My daughter just asked me what 'sure' means.  I said that it means when you are certain or definite about something.  She said 'no, i mean when you ask a question and someone says "OK, sure"'.  Apparently she has a teacher that says it Roll Eyes

shooting someone from your car who's standing on the corner with his mates as you drive past, it's just annoying, you dont need it, especially if it's been raining and youve lost some money backing dogs, it's enough to give you the hump

WTF has happened to me

for sure.......what is? I give up with myself.
