I just want a little bit of professionalism out of these fools (whom I pity).

Rant over.

I used to throw the first 10 in the bin without looking at them. Saves hiring unlucky people

Speaking of Kiwis, what about the difference between 'six', 'sucks' and 'sex'?

Crazy concept you have there Stone Cold. Passing up on the best person for the job and hiring someone inferior.

How about the difference between these two -

Unnamed SOURCE - refers to an media entity / person who is unable to confirm / corroborate speculation / rumour due to wanting to remain anonymous

Unnamed SAUCE - A condiment bottle with out a label!

You're forgetting about the TWF factor though

I don't but Stone Cold started that morning at 7am - he doesn't normally start until 9.30! Obviously he was bored at work and so threads like these come about.
Lucky I'm a grammar nazi too though apostophes are my achilles heel!

Hey Stoney, when you get around to it, can you pen an impassioned treatise on the semicolon?
