A lot of that kind of thing happens down my way.... Drivers just I don't know sometimes, or they decide for no reason to stop when the light turns green and then take off.

This is, without a doubt, the greatest SNL commercial ever:
Sam Waterston is clearly about to crack up.
"And when they grab you with those metal claws, you can't break free. Because they're made of metal. And robots are strong."

Nope, it is either
Gilda, "That's some Great Bass!"

I came here trying to connect with an old friend and ended up making a lot of new ones. I want to thank all of you - smartasses, computer graphics geniuses, intelligent debaters, and complete lunatics - for making my life a lot more bearable lately. You are all Glorious Geeks! 
Here in this space, I can only humbly claim to be 2 out of the 4 above, totally minus #2 o/c.
If you/or anyone is looking for intelligent debate w/ me, you will have to find me on an American Civil War site.
I fully embrace being termed a "geek".

Glad to hear that things are looking good. Best wishes to her for a speedy recovery!
speedy in that case means about six weeks
okay, that one is new. I have heard wors-ter-shire (where the o is the same sound as in Thor) and wor-chest-er-shire (same o as before) but never heard a version with the r unspoken.

leicester is lester and gloucester is gloster (like our dear moderator's competition)

I'm sort of doing that by asking here on TrekBBS. Thanks for the link, that helps.
But on this side of the Pond, I'm probably still gonna have to include the 'shire' part. Nuance is not something that happens that much over here.
you also have a tendency to revamp words - after all what you did to poor liberal you could at least spell it lib'rul
you certainly do
(Or do I even want to know??)

Well I personally don't drop that middle syllable but I get your point. Though I do find it a bit, well cheeky, given you just sent me to site that advocates dropping the 'shire' off a word....you also have a tendency to revamp words - after all what you did to poor liberal you could at least spell it lib'rul
Ahh... got it now. Despite my username as evidence to the contrary, I'm not really an "airplane person"...
