Damn. I was hoping somebody might be able to come up with something.

There's a film about him called The Libertine, starring Johnny Depp. It begins with him telling the audience that he knows they all want to shag him, and he doesn't blame them, and they'd love it because he's brilliant in bed, and they can shag him if they want because he can't get enough. English degrees contain some funny stuff.

Yes, the intent of both sentences was identical.

I'm in Hull (which you've probably heard of, what with the ferries), and we often skip the pronoun in the same way as you with your book. For example, if you said you were going to the shops, I'd reply "Mind if I come with?" I wonder if it's parallel evolution of dialects, or if we pinched it off you or vice versa.

Exactly. He's overdue for his head-checking. *nodnods* I had the feeling it would, but I felt obliged to point it out. ^^

...darn. But hey, I learned something new, so it wasn't a total waste~

Although, to be fair, I think it's only used around me when people want to talk about me. It would be a bit pot, kettle, black if I did use it.

Anyway. a) South East England
and b) I'd actually say "he needs to have his head checked". Out of the two, "he needs his head checked" sounds better to me though.

I have not been able to get a message through to a Hotmail account in over a month.

Have a roast "vorcel hawk" on a shiny silver platter. Yes, it's a CAF, but it is edible. Mostly.

May I use her in my PPC? She'll just be called in without being noticed by the Agents, get annoyed and teleport back to the POTC 'verse with a pop.

I think the authors of C*l*br**n, Ch* Ch*ng's D*sires, and S*bj*g*t**n need their heads examined.

I'm from the States. I'd use "He needs his head checked."

but these are meant for DMSE&R labs, not actual missions.

And other Sues out there are meant to be taken seriously. If they were intentionally bad, it's easier on my consience when I put them through rapid Glitter drain dialysis or stick vampire bats in them to de-Sueify them.

*gifts with Suenicorn jerky* You can eat it...or something...

a) Untied States of Hysteria.
b) "he needs his head checked".

a) Northeast United States
b) "He needs his head checked."

And here, have this retractable spork. So you can steal other people's cake off their plates, and then look innocent whilst they wonder where their food went.
Oh, and you can also spork things from a distance with it. Like Sues. Although why you'd want to spork 'em from a distance when you can get up close and personal with a nice sharp blade and....ahem. Yeah. I'll shut up now, and let you have a good birthday.

a) Originally from Cornwall, but been living in the Midlands for twelve years.
b) I'd use "he needs his head checking", but that's more because that's how I've always heard the phrase used (and used it myself) than for any reasons of grammatical correctness.

*carefully balanced cylinder on head*

someone's gotten drunk in my honour. (Besides, you know, after my father found out my mother was pregnant. And when my mother found out she was pregnant. And probably when I was conceived, knowing my parents.) Thank you!

Someone certainly knows the way to my heart. *cuddles Sky Bison*
