Thank you to those who responded to my lameness. I accept the whoosh. Won’t happen again. I wish I could do the multi-quote thing, but as it happens, I don’t have a mouth tube, voice recognition software or a cadre of caregivers. And I’m using my ipad. But I do feel rather at home here. ---

It’s **PAVEMENT** you fucking idiots! Honey - it’s not the English fucking language - it’s the fucking English language. Well… unless you’re meaning it in the sense of how much we screw it up when we talk. 😃 Now… i’m off to order a pizza and eat the whole damn thing all by myself, because it’s Monday, that’s why! And I missed all the fun! ---

Tell me again about this college in Rutherglen. I’m only familiar with higher education, not tertiary education colleges, but I must admit I can’t recall any dedicated colleges to Sixth Year Studies in the area. Do you really just mean you’re in sixth year at secondary school? Stonelaw High? Or [Rutherglen High](http://www.southlanarkshire.gov.uk/info/886/schools-additional_support_needs/844/rutherglen_high_school), since it’s a bit more wheelchair friendly? > [@Joey\_P](#): > > That’s what all these threads are about, right? > > Also, I mentioned in some other thread, but CI doesn’t even have to meet her. JayMac offered to take a picture, but I had this funny feeling she was just going to find a picture of a wheel chair and upload it. How about she writes SDMB on some paper, sets that on the wheel chair, takes a picture and uploads that. Not too big of a stretch, right, and not too personal. Even Jamie McGarry linked to his FB in his early days. Just sayin’ > [@Psychopants](#): > > But I do feel rather at home here.

Hey—why not take her up on the offer? We don’t yet know if jaymac exists, but we do know that Tesco does. So, at least we have our first piece of evidence…a hard fact here that can be verified: I assume that there really is a Tesco on Dalmarnock Road, and I assume that there is a Costa inside\*. Now, it might be possible to verify the existence of Tesco by using google’s street view..but to discover what is inside the store , we need a real-life Sherlock Holmes to be physically present. Just as our “Person of Interest” (my favorite term used by the FBI) has also promised to be physically present. She offered to meet you at precisely 2PM–so we have another piece of evidence to be verified. Oh…ummm…well, yeah, she did just _happen_ to forget to mention which day, so there is still a little bit of wiggle room. But all you have to do is quit your day job and go to Tesco every day at 2:00 till jaymac shows up. ## Come on, **cinnamon Imp** ----Don’t let us down! Let’s get some hard proof! Fight Ignorance for all of us! \*as a non-Brit, I think I’m right that Tesco is a grocery store; but I have no idea what a Costa might be. A restaurant? A bank? A meeting place for parapalegics?
