Your leg, it is mine.

Am I missing something here? It's a body part. How can anyone claim they own a part of someone else? WTF! 

"He wants his leg back but Mr Whisnant says he has a receipt for the smoker's contents and wants to share ownership."

Seriously, if the other guy wins the legal battle, I hope he gets his hand chopped off and has it sold to a travelling freakshow.

I checked with my other male flatmate and they are not his, so I definitely know to whom they belong. Still don't want to talk to the slimy git, though.

You have to. And possibly do it wearing a surgical mask.

I was mocked at work today for using 'whom'. :;-(

*hugs you* It's like school all over again... Rem could tell you some stories of conscientiousness unappreciated.

That can't possibly be how you spell "conscientiousness", can it? And yet, the spell-checker isn't getting its panties in a bunch for a change.

Anyway, the leg: that Whisnant guy is such an asshole. (He'll probably sue for that, too.) How sick do you have to be to do that to a guy who's already lost (almost) everything?

Also, if this burner thing is used for barbecuing, I'm guessing nobody will ever want to eat anything cooked in it again.

Seriously, why are people so proud to be ignorant these days? Culture of Stupid, indeed.

I just don't understand how he can even *contemplate* such an idea. Cheeky bugger!

We have a local radio presenter (national, too, since he does a 5 Live slot) who pounces on anyone who speaks with a "polite" (that's Norn Iron for "educated-sounding" or "posh") accent. Makes me not want to phone his show about certain subjects, since I know the reaction I'd get.

I know speaking a certain way doesn't guarantee education, intelligence or common sense (nor do I have problems with people whose accents are different from mine). But hating on people for speaking like that seems to me to be part of the same thing: an assumption that if you're verbally precise, use grammar and/or have a good vocabulary, then you're lording it above everyone else.
