PICK ME UP

Sunday, May 13th, 2007 Posted in Amusing Events | No Comments »

Mark went into Putney to buy a protractor for a project he is working on. The stationery shop, however, was closing down and was consequently discounting most items. Individual protractors were not available but instead there was a four-piece geometry ...

THIS WEBSITE IS FULL OF CRAP

Sunday, April 1st, 2007 Posted in Amusing Events, Links | No Comments »

LOST IN TRANSLATION

Monday, February 19th, 2007 Posted in Amusing Events | No Comments »

I lived in France for a year as part of my degree. It was Brest, in Brittany (the North West tip of France for the less geographically-minded [the top left hand corner for the mentally inept]) and it was ...

GRAMMAR CONSULTANT

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007 Posted in Amusing Events | 2 Comments »

It's a long standing joke that I am rather anal about spelling and grammar. And rightly so, in my eyes, the English language is there for a reason, we should learn it and we should respect it. This ...
