She should get some award for that piece , she was the sexiest woman I've seen in a film in a long time

Seemingly she never told her parents that she did nude scenes in it and they went mad at the premiere. Wouldn't blame them if I had a daughter that good looking

Jayus whatever you do don't wash a box of cigs in the washing machine, some mess fcuk it

People should be forced to undertake a basic IQ test before they put something up for sale on the like of Donedeal. Anything they describe as "like new" which is in fact painted rust should carry a fine of E100 for every false description. I expect them to be on boards later complaining about time wasters ringing them asking questions.

Anyone who can't spell the name of the machine they are trying to sell (even though its on the machine in big white letters) should also be charged extra for their ads. Jackasses.

Nothing to do with education, it's laziness. How long have people been in the business and spent years looking at the machines day in & day out and still can't get it right.

John Deere = Jon deree / John Deerey /John Dear
Massey Ferguson = MASSIVE ferguson / Massi ferguson / Old grey ferdie was another variation.

Donedeal provide a platform at a cheap rate. They aren't there to educate the masses. I find the ads on agriaffairs much better, not sure if they can only select pre-filtered makes/models/specs etc.

Ya, I know someone like that. Clever guy, but you should see his writing and spelling.

theres a lad in my daughters class, he gets all his spellings right when his mam asks him, when he writes them down they are all wrong. Teacher just asks him orally now and he gets them right.

So do I, I was punished so often (and so hard) over spelling that I'm better than a spell checker now.......maybe it wasn't such a bad thing

I'd agree with Suckler on this. It's lazy and shows a lack of attention to detail. These adds are often by professional traders and would put me off as I would wonder what other corners were cut.

biddy2013 · 02-02-2014 01:34PM

I went to ag college with a lad who couldnt read or write. You could say on 1 side the system failed him that he go to18 years of age without being able to read/write. Ok years ago there was punishment if you didnt know/do your work. Now theres special needs assistants/ learning resource teachers so no child should slip through the loop. I often wonder how that lad got on after.

Have to agree. It puts me off big time when I see it aswell. Can sort of understand an individual but when it's a trade add its looks very unprofessional There a lad selling a " Sheep rays" on dd. must be to protect them from the sun.

I have worked for some very good farmers/business people over the years and when it would come to getting paid i would have to write the cheque myself.

Had a clever lad on a cscs course with me and when it came to the theory part he couldnt do it.

biddy2013 · 02-02-2014 01:44PM

most of the exams in ag college where multiple choice so he had a 1 in 4 chance of getting the questions right

simx · 02-02-2014 02:57PM

Now that's a load paying for itself

Look fair play to mods for giving up their own time but sometimes I feel there is an over eagerness to jump in and delete something or try and make everything neat and inoffensive. Some of the threads just need to be let off the hook a bit more. Just my opinion

Fair point Van,

We don't go around policiing the whole place. We react to reported posts. When a post or a thread gets a couple of reports, then its a sign that it needs to be dealt with. If we delete stuff, people give out, if we doon't delete stuff, people give out. If it goes further and there is a case of bullying, illegal activity, defamation etc and we are found to have done nothing, then we are accountable. So basically, we have to examine everything that is reported and then make a decision on what to do with it. Some threads get out of control. There's often a troll, and it's like throwing fish food into a fish farm - everyone has a bite at the food! We could spend hours deleting everyone's silly posts or sometimes the easiest option is to just take the whoole thread down.

Yer fella from the Jalex herd Fb page summed it up pretty well.

"If there is on thing i have learnt from all these necnominations it is that NO ONE , absolutely No ONE in this country can pour a drink.
Side note, we are a pile of easy lead ejjits, young and old."

I thought it was some class of an anti fox deterrent.

I can see it from both sides, won't go into the whys, but a little more attention to detail, maybe get someone to proof read it, wouldn't go astray.

GrandSoftDay · 02-02-2014 06:34PM

As biddy says I think predictive text on mobiles has a lot to answer for. I regularly have to edit posts here after the phone changed my words around.
