Me personally, I'm scared of Ruu :eek: (it's ALWAYS the quiet ones!) and Beruthial (can cut a man in half at ten paces).... Carry on...

Karl Hungus doesn't mosh. Court order.

And on that note, Karl Hungus doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the world down.

No.

You only use the s' ending when you are doing a possessive plural, e.g. "The employees' payslips".

If if it is a singular plural, but still ends in s, you use 's, e.g. "Karl Hungus's axe".

Though it's not quite so common in Ireland, sometimes a singular plural is pronounced as if it wasn't a plural, e.g. an Englishman might say, "St. James Hospital", instead of "St. James's Hospital". In the former case, "St. James' Hospital" may be acceptable because that's the way the writer pronounces it, even if it is grammatically incorrect.

Also, the apostrophe is only used for possessives. So when you say, "I want to be like the Hunguses", that's the way it's written, not, "Hungus's, Hungus' or Hungus".

Pigheads scared of Seamus's(?) excellence of English. He punctuates perfectly and his alliteration is amazing also. He is perhaps the perfect Moderator.

Although he was even more perfect(perfecter?) when his sig thing read "Lord of the Pings". That was great, culabula is rubbish. Sort it out pal.

Whoever told you that was a spiteful jealous good for nothing fool. Lord of the Pings was brilliant for many reasons.
1/ It rhymed, rhymes are always a great way to start off a day.
2/ It was functional as it let Pighead and other users know that you were not only adept at your job, but in fact fantastic at it.
3/ And this is the clever bit that most people probably missed, it's a reference to the hit movie Lord of the Rings.

Ruu - there's something not quite right with him... Nobody can be that nice. One of these days we'll hear about his garden being dug up by the guards investigating the disappearance of several trolls/spammers!

Terry, Pighead has reason to believe Duggy and Hail 2 Da Chimp are the same person. Hail 2 Da Duggy if you will.

Do what you have to do buddy.

I don't see anything connecting them, but Ruu might find something.
A shovel, perhaps.
