Cliches are old hat; avoid them like the plague!

My spell Czech is rubbish!

Tina McKala: u nas v cechach ten vas americky "spell check" taky nefunguje... ;)

January 17, 2014 at 6:49AM

William Walz: Try writing in english.

January 17, 2014 at 7:37AM

Tina McKala: try google translator... he was making fun with spell "czech" so I replied to him in czech language... no big deal. try to take it easy.

January 17, 2014 at 7:48AM

Aaron James: Omlouvam se, že to slysím, ale pri pohledu na psaný cesky, že mi sotva prekvapí, Tina lol x

January 17, 2014 at 8:22AM

Aaron James: You'll have to Czech to see if that's correct though. ;)

January 17, 2014 at 8:32AM

Tina McKala: LOL indeed.

January 17, 2014 at 11:17AM

Nafa Naseer: Hello

May 8, 2014 at 8:33AM

A friend of ours has won the local heroes award for Northern Ireland in The Pride of Britain Awards. She is an incredible woman who has raised huge amounts of charity money while herself suffering from Ovarian Cancer. She has made huge progress in raising awareness of Ovarian cancer and is so deserving of this accolade. I just wanted to share this song which she wrote and recorded as part of her fundraising activity.

Cumbrianlass: That's lovely, Aaron. My thoughts are often with you guys. xx

September 28, 2013 at 10:04AM

It seems like ages since I last posted anything. I am still here and reading what I can. Time is so difficult to find to write or review anything at the moment. Hope to be back soon though and hope everyone is well.

Debra White: Hope all is well with you also Aaron :) x

May 1, 2013 at 8:46AM

Debra White: Happy Birthday dear Angieeeee, Happy Birthday to youuuu :) x

May 1, 2013 at 10:08AM

DIS-illusioned: Let your gift to her be changing that last name of yours to another letter--'z' maybe? Angie x has become so cliche. :-p :-D

May 1, 2013 at 10:17AM

Happy St. George's Day to everyone but, especially to all our English friends!

Debra White: Happy St George's Day :D

April 23, 2013 at 5:25AM

danille: april the 23 is my birthday

June 16, 2013 at 3:23PM

Yay! Angie is home! Feeling rather bruised, battered and very tired, but glad to be back home. Time for lots of spoiling me thinks!

Twilightspire: Woo-hoo! I'm so happy for you two. Spoil indeed.

April 16, 2013 at 3:56PM

Sally Carter: Fantastic. Yeah, spoil her rotten, eh?

April 16, 2013 at 4:15PM

Debra White: Fantastic news Aaron :) So happy you have her home x

April 16, 2013 at 4:38PM

Taffspride: that is great news Aaron, most definitely spoil time

April 16, 2013 at 5:01PM

Hi Guys, for those who have been asking after my wife, Angie...while her initial surgery seemed to go quite well she was rushed back to theatre yesterday having developed a complication with her bowel. Two major operations in just a few days is obviously difficult, but she is recovering well and is still smiling. With more chemo on the way your continued healing thoughts, prayers and crossed fingers/toes are appreciated.

Sally Carter: I'm very sorry to hear this, after the last post I saw, when all seemed to be good. She sounds a determined lady. I hope all goes smoothly after the second op.

April 13, 2013 at 6:23PM

Cumbrianlass: Thinking of you guys, Aaron. Hope Angie feels better soon! x

April 13, 2013 at 6:42PM

Taffspride: Keeping you both in my prayers. Hope your wife feels better soon.

April 13, 2013 at 8:57PM

Joy Graham: Praying all goes well.

April 14, 2013 at 12:15AM

Debra White: You're both in my thoughts Aaron. Stay strong. Sending hugs and every best wish xx

April 14, 2013 at 4:31AM

Sarkems: fingers, toes and legs crossed for you both, Aaron. She's a fighter

April 14, 2013 at 4:53AM

danille: i am very sorry to hear this

June 16, 2013 at 3:29PM

Disclaimer: Although I may sometimes correct your grammar, I have nothing against old ladies.

William Walz: Just don't correct my Grandma.

April 10, 2013 at 8:44PM

Debra White: Funny...!

April 11, 2013 at 3:49AM

The magic of punctuation:
A woman, without her man, is nothing.
A woman, without her, man is nothing.

rama devi: :-)

April 7, 2013 at 3:17PM

Debra White: Ta-da!! :D

April 8, 2013 at 6:28AM

October21: Those commas... Can make such the difference...:-) second one is true!

April 9, 2013 at 5:46AM

Aaron James: haha! I am sure many would agree with you, O21. For me, I think there is probably truth to them both.

April 9, 2013 at 5:58AM

The lodger has been evicted! Thanks for all your prayers, healing thoughts and good wishes. Angie is quite comfortable after a long surgery and enjoying some much deserved sleep.

adewpearl: fantastic news!

April 3, 2013 at 5:55AM

Cumbrianlass: I'm beyond happy to hear this news, Aaron. x

April 3, 2013 at 8:46AM

Sally Carter: Wonderful news!

April 3, 2013 at 10:03AM

Joy Graham: Awesome!

April 3, 2013 at 10:32AM

Debra White: I'm crossing everything for Angie and wishing her a speedy recovery. Make sure that kettle is always on Mr James, you know Yorkshire tea is renowned for it's healing properties! In all seriousness, you're both in my thoughts and prayers. Warmest regards, Debra x

April 3, 2013 at 5:12PM

In 8 hours, my wonderful wife, Angie, will be undergoing surgery. She is having a total abdominal hysterectomy as well as having a huge cancerous tumour removed. Your prayers, healing thoughts, even crossed fingers and toes for a successful outcome would be most welcome.

Sally Carter: Wishing her a successful operation, Aaron. Keep us posted. All parts duly crossed for you.

April 1, 2013 at 7:42PM

Aaron James: Thank you, Sally. x

April 1, 2013 at 8:07PM

adewpearl: You and she are both definitely in my prayers.

April 1, 2013 at 9:04PM

Joy Graham: Prayers are going up!

April 1, 2013 at 9:11PM

My wife, Angie, has got a preliminary date of 9 April for surgery to remove her tumour. She calls it Roger the lodger and is telling friends and family he is being evicted. Haha!

Got to love the woman!

Cumbrianlass: Love her sense of humour, and may Roger the lodger by ousted for good!

March 25, 2013 at 10:37PM

It's my grandson's birthday today. He got a lovely card from his girlfriend...didn't even know he had one.

"I hope you haven't been kissing," I joked.

"Hmmmm not a bad idea that, Grandad," he said.

OMG! He's 5 years old lol!

Taffspride: Got to love em. Happy birthday to your grandson.

March 19, 2013 at 3:56PM

redrider6612: Cute! Better keep an eye on that one.

March 19, 2013 at 5:49PM

happy birthday to me!

Sally Carter: Have a lovely day!

March 10, 2013 at 8:35PM

J.Collishaw: Happy birthday to you!!!

March 10, 2013 at 9:32PM

Joy Graham: Happy Birthday!

March 10, 2013 at 9:34PM

Cumbrianlass: Happy birthday, Aaron! Mine's a lager 'n' lime (pint, none of this half crap). And a bag of cheese 'n' onion. Ta. x

March 10, 2013 at 9:53PM

Aaron James: Aw, thanks guys. Lime, Av? pffft, lightweight.

March 11, 2013 at 3:05PM

If GH stands for P as in Hiccough
If OUGH stands for O as in Dough
If PHTH stands for T as in Phthisis
If EIGH stands for A as in Neighbour
If TTE stands for T as in Gazette
If EAU stands for O as in Plateau
The right way to spell POTATO should be GHOUGHPHTHEIGHTTEEAU!

Cumbrianlass: Mashed ghoughphtheightteeau? Ghoughphtheightteeau chips? Just call it a spud. :D

February 28, 2013 at 7:57PM

Aaron James: you mean sghud? lol

February 28, 2013 at 8:03PM

Bicpen: I like mine baked with a bit of butter and fresh coleslaw, how do you spell YUM ... !!!

February 28, 2013 at 8:34PM

redrider6612: um, we spell it "hiccup" here in the USA

February 28, 2013 at 9:35PM

SeLF: It's no wonder that English is regarded as a difficult language to learn/use. It plagiarizes from Greek, Latin and the Romance languages, and many others, too. If the plural of mouse is mice, why isn't the plural of house hice? If the plural of goose is geese, why isn't the plural of moose meese? And then there's there, their, and they're, and discreet and discrete, etc., etc. :-)

March 24, 2013 at 7:35PM

We probably all occasionally suffer from 'the block.' Does anyone have the other problem where so many projects are in the head, the mind can't wrap itself around any individual one, thus making it impossible to begin any?

judelesemann: Yes, I run into that all the time. A much better problem than a blank mind!

February 12, 2013 at 9:20PM

bura: owhh...so bad

February 16, 2013 at 2:42AM

In the UK horse meat has been found in a range of frozen beef lasagne. I reckon they must have been made using that maskapony cheese!

judelesemann: Can't see that it was a problem. I've eaten every part of the goat except the eyeballs. COuldn't to eat something watching me do it!!!

February 12, 2013 at 9:21PM

About to renew my membership. Question, can you guys put up with with me for two years? If yes, read and review me. If no, read and review me.

Joy Graham: I'm here for two more years and you'll have to put up with me too :) We'll be thorns in each others sides together LOL!!! Renew away...

January 24, 2013 at 8:30PM

Aaron James: Ok, Joy. As you're so keen how can I refuse? lol

January 24, 2013 at 8:35PM

Khione Lock: Of course, Aaron. I need your medieval, swash-buckling stories on this website. They make me want to fence...and drink tea...and go back in time.

January 24, 2013 at 10:52PM

Thanks to everyone who voted for my entry in the 'Surprise Me' writing prompt contest. 'A Christmas Surprise' was my first posting of the year and my first win since joining FanStory. Things have been pretty tough lately so the win was a lovely surprise for me...how appropriate!

Val Crisson: Congratulations, Aaron!

January 18, 2013 at 6:51AM

Cumbrianlass: Well deserved, Aaron. Really pleased for you.

January 18, 2013 at 10:24AM

Aaron James: Thanks Guys! x

January 20, 2013 at 8:41PM

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope 2013 proves to be prosperous for you all!

To everyone on FanStory. I wish you a very merry Christmas and prosperous new year.

Cumbrianlass: Same to you, Aaron. :)

December 24, 2012 at 8:12PM

jjstar: Merry Christmas, Aaron. Sorry I haven't been around to review. Got a job as an editor and am swamped...:)

December 24, 2012 at 11:02PM

Cedar: Have a safe and happy holiday season my friend and keep writing, it's good for you. Cheers/Bill

December 25, 2012 at 11:57AM

To my FanStory friends. Please accept my apologies for my recent inactivity in both posting and reviewing. I am aware I have lots to catch up on and I will do when my mind is in a better place. My wife has recently been diagnosed with cancer and I am sure you will appreciate that she is my priority. It may be a while so may I wish everyone best wishes for a happy christmas and successful new year. Kindest regards, Aaron.

Sarkems: Good grief, Aaron, you have nothing to apologise for. I wish you and your wife all the best during this time

December 9, 2012 at 7:44PM

Sally Carter: Oh Aaron, forget it! I wish your wife well, and hope you both have a peaceful Christmas together and that 2013 brings better things.

December 10, 2012 at 12:40AM

A pretty girl asked me to give her an example of a double entendre so I gave her one.

Cumbrianlass: *Sigh* Yorkshiremen. (Rolls eyes)

November 10, 2012 at 10:34PM

Aaron James: Geez! Av, you and those darned eyes! ;)

November 11, 2012 at 6:34AM

Cumbrianlass: HA!

November 11, 2012 at 8:00AM

Jamaica was lovely but now back to working for a living. (Groan). Soon be back to the three R's too. Reading, reviewing and righting. Oh dear I really am out of practice. :/

Cumbrianlass: Welcome back, Sir Aaron. ;o)

October 23, 2012 at 12:32PM

William Walz: Do you mean righting some wrongs?

October 23, 2012 at 12:58PM

Aaron James: Thanks Av, I would say it's good to be back but...hmmm

October 23, 2012 at 1:37PM

Aaron James: Not quite what I meant William, but I am sure I'll have quite a lot of wrongs to right over the coming days. ;)

October 23, 2012 at 1:39PM

THEHISTORYMAKER: Good Joke Aaron. I like where your coming from

November 1, 2012 at 7:04PM

Aaron James: I like where I came from it's where I'm heading that's the worry!

November 1, 2012 at 9:03PM

Well I have a few things to do around the site between now and Sunday but then...2 weeks in Jamaica. I have been warned however that I am not allowed my laptop (or even my phone) so I won't be able to read and review until I get back. Sorry folks!

adewpearl: Sorry? If someone gave me a trip to Jamaica, I would take the ticket and run and not feel one bit guilty for ignoring the site for two weeks. LOL :-)

September 28, 2012 at 3:54PM

Aaron James: Aw but Brooke I am an Englishman and as such it is incumbent on me to be polite. (I don't give a poo really lol).

September 28, 2012 at 4:01PM

Cumbrianlass: I, for one, will miss you. But have a great time, my friend. Buy the t-shirt.

September 28, 2012 at 9:06PM

adewpearl: You guys have to be polite all the time? How dreary. LOL

September 28, 2012 at 11:00PM

Sarkems: Do we bollocks! If we do, I missed the memo

September 29, 2012 at 6:53AM

Sally Carter: Don't give a poo - hahahaaa

September 29, 2012 at 8:59AM

"Lets eat Grandma!" "Let's eat, Grandma!" Punctuation saves lives!

Grammies: What a HOOT! I laughed so hard at this one I scared the dogs awake!

August 30, 2012 at 5:49PM

adewpearl: I have to use this in SPAG class the next time I teach direct address. :-)

August 30, 2012 at 8:09PM

Bicpen: It can also kill people...!!!

August 30, 2012 at 8:14PM

Lady & Louis: My absolute favourite misplaced comma is one I saw years ago. It came from a personal ad in an English newspaper. "Housekeeper wanted. Non smoking cat, lover mandatory."

August 30, 2012 at 8:40PM

Sally Carter: HahahaHAAAA, love both of them, but Louise's gets just one more vote. Brilliant! Especially if you actually read it in a paper. Classic.

August 31, 2012 at 3:15AM

Lady & Louis: I read it in a paper article quoting a paper ad, does that count? :D I just love the image of a housekeeper who's a non-smoking cat and has a lover ...

August 31, 2012 at 4:01AM

daniaa: Hi mmm i am a new member here and i would like some body to help me here ... I just click on your name ! Sorry huh

September 16, 2012 at 4:27PM

I'm pretty friendly with 25 letters of the alphabet! I don't really know Y!

Lady & Louis: Argh! :D

August 21, 2012 at 7:59PM

Cumbrianlass: Ouch!

August 21, 2012 at 8:46PM

Cumbrianlass: BTW - profile looks good, Aaron. ;o)

August 21, 2012 at 8:47PM

Sally Carter: Haha, one of the top ten jokes from the DAVE channel? I printed them off for a radio show this morning. I like: I saw a documentary on how ships are kept together. Riveting

August 22, 2012 at 1:09AM

Aaron James: Oh Sally that is the worst I've heard all week!

August 22, 2012 at 4:18AM

Aaron James: Thanks Av! ;)

August 22, 2012 at 4:18AM

rama devi: Warm welcome!

Sally Carter: I entered the Olympics sun bathing contest, but I only got bronze...

August 22, 2012 at 5:31AM

Cumbrianlass: Sally! LOL!

August 22, 2012 at 7:37AM

Aaron James: Ooooh! Sally you asked for it. Risky one this but... Abstinence makes the church grow fondlers!

August 22, 2012 at 8:03AM

shelley kaye: could never "get" algebra. always put X=24. i got the answers wrong.... but X does equal 24!
