I stole clendrix's sign.
It's a bit sweary, and I like that.

Good morning, Lustful one
How are you today? I was out last night and didn't get as much sleep as I've had liked but other than that I'm fine.

Except for the fish bone stuck in my throat.

Morning K2 and Al
I went to my friend's flat last night and sat about in my monkey pyjamas while I smoked a fattyboombatty, made a coaster out of hammer beads, did a jigsaw puzzle and watched footloose.
Kevin Bacon angry dancing FTW!

Both well this morning, apart from being a bit sleepy?

I had fish and chips
late last night in Glasgow after finishing the gig. But there was a bone in the fish and it's wedged itself at the back of my throat, which is causing me a bit of bother. I tried dislodging it with my finger and my toothbrush but it's still there, although not irritating me as much now.

Any hints for getting rid of it, other than going to hospital?

I am good good good today. Planning a big project... woo!

K2... have you thought about trying to swallow a line of dental floss, holding on to the end and dragging it back out. It's an odd feeling but it's worked for me in the past. Tie a bowline loop in the end you're going to swallow. It might take a few attempts :)

Well, Small Claims Court went better than I'd hoped. Ex Landlord was asking for 3 grand, Judge ruled that we owe no more than 900 quid, half of which was skip hire, the rest being rubbish removal (damn former housemates leaving crap) and minor repairs.

So, a result for us, the landlord stormed out after the verdict. The landlord has threatened further claims though, but I think we've covered everything already.

In other news, Left 4 Dead is awesome.

Aye, there were some circumstances as to why stuff was left, but they did leave moving out til the last minute.

Mind you, the charges the Landlord was claiming for were ridiculous! £50 to clean cobwebs?! What helped us was the evidence that the Landlord produced. Half of the 'receipts' for work done were actually invoices from a company he uses, that hires workers for him. No receipts from the workers themselves, just this middle company. That his wife runs.

Hello Ancrenne :)
Dok, he was a bully, trying to gouge money out of us with immediate threats of court action unless we paid within 14 days. He didn't even produce a breakdown of costs, or receipts, in his first demand. He also went to my friend's place of work and threw a fit at him.

We were determined to fight the case to the death if necessary, and we've since heard it may not be the first time he's acted in this way.

To summarise, he's a prime fillet of cunt.

that would certainly make my job a hell of a lot easier - but also more confusing.

As for the examples they showed - The Parents Association - NO FUCKING APOSTROPHE, it is an association of parents. The Parents belong to the association, not the other way round (grammatically speaking of course)

There has been a lot of discussion recently about the merits of punctuation, grammar and spelling.

Obviously I am all for keeping the apostrophe! There are pretty clear cut rules about using them, yes sometimes there are grey areas (as with most of English) but removing it altogether seems a somewhat backwards step.

Don't get me started on TxtSpk either.

There was an article in the paper I was reading yesterday about this, they did a big test of lots of people and the results were appalling!

The worst one I've seen was in my local, the old manager made a sign for the "Toilet's". After having a go at him about it repeatedly I ended up attacking it with a marker pen to obliterate the offending apostrophe so it now reads "Toilet s" a bit better but still not ideal!

It is an association of parents - therefore surely the association belongs to the parents not the other way round?

If it was a single parent running it (unlikely cos I don't think you can have an association of one person) it would be parent's association. Multiple parents gives you parents' association.

That's my understanding of it anyway... I agree with KGB!

Parents Association - this is an association of parents of which they are members. They belong to the association, so therefore, the apostrophe is not really needed.

I sat behind Kilroy at a production of Romeo and Juliet in Stratford on Avon.
He was with 2 women (dirty bastard) and had a chocolate ice cream in the interval.

As the lights went down for the play to start (for the record, it was the worst play I've ever seen in Stratford, we thought they were taking the piss at first), my Mum whispered to me
"You've been shafted, I've been Kilroy".
