Germanic or Swahili?

Herr Spudfacednipper,
"handsome gay man"
First the good news. At last, you have produced a post without a glaring error in spelling. Now for the bad news. Comma strangulation is an obvious sign of Germanic or Swahili origins.
As an afterthought, I iintend to monitor your posts for linguistic quality. After all, UK citizenship beckons, Herr Spudfacednipper! You don't want to be cleaning the toilets at the Ministry of Defence for the rest of your life, do you?
As for the intellectual content of your posts, I suspect similar monitoring would be a hopeless task.
Bye for now.

"No bad news. Comma use here would be a matter of preFERence, not understanding".
Now you appear to be undermining all the good work that you did at Immigration English Lesson 14 Why use commas?
Why be so cavalier? Don't ask about this word, by the way, just wait until you attend History for newly arrived immigrants, Lesson 10 for an explanation.
"BTW, I feel my lack of faith in your promise to ignore my posts was quickly shown to be justified. I've never understood why people on forums (fora tee hee) insist on promising not to respond to posts, only to respond to posts a few minutes later. It makes the promiser look like he has learning difficulties. Why not just avoid promising in the first place? "
Good grief, is this the first time you have used a forum, Herr Nipper. Don't they have forums (I will let you add the hilarious joke in another post) where you come from? Please realise, nothing is as it appears on an Internet forum.
Cheerio now (Meetings and Greetings, Lesson 20)

"I refer you to the advice of all reputable users of the English language - all rules can be broken if it improves the look or sound of a sentence."
Really? In this statement lies chaos, Herr Nipper. This may be ok in Tanzania, but not here, I'm afraid.
Any repeat and you will be back in the same container that brought you over here, toilet brush in hand.
"Please realise, nothing is as it appears on an Internet forum.
Sometimes, Davidski, you stumble upon the truth in the same way that stopped clocks are correct twice a day"
Ah, Herr Nipper that would appear to give me a much higher hit rate of truth than you, my little African chum.

You Leftie lovers have done a good job of sabotaging my post in order to deter people from voting for the Tories, but it seems that Prosser the tosser the Labour MP for Dover is keeping his head down on this one, a bit of a fence sitter i would say with an election on the horizon, personally i would like to see a hung parliament at the next election, yes all of them hung by the neck upside down so when they gyrate at the end of a rope all of the money they have stolen fom us taxpayers falls to the ground and is the last sight they see as they go to hell !cigar!
Apologies, Graham

Herr Nipper,
"Firstly, you may want to think up something original for your next post, rather than merely plagiarising my wit and wisdom from previous posts"
I prefer to hit you over the head with your own stick rather than dirtying mine. I mean that in a metaphorical way. That carry-on might be acceptable where you come from, but not over here.
Anyway I will leave you to post now, young Nipper, having given you a virtual tsetse fly in your ear. I have more important things to do than tease you. And Graham is correct, his thread has been hijacked with our nonsense. Apologies to Graham.

A round of applause for Spudface and Johnson. Pure entertainment. In my mind you both were on the white cliffs of Dover, berets on, onions round neck, bashing eachother over the head with baguettes.
I do hope you find more topics on which to disagree.
Now I know spudface isn't Keith; Keith is sooo much more boring.
