    If you know you are part of the problem why are you here telling us that irish behaviour is bad. I am not part of the problem. I go out get drunk and go home, I don't start fights or do reckless damage.
    If you ask me you are being hypocritical.

    I wouldn't go around criticising the spelling of others if I wasn't able to spell the word myself.

    Rat, what I ment was that u were critisizing me for going on about things and I was trying to explain that just because u've not working for that long I have been for years and I have had a few differant jobs.

    From you:
    or you allegedly worked at something that proves your point
    Thats prob the reason it seem like that to u

    I'm curious about the fact you say your dyslexic, presuming you are i'm sure you have had the problem explained to you. From reading the majority of your posts I presume you are not a severe dyslexic, maybe a minor. You still can't blame bad spelling on it. Dyslexics mainly swap or mix up letters.

    With the exception of the letter g in that sentence above, you used all the other letters outside the mis spelled word.
    Intrigues and intregs are way to different for it to be a letter mix up.

    I realy hope that ur not trying to imply that I am not dyslexic...
    Apart from the fact that I was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of 12 I have been diagnosed by the college with "Compinsated Dyslexia" and have the documentation to prove it.

    Also most of the time I use a thing called a spell checker. I tend to get my spellings mixed up so over the years I have tought myself how to compinsate and get it right I also tend to know what I get wrong so I know when I look at the spelling to check.
    Kind of insulting have to try and prove that I am dyslexic.

    And Tom, dont go on about dyslexia like u know the whole story. Dyslexia impares the brain and the way u absorb information and the way you output information. This includes spelling, speaking and listening. You will find that a large portion of servire dylexics (included is me in there [officialy, not self diagnosed]) have a mild stammering problem, they also tend to mix words when talking and place words instead of others, also can be known to say a sentance that makes absolutly no sense and when asked to repete it the dyslexic repetes what they think is the same but actually makes sense to the person listening. There is much more areas in which a dyslexic but I am not a medical doctor. The one's that I have named are the ones that affect me and so r the ones that I remember the best.

    Would u like anymore of my medical history tom or can we get back to the issue of Irish people drinking?

    I never tried to imply that you were not dyslexic, there is just no point in blaming blatent spelling mistakes on it.
    My cousing Glenn has severe dyslexia and he is unable to read properly because of it. he has no stammer or anything. I have a mild form, and I was diagnosed with it in college. I don't blame spelling mistakes on it, because the majority of them are simple letter mixups and i correct them by rereading my post.
    Now that thats done and dusted with you can return to the argument about drink. Which I think is pointless by the way because it is just people telling other people what they do is wrong. The majority of people on the boards are not the problem.
