And in case it gets edited...

Tanx is a game that Neil's being working on for almost as I've unfortunately known him and the aim of this entertaining platformer ...
Quite how that got past TIB's professional proof-reader Chocky I don't know! :P

Well that seems to be his main function on this site... grumbling about mis-used punctuation and the like.

And here we have a complete bolox sentence with all manner of errors on his beloved drobe!

No, it's getting people to shut up about things they don't know anything about.

Everyone makes typos, live with it.

And who said Chocky was drobe's proof reader? Tsk.

Do you actually try to make people laugh at you, or does it come naturally?

Yes, it is. It is. :) We should start a RISC OS bitch site, or do a comedy tour or something.

TAKK:

No, it's getting people to shut up about things they don't know anything about.

Turn your flippancy-dar back on and you'll notice that I was being silly. ;)

And here we have a complete bolox sentence with all manner of errors on his beloved drobe!

I'm the last person to have (serious) issues with typos - I was just overcome by the irony of it all and had to say. In a flippant manner. In the (silly, flippant, bolox playpen). :)

And who said Chocky was drobe's proof reader? Tsk.

Yes, as ACP said, I did. It's my phrase and I coin it. And he's our poof reader as well. :sniff:

No, it isn't. Believe me, I'm on the verge of just giving up the things I do in the RISC OS world (!Google, !RISCtalk, !Knightmare etc etc as well as IRC, these forume etc) because I'm getting fed up of chocky and takkaria basically treating me like s**t.

There. I said it.

Thats because the current version isn't very good. it needs a rewrite, but I don't know if I can be bothered right now

Actually, that posting shows exactly why they pick on you - you overreact to everything, and take things too seriously. :|

It's sunny!? :o

/me looks up from his folders and books and computer screen into the high arching vault-like roof of the computer lab, and sees something weak and yellow dribbling down through the small, dirt-encrusted windows.

/me shakes his head and goes back to work.
