SWMBO gets my vote with “Stupid Twat”…. the roads are full if them. Anyway of automating this sounding off – pressing a button every few seconds to hear the recorded “stupid twat” would save vocal energy….. and for the record, I just shout “twat” as I’m driving along…..

Bart, I think you may have wandered off topic a little.

Using Disney pictures on Facebook to date dwarf(ve)s in a coffee shop?

Present perfect continuous

The general form is has/have + been + present participle

have you been rogering my secretary?

have you been wanting to roger my secretary?

I have been rogering my own secretary, so bugger off

see? … perfect …

I stand corrected, at least when it comes to the spelling employed by Disney. However, I have a preference for the Tolkien version.

Before Facebook there was something called Facepic. Saw this girl who happened to run a coffee shop. First thought was “she looks cute”, closely followed by “Mmmm, free coffee”. The rest, as they say, is history. Never got a free coffee though.

It sounds to me that you were probably a sound English buddy before you sounded off, and I’m very sorry to be picky (again), but the correct spelling of the plural of dwarf is dwarfs, not D.W.A.R.V.E.S., even without the capitals and the full stops.
Just for the record, is SWMBO familiar with the history of your modus operandi for targeting potential dates, or is that how you two first came across eachother, so to speak?
