Not much into jam but I do like a decent marmalade and Aldi's finest fits the bill.

Had a space and kidney pie for tea last night.
It was like a steak and kidney pie, only meteor.

My mate went to the Climbing Centre the other day & found that in a cost cutting exercise, the Council had removed most of the grips on the wall.
He said, “Typical, you just couldn't make it up.”

The holidays are here cried Dick and Dora, so we can relax and not worry too much about our grammar, syntax, puns, spoonerisms, alliteration, speling, misused homonyms/homophones, misspellings, improperly placed commas, run-on sentences, fragments, dangling modifiers, and so on.
Let it all hang out and concentrate on the humour. |

Always was a great fan of Keith Waterhouse. Recommend all to read (except YM who was educated down under) Waterhouse on Newspaper Style.

Hmmmmmmm!!!! Don't get me started! I seem to remember being taught to use "Inverted Commas" to enclose speech; these days - may be a transatlantic thing, they seem to be called "Quote marks"! Have you just invented "a single inverted comma"? My journalist friend once wrote a column on the "aberrant apostrophe" in the regional newspaper.

A matter of interpretation.

Took a while but then it clicked, the car salesman is polishing up his Rwandeese. Clever little chap.

The next sign out of sight around the bend probably says "No Road."

Haven't come across Waterhouse but I am sure that half the population down here in Oz could benefit. I was brought up on the Australian Government Style Manual for Authors and Printers which covered pretty much everything in relation to the written/printed word. The abbreviated version of which was known colloquially as Tits for Typists. It's an indictment on our education system that so many don't know the difference between the possessive and the plural with apostrophes and when it is pointed out to them they either don't care or they take offence and ignore it anyway. I have a friend who has an MA from Melbourne Uni and who is currently doing a PhD; he falls in this group.

Apostrophes are demon commas from hell who have risen above their place for no other reason than to spread confusion and discontent.
I shoot them on sight's ....

Reminds of that old joke of someone who got fired from the Good Samaritans suicide line. He took 43 calls and ALL of them committed suicide!!
This was made worse by the fact that four of the calls were wrong numbers !!!
