  It's called a forum Gordon - don't post if you don'w want people to interact. Nice real handicap, sorry about your mum.

  I moved house 6 months ago and I stupidly didn't think I would need to worry about internet connection - fatal mistake! Got a meter with one leg...

  i dont get some people on this site, its like there picking on me

  Correct me if I'm wrong here, Gordon, but aren't you actually playing with your left hand because you broke your right wrist? The way some of these posts read, it's like they don't know.

  Re: the "numb hand" in Tiffers reply.

  I recall the movie "Gone in 60 seconds", I think it was.

  Shall I continue?

  Timbo1984:

  I assume you meant "Damn", as in... "That Damn weather channel!"

  Once you damn something it becomes damned, as in.."That damned weather channel!"

  Actually since the acceptance of the word "Damn" (I have no clue when that was), it's widely regarded as follows...

  "To declare (something) to be bad, unfit, invalid or illegal."

  Because the origins of the word are derived from the word "Damned" does not mean you can automatically reduce the usage of it to be past tense.

  Also you could argue the historical meaning of the word "Damned" (which at one time merely meant "Hell") which has changed over time and with usage, would not be correct in my sentence or in context of the OP.

  Also I agree that this (damn vs damned) is a conundrum, with countless origins and arguments in favour of each, and could be debated till the end of time.

  So now we've had that Dictionary slap match...

  Lets go play some golf!

  LOL. Good comeback, interesting. I reduce it to the simple word form myself. The "ed" makes it an adjective describing something. Damn would become the verb, or action word. Once you damn something it becomes damned.  :-)

  Calm down  ,WGT is an ONLINE golf game , big deal if your putt lips out, My best friend cant play a real golf game because of illness but he can play wgt and we still can get together and play the closest thing he will ever have to a round of golf . Believe me he don't care if his putts lip out hes just happy he's still around to have putts lip out . Reality check spend 6 months with someone going thru cancer treatments you'll never complain about how boring wgt is becoming you'll just think  lipped out putts aren't so bad.Have fun everyone. Oh i had 2 eagles in same game for the first time not to long ago i shot -5 , i will never have that good a game again lol  that right there will keep me coming back . As for shooting -14 every game thats boring

  Tigers, you've replied to a 3 1/2 year old thread!! 

  There's plenty of moaning, whining threads that are up to date to choose from.
