Be Excellent To Each Other

Can anyone reply to the bargains thread? I can't post in there, just get an error page. Also, I can't see page nine of the thread.

Just me?

There is but a vast expanse of white where page 9 formerly resided*. And of replies, the cupboard is bare.

That really should be 'resode', you all agree? It's just me? Oh.

Oh, I don't get blank page, I get a 'Safari can't open this page because of all this nonsense...' message.

I agree on the resode, as long as the 's' has a soft 'z' sound.

It's *chortle* snowed under with bargains! *guffaw*

I'm using Opera, and it's just blank.

Yes, a soft 'z' sound. The 'r' should be rolled, too.

Oh, Dimmers, with these humorous asides you are really spoiling us!

It all seems fine for me. Maybe your internets are broken.

I can post to it and I can see page 9. Mimi/Davydd, can you retest? It may have been a transient issue.

It's just fixed itself again. I notice TossrStu's post appears twice now though.

It appears only once for me. Maybe your inter -GRRRK *sounds of strangulation*

Oh, yeah, it's back. Hurrah!

Yes, it's only showing that once now too. SHENANIGANS!

If you get it again, try rebooting your in-*shotgun blast*

SHENANIGANS!

SHOTGUNIGANS!

The whacky Irish family?

I don't suppose there were any error numbers on that page, were there? 404? 500?

Set up custom error pages that dump a log somewhere, Grim...

PHP can easily just bork occasionally though, it happens on the odd site of mine, but that's not because anything is fundamentally broken.

Like I don't have an error log, cheeky git

Grim: patronising is when someone talks down to you.

Once you use a colon you need to start the next word with a capital letter.

No you fucking don't; quite the opposite, in fact.

That's a semicolon, genius.

That sentence had nothing to do with my correctness. Simple fact: you're wrong.

No Grim... he's a full colon alright.

See? You're quite able to start ridiculous arguments without me. And Myoptika is right. He has brought the pain.

I'll say it again: I'm right.

(see the exception that proves the rule?)

I agree with Myoptika, I would never use a capital after a colon or semi-colon.

OK then, Mr English Face, explain this seemingly nonsensical idiom.

I don't understand why 'I' is capitalised but 'you' isn't. Weirdness. It's like we've picked up the capitalisation of pronouns for the first-person, but not second-person. Also 'i' would look shit.

Most interesting explanation I've encountered for this:

I can also be read as 'one'. "When making lasagne, I always uses chopped apricots." Read that but with I as 'one'.

If you use a colon after a name then you start with a capital letter. Look it up.

ANYWAY

We used to capitailze all Nouns. Reading old Books which still feature this Method can be really annoying to the modern Eye.

But Grim isn't a name, though. "Grim..." is.

That wasn't what you said at all - stop backtracking.

Admit you're wrong, then move on.

Would? You do look shit.

Yeah. I have, I just keep forgetting.

have I broken the bargains thread? mine seems like the last viable post.

No.

maybe I unbroke it by going back to it, oooo magic.

Can we have these less of these cryptic, loaded, bitter, saddened posts please? You don't see me doing it, so unf! *is bundled into back of waiting car, driven off and never seen again*

Prove used to mean test.

So it's the exception that tests the rule.
