That's what I always say - if you're wrong in one place, be wrong everywhere.

Or, to put it another way, if you can't be right, be consistent.

"Show me your lawnmower please"

Sounds a bit needy/rapey/pervy.

How about those threads which start:

An F40 would be a better tow car than a Discovery.

Discuss.

Discuss??

Dis-fking-cuss?!?!

Its clearly a reference to how exam questions are (or maybe were) worded.
Its 25 years since I was at school though, so maybe things are a bit more polite now.

"Hitler tried to take power in 1923, and 10 years later used the democratic process to be elected. Please - if you have time, and if it doesn't offend you or infringe your basic human rights - would it be ok if you wrote a bit about this, and showed you had been paying attention in History and not been thinking about finger-banging Chelsea at the party on Friday night? Great - thanks a lot"

Yes, I know where it originated but starting threads in the manner of a cane-wielding, gown-wearing, schoolmaster isn't polite.

Whilst racing my classic Ferrari around Silverstone, I would try to get a tow down the back straight from the F40 rather than a discovery...
