Aaron James: Thank you very much America...I guess that means we'll now have to have Piers Morgan back! It's just not right! You're heartless. lol
    Julia.: LOL. I will not miss that blowhard one bit if he gets sent back home. -
    Julia.: Would you take Justin Bieber instead? -
    Aaron James: Ooh you drive a hard bargain, Julia. If I take him, does it matter where I take him to? I have lots of horrible ideas lol -
    Julia.: Nope. You can do whatever you want with him. :) -

Aaron James: Cliches are old hat; avoid them like the plague!


Aaron James: My spell Czech is rubbish!
    Tina McKala: u nas v cechach ten vas americky "spell check" taky nefunguje... ;) -
    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. -
    Aaron James: Omlouvam se, že to slysím, ale pri pohledu na psaný cesky, že mi sotva prekvapí, Tina lol x -
    Aaron James: You'll have to Czech to see if that's correct though. ;) -


Aaron James: Oh oh! I just swallowed my Scrabble tiles! The next toilet trip could spell disaster!
    Aaron James: Ouch Debs? Oh you have a low pain threshold. It can get much worse haha! -
    Debra White: I hope you're not talking jenga blocks Aaron?! -
    Aaron James: What??? That would have me scrabbling about the bathroom floor! -

Aaron James: 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 -


Aaron James: 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 -

Aaron James: Happy Birthday to my lovely wife, Angie x
    Debra White: Happy Birthday dear Angieeeee,
    Happy Birthday to youuuu :) x -
    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 -


Aaron James: Happy St. George's Day to everyone but, especially to all our English friends!
    danille: april the 23 is my birthday -


Aaron James: 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. -
    Debra White: Fantastic news Aaron :) So happy you have her home x -
    Taffspride: that is great news Aaron, most definitely spoil time -


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

    x -
    Taffspride: Keeping you both in my prayers. Hope your wife feels better soon. -
    Debra White: You're both in my thoughts Aaron. Stay strong. Sending hugs and every best wish xx -
    Sarkems: fingers, toes and legs crossed for you both, Aaron. She's a fighter -
    danille: i am very sorry to hear this
    -


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


Aaron James: The magic of punctuation:
A woman, without her man, is nothing.
A woman, without her, man is nothing.
    October21: Those commas... Can make such the difference...:-) second one is true! -
    Aaron James: haha! I am sure many would agree with you, O21. For me, I think there is probably truth to them both. -


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

    x -
    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 -


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


Aaron James: 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!

Aaron James: 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.
    -


Aaron James: happy birthday to me!
    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 -
    Aaron James: Aw, thanks guys. Lime, Av? pffft, lightweight. -


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


Aaron James: 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! -
    bura: owhh...so bad -


Aaron James: 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!!! -


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


Aaron James: 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!
    Cumbrianlass: Well deserved, Aaron. Really pleased for you. -
    Beverley101: Oh I'm so glad you won. That was a lovely story and so well written. Bev -


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


Aaron James: To everyone on FanStory. I wish you a very merry Christmas and prosperous new year.
    jjstar: Merry Christmas, Aaron. Sorry I haven't been around to review. Got a job as an editor and am swamped...:) -
    Cedar: Have a safe and happy holiday season my friend and keep writing, it's good for you. Cheers/Bill -


Aaron James: 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 -
    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. -


Aaron James: A pretty girl asked me to give her an example of a double entendre so I gave her one.
    Aaron James: Geez! Av, you and those darned eyes! ;) -


Aaron James: 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. :/
    Aaron James: Thanks Av, I would say it's good to be back but...hmmm -
    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. ;) -
    Aaron James: I like where I came from it's where I'm heading that's the worry! -


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

    -
    adewpearl: You guys have to be polite all the time? How dreary. LOL -
    Sarkems: Do we bollocks! If we do, I missed the memo -


Aaron James: "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! -
    adewpearl: I have to use this in SPAG class the next time I teach direct address. :-) -
    Bicpen: It can also kill people...!!! -
    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." -
    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. -
    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 ... -
    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

Aaron James: I'm pretty friendly with 25 letters of the alphabet! I don't really know Y!
    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 -
    Aaron James: Oh Sally that is the worst I've heard all week! -
    Sally Carter: I entered the Olympics sun bathing contest, but I only got bronze... -
    Aaron James: Ooooh! Sally you asked for it. Risky one this but...
    Abstinence makes the church grow fondlers! -
    shelley kaye: could never "get" algebra. always put X=24. i got the answers wrong....

    Selina Stambi: Oh, my, you've had me chuckling all the way down this page! There are some seriously funny folks here!! -
