    That's pretty good, Mike. It had me stumped.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    eek

    along these lines
    Where Tom had had, Had Harry had had had, had had had, Had had the teachers' (approval). We wouldn't be in this fine mess.

    theres just 3 hads too many for my liking.
    the problem is you can interchange 'had' with if, did, have, blah...

    hope this helps.
    of course if Had was a name,...
    Where Tom had had Had, Harry had Had. Had had had Had, Had had the teachers approval. :P had also had a very sore bottom.

    Actually, since you didnt say what form of english we had to use ie. standard, international, oxford, proper, american or general (local dialect).

    I shall use the latter. In which case the correct way of using the words is the way it was described in the original post - as evidence by the fact, that it was successfully used in that post.

    Yes it was used in the first post, but it didnt make any sense. I can write a random combination of letters down, but I cant claim they make sense.....
    The organisation of words would have to have some meaning.

    LOL! yeah, thats pretty close to what my first attempt was too. I might've thought it was a possible answer except that it came from a mate who works for VERO and it was part of a 'lets get our grammer sorted' drive (sounds like a buckets of fun sort of company eh?) and I knew they wouldn't be that dodgy!

    Well done Mike. Figured you might be one of the first to get it
