FIne
if no one else is going to start an evening thread, I will

Mostly just to go on about the fact that I will have a HOUSE TOMORROW!!

The first thing I will do it hammer a nail into the wall. 17 years of renting houses, I need to hammer nails and paint walls.

A question? How about What is awesome about houses? What is the best colour? What the hell are you up to? What is the square root of the biggest cubist tree?

I just popped in to say that. Shortly (I hope) I'm going to my best friend's house to discuss why men are all bastards over wine. There may discussing of fashion, manicures and hair-braiding also, before anyone says it. I needed a good, manly poo first to counterbalance this.

The expression logically should be “feats of daring-do” because that’s just what it means: deeds of extreme daring. But through a chain of misunderstandings explained in the Oxford English Dictionary, the standard form evolved with the unusual spelling “derring-do,” and “daring-do” is an error.
