Whatever happened to that old bloke who used to fill You Tube with his Villa songs?

It most certainly was. One of my all-time favourites.

Unfortunately it didn't make it across as I believe it was in the announcements thread, and I couldn't see it when I went looking for his exact saying.

I've taken that from Family Guy, just to clarify
That does not excuse poor grammer.

Grammar? Or did you mean Kelsey Grammer?

I was thinking if he was ever found and is still around he could narrate Fletch's post on You Tube.

He's a useless waste of space. Another example.
Good examples from both of you.

But I think I'm going to have a hard time justifying it and claiming that I had it right on that post!

Punctuation can also be more important than you might imagine.

Bravo.

Although I think the club are unlikely to respond to letters written to them, regardless of how well they are punctuated.

Sir (Uncle) Doug didn't ignore my correspondence in years gone by, even if the occasional , '  - ! ? were   
out of place.

It's a concern, but perhaps not a surprise, that the current CEO appears not to respond to the written word,
unlike Doug from whom I always had a reply. I occasionally bump into his secretary who informed me, perhaps
tongue in cheek, that he had a separate file of my rants.
