Guest alex Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) Does that make all nouns autonyms or have I got the wrong end of the stick on this? 124436[/snapback] Yes you have dummy. Scott is your name but it doesn't describe you does it? It applies to verbs that describe themselves I believe.

luckyluke 1 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I found out the weekend that foxes are allergic to bullets at the weekend. Good to know! Was out with a friend of my mam who shoots pheasant, he let me have a blast of his gun but then just as I was about to shoot one he snatched it off me and blasted a passing fox in the belly! Turns out the farmer whose land we were on pays him 50 quid for every fox he kills while he out shooting!!! Same farmer apparently raises his sheep dogs from pups then shoots them and buries them in a ditch in one of his fields once they've past a certain age, rather than shell out the cost to keep them. What the fuck is wrong with a shelter? 124398[/snapback] Gays out hunting? Whatever next?! 124416[/snapback] I'm staying indoors if that's the case.
