    Sorry, the capital T was a grammatical error (or is that syntactic?)

    *head explodes*

    Actually the joke only works verbally, because if you spell everything correctly in writing that would give it away—it wouldn't even be funny. Unless of course you litter it with gramm-tactical errors. Or what I just call typos. :supercheeky:

    I just wanted to let you know that *I* was the one who sarcastically picked the last option on that poll, because that was hilarious. Thanks for the laugh; I needed it today.

    Welcome to the forums!

    I suspect Russian interference in this poll.

    So, you think I'm a wanker. Luckily, I don't give a sh&t what you think, Yank. Ain't but two things ever came out of California anyway, Sunshine; bad movies and bad wine. Actually that's three things. Sorry about the attitude, too - these nipple clamps are really getting on my tits.;):D

    Su'mae Samlet!

    (I'll carry on in English so as not to embarrass myself)
    Hello and welcome, I'm new too, also from Wales (Near Cardiff) and also have MS.

    If your books are as funny as your posts, then I look forward to reading them!

    How devilishly kind of you, @ByElleJayce. Funny old thing, MS, isn't it? And by funny, I obviously mean Funny Pain in The Arse, rather than Funny Ha Ha.

    Actually, I'm thinking of putting a bloke from Caerdydd in my upcoming novella 'Everyone Knows Swansea's Better than Cardiff'. As a Baddie, of course☺️.

    Lovely to meet you, anyway. Are you working on anything yourself?

    Hi all

    I've posted this in the Novels Workshop place but a few of you said you'd read my stuff so if it's OK with you I'll just put a link here - all comment is welcome. It's the opening of a new comedy drama, I think. What do you think?

    Diolch yn fawr, Catrin. A published author with a proper Welsh name has acknowledged my existence, and it's only Tuesday morning!

    I'd be delighted if you could cast a professional eye over some work I'm doing on a comedic novel based in and around Swansea (apologies for the occasional swear word :eek:). The latest version (I hope best) is towards the end of the thread:
