Do you do this at a permanent place, or at the bus that comes around?

I've never done it in the bus, only at a permanent blood bank location.

I just checked and my first donation was actually March last year. So it's been 20months.

I go to Southbank in Melbourne but started in their Flinders St building in February 1980. Never done the bus.

Do you understand what double quotation marks are used for? Single quotes are used for making up quotes, paraphrasing, Daily Mail lies etc.

Terribly sorry to interrupt but you may or may not be aware that some on here think I can be a bit of a spelling/grammar nazi so I felt it only proper that I step in here and stop you because you're completely wrong in what you're teaching here.

Quotation marks should only be used for direct quotes which are by definition verbatim so really you should never put a made-up quote in quotation marks of any kind. You also never use quotation marks when paraphrasing as paraphrasing is the very opposite of quoting. Quotation marks may also be used for emphasising a word or idea although some prefer that you use italics or underlining in such cases. Whether you should use a single or double quotation mark is a matter of style because as I'm sure you're aware English doesn't have any sort of governing body so it's left to the individual/organisation to decide. The only real rule is that you be consistent.

It used to be that in British/Australian English the single quotation mark was preferred and that the use of a double quotation mark was only acceptable when quoting inside a quote. For example:
Trala said, 'Witty Banter told me, "You're not using the correct quotation mark!" '.​
The reverse is so in American English.
Trala said, "Witty Banter told me, 'You're not using the correct quotation mark!' "​

Due to the difficulty in conveying sarcasm and/or hyperbole in text it's become acceptable, albeit still wrong, to use quotation marks for made-up quotes in informal writing. And for those places that follow British usage the double quotation mark is usually favoured because it would not be used for a real quote (thereby distinguishing it from such) and also because it resembles air quotes. It is however just as acceptable to use single quotation marks because neither is technically correct.


Anyway, that's all I wanted to clear up so we can now return to our regular programming.

This place needs an organisational chart of stalking and ignored interrelationships. I would use a thick red line to denote Mutley's super stalking of me and my level of being unimpressed, and a dashed line between reepbot and lucas for ignored<->confused. Jessy and reepbot are suspects ignored<->oh. I'll keep you posted on the developing JordanS/delcan surprise friends wavy line.

Ha ha ha. How could that possibly require a rewrite, and where does extortion fit?

It's like watching a poisonous love story grow.

I can see the movie trailer now.

One of the Big Four Bank's Slayer locks cyber eyes on We Hate The Same People, and from there a malignant one dimensional relationship is born. A relationship built on toxicity, repetitive baiting, late nights and hate filled PM messages...

You love the word cyber, but there is no bigger cyber faux persona on here than you. Who actually believes you talk to people in real life the way you do in here? You'd be fired for sexual harassment or arrested. Long ago. Every single person in here is more true to their own character than your cyber alter ego.

But I do, Bank Slayer.

Ask "Bleachy" 'Mutley', "caspersmum" "timmydownawell" and "Coops" how my real life looks or sounds. I talk to them all regularly and they are also privy to my real life on Facebook.

It shows your level of social retardation that you don't have friends you can be a bit naughty with.

Given the time you spend in here, how many people have you actually talked to who are members in this forum.

Arrested for sexual harassment indeed.

Again with the masturbatory outrage?!

I really believe if you stop this incessant hatred you channel at your penis, and just accepted it gets hard, and just wanked it, you would release a lot of this obssessive hate and spite you have going on.

Just do us all a favour and choke it!! Oh and be warned, you're gonna need a shit load tissues to soak up the horizontal waterfall of angry tears post wank.

There is a place for people who speak like you do to strangers, and that is sex offender prison.
