The problem with putting you on the ignore user list is that people invariably quote yr posts and berate you for talking shite, thus meaning that I get to see yr drivel anyway.

Because is definitely a word that may be used at the start of a sentence.

Roger Kimmit, however, should never be mentioned in any sentence ever. He went to my school, then turned up living in my uni halls a couple years later. He's like a turd nugget that won't flush. I swear I'm gonna go into work one day and he'll be sat next to me.

Using 'yr' is one of the greatest examples around of just how English shouldn't be used.

It amuses me that people keep replying..is it some kind of urge that people have? The urge to show just how manly they are? The overwhelming need to belong?

Did you live in the halls near the BP garage?

Anyway, it's ugly to start a sentence with 'because'.

He invited us to a party there...turned up for a laugh, it was immediately obvious that everyone hated him there and yet he was trying to tell us (and everyone at the party) how much weed he sold and how much of a dealer he was. I remeber wondering how long it would be before everyone in those flats would kick the shit out of him for being such a complete nob.

No idea what's happened to him lately actually.

Pretty sure you have that the wrong way round; perhaps Robert Lowth might have thought it was wrong, but no one here bar you seems to agree.
