures.

you know that's just tempting fate to make ads more intrusive, right?!

you... don't like potatotes?

Still waiting for Nintendo to bring out their eShop cards so I can get some discounted funds. In the meantime, at least you can save your credit card information now. Can't believe this came out so soon in the EU. Don't like the English name though. Pinball tables work well with the 3D. I like having a download pinball game as I don't think they warrant carrying a card around, but I do love them.

I just noticed I can right click and paste as plain text, cos I can never remember keyboard shortcuts, though the text after the paste seems to be smaller :/ I think computers just try to be too helpful nowadays.

@ TME: yes you are wrong and you are now on Santa's naughty list. "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is a popular secular sixteenth-century English carol " so we've been saying it since before you lot existed.

This absolutely is my last Christmas CD this year!

it's it, not they - it is one thing. From the recipe: " Swedish version of baked potatoes" " crispy on the outside and tender on the inside" It's not crisps, trust me! edit: some pretty weird formatting from the copy/pasting. edit again: I give up on the formatting!

I celebrate people giving me presents.

does that review have any spoilers? I still haven't played Brotherhood yet

It's even less llke crisps, lol

that didn't sound too merry! Anyway, the general phrase is "merry christmas and a happy new year"

uh, that's not a chip! More like a fancy baked potato.

Shouldn't that be whatever happened to just "happy Christmas"? Happy holidays is the non-religious, non-offensive, politically correct phrase that everyone in this country makes fun of Americans about. edit. looks like battra beat me to it - I'm too addicted to come dine with me!

Has anyone ever made these? They look awesome but would like to know if they're worth the extra hassle (excuse the pun!)
