The fact that I first used three before switching to four should have told you this. I could have completely went overboard in the piss-pulling stakes here (a la Lynne Truss) - ''Why.......................do...................people.............use.........ellipses'' - but I thought I would excise restraint for once. PS I have always used full stops for the ellipsis and find they perfectly suffice. You're both talking foreign to me. The only time I use three dots is when they look like this Edited August 7, 2016 by Dazey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id love for him to do Frampton. What Frampton has done has gone relatively under the radar but it really was a big achievement. Selbz worried me against Hunter, he seemed pretty bulletproof prior to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all well and good, but I had you pegged has relocating to East Cheam which is Surrey; and thought you were now in Surrey too. Where did East Cheam come about, is it a Tony Hancock reference/ode if not your current locale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no such place as East Cheam, it was invented by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson as a place of residence for the Hancock character, 23 Railway Cuttings, East Cheam, Cheam being a well to do sort of place they invented East Cheam to denote the wrong side of the tracks in Cheam, it is entirely a Hancock reference.

I've heard of Cheam and just assumed you moved .. I should have known. Again, me and Surrey are a bit funny since I'm in Greater London and know that and know more about the moon than the rest of Surrey, sometimes. What I know about my county can be summed up in one post, I may as well do it now.. Re-cap; Marshall Amps Magna Carta Has a team (cricket). That lavender field I want to go to/Mayfield Lavender Farm, is in Banstead.. BBC Top Gear's test track It's a home county due to it's proximity to London. Places I've been to in Surrey outside of London so you actually see Surrey county signage and services; Banstead Horley I'm 30 (this year). I live in Thornton Heath, Surrey... In Greater London. I get London signage and services with an +44 20 8 (020 8) area code.. Things I know but had not yet mentioned in here; Eric Clapton comes from Surrey (If I've already mentioned this, I apologise , but whatever, re-cap it then). And I think Ringo Starr has a castle/mansion in Surrey. I've seen horse racing themed stuff at Belmont which is near Epsom Downs, but I don't really deal with equestrians that much; Epsom Downs is a track where they race horses. ... So when I saw you put East Cheam I thought you moved to East Cheam, because, living where I do, you hear of places like Guildford, Chessington Zoo (Surrey also has a thing called Chessington Zoo, like a theme park).. Banstead, Cheam etc.. but without going, IDK, East Cheam could just as easily be a train station/part of Cheam that I googled it to see where Cheam was; Surrey or Hertfordshire; and all I got from google is Tony Hancock!? and as I suspected, Cheam wasn't in Hertfordshire. - Just chalk it up to me not knowing Surrey.
