Banned for sending undercover agents to the place of prayer to covertly stash counterfeit cash in its coffers before ringing the cops with a tip as to where to find it, then naming the padre as the one who put it there.

My first PC build was a Pentium 1 and the second was a Pentium II. That was in the early 2000s. From there I went to an AMD Phenom 1 and later a Phenom II. My next upgrade was to an AMD FX 5150 and then an FX 8150 before going back to Intel with an i7 4750. I stuck with AMD because they were cheaper than the Intel counterparts back then, and not being flush with money back in those days it worked out to be more economical. These days, though, Amd's Ryzen

[quote who="kona0197" reply="4" id="3798834"] Double fail for choosing Intel when everyone knows Ryzen is better. Cheaper as well. [/quote] I have 3 Ryzen machines [one a Threadripper 2920X] and 2 Intel Core i7s. While I like the Ryzen machines a lot I must say that the 10th Gen i7 is also really good as well. The 4th Gen i7 4770 is a bit old these days but still runs like a dream. At the end of the day, I suppose it's up to the individual and what su

Banned for watching/listening to The Three Stooges and really getting both the spoken and written word messed up with Curly's nyuck, nyuck, nyuck. The thing about language is that it is ever evolving, often changing the rules to make a new word fit.

Banned for thinking lazy foreigners bastardised the English language.... yeah the origins may have come from various places but it was the scholars at Oxford and Cambridge universities who collated and purified the English language as we now know it. Truth is, the English language has been bastardised by the use of various dialects within the UK, so Americans are not the only ones the make alterations over the years.

Banned for using a bastardised version of the English language and ridiculing an actual Englishman who is a walking dictionary of poor English. I will have you know that English was my best subject at school and even Jafo doesn't have a patch on me when it comes to its correct usage. Also, it's zed, not zee.... and honour, valour and demeanour all have U's in the correct spelling. Like I said, the Yanks bastardised the English language as part of a push to become independe

I think why some people go stir crazy in lockdown is because they're thinking of what they could be doing out there in the big world outside, rather than what they can be doing at home. Yup, having high expectations when opportunities are limited or non-existent eventually leads to anger, frustration and boredom. It can also lead to some people breaching lockdown restrictions and potentially putting themselves and others at risk. Frankly,
