Well Pat is sorted out now :-)

Stephen: it could be that the system is "timing you out" - I think it only gives you 15 minutes to type a message. Any longer and it will think you've logged out!

There is a solution to this in the new forum version coming after Easter. I've just started playing with the Beta and it's quite amazing!

Hope that I did not offend you Gareth certainly not intended, just trying to add a bit of humour.

My spelling can be dodgy, pity theres no spell checker on here. I look at the content quality, making judgement on spelling is not an issue for me. I suppose you could do it on MS word and spell check it then copy & paste it here!

Your severely dyslexic....... I'd have never realized that, and you make a huge contribution here.

Just imagine if you had got the "c" and "o" the other way! it could have been "cockie" and what with Sweets comment about "little Gareth" :lol:

My PC spell checks wot I rite on here - it underlines mistakes in red as I type. Don't know how that comes about but it does!

I once asked what was a cookie and why my computer seemed to want to know whether I would accept them from everywhere, or just from sites I navigate, or not at all.

As a little experiment, after being assured by John that nothing would blow up if I did this thing) I tried never accepting cookies. The only difference this made was that I couldn't post on the KC site because I did not seem to be logged in.

I put it back to accept cookies only from the sites to which I navigate. At this setting, everything seems to work and I seem tp be protected from my computer being loaded with biscuits from sites I never visit.

Steven,

No offence taken, but I do know it annoys some people so every now and then when soem one comments I do respond. Try and make it light hearted where possible.

Pat I know my left from my right as long as I am driving :twisted:

Back should be better by Castle Combe, it is still quite sore and I'm full of painkillers at the moment fron Firdays corperate Karting event.

Doctor was far from happy consider ing as he put it 'all the hard work the NHS did on my back 20 years ago!'

:D

I know my left from my right because I wear my watch on my left wrist! When the optimetrist says "look left" she sometimes has to say, "no, the other left". :oops:

As to typos, we all do them. I think it has to do with the speed at which we are tapping our keys. The Gudarian, on the other hand, has no such excuse, and they go to print with their typos intact!

We always have a problem with left and right when driving in France - for some reason we both mean the opposite when giving directions! Dave says - turn left when he means turn right - so we now refer to French left and French right!

Gareth - your latest typo on another post is hilarious! So much so I just HAD to comment! Sorry!
