I was banned a long time ago from doing any gardening. At best I’m allowed to help, but since the time I was tasked with cutting the hedges I’ve not been allowed anywhere near.greenmark wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 10:58 pmhow odd. Andy was my hangover cure quite often. Something sensible to focus on, and avoid having to venture into the garden to trim, strim, mow etc. But it only lasted until 10:00 am, sadly.jamesg46 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 10:52 pmUsually nursing a hangover while continually peeling my fore skin from the boxers.greenmark wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 10:18 pm
I'm an English linguistic pedant. Anyone should feel free to correct any of my grammatical or English language errors.
I should also admit I have no second language skills whatsoever. This may explain my obsession with correct English.
Edit: How can you not know who Andrew Marr is? What do you do on a Sunday morning between 9:00 and 10:00?
Oh Gawd, I suddenly feel so old.
Andrew Marr leaving the BBC
Good job. But seriously, he's got Sajid Javid on Sunday. I just love the way he puts the questions we all want answered, and rudely interupts any attempt to string out the answer with waffle. It's so illuminating about the public presentation of politics. But I'm probably a bit weird in this respect.jamesg46 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 11:02 pmI was banned a long time ago from doing any gardening.

I was wondering about that actually. I went with hoisted as it is the past participle. And I was referring to a past event.
I'm beginning to think I've stirred up a hornet's nest of linguistic pedants.
But I like that.
No offence is intended on my part and I accept language is organic and evolves all the time.
Didn’t you have a meme for this?.
Grammar Nazis are the least of this threads problems
Sobering to be described as a Nazi. That's the worst insult I've ever received.
Top quality offensiveness.
To be fair, there are far worse things than being called a nazi Like being called a grammar nazi!
Should probably put this in the dadjoke thread but here's a fun little fact!
