And now it is. Malky, of all people you must remember to use the report thread facility which will ring an alarm bell and wake us poor mods up. :mrgreen:

Now back to the thread children. Is that a full stop or not? 8)

Actually Mod 4, I was just making a joke - not asking for anything to be moved. OK, as in Opportunity Kintyre was in another thread.

There's a Report Thread facility?!! :P :lol:

The one that annoys me is the Greengrocer's Apostrophe. :evil:

That's the one that gets me too! The mistakes are everywhere now - they should rename it The Supermarket's Apostrophe now though!

You all need help with your spelling, punctuation and pronunciation.

Now, how would you know about our pronunciation? :?

Incidentally, "Glaswegian" should have a capital "G"! :lol:
