@susie_dent Spare a thought for the signwriter at the Rose & Crown after the publican asked for more space between the Rose & & & & & Crown.

In Old English, the ampersand, '&', was considered the 27th letter of the alphabet. Children reciting the alphabet in school would chant 'per se', Latin for 'by itself', after letters that were words in themselves: 'A per se A, I per se I', etc, and also '& per se &'. This 'and per se and' eventually became mangled to 'ampersand'. The symbol & was Roman shorthand for 'et', 'and'.

In another decade we’ll have either decided it’s important to support reporters or we’ll all be force fed tripe from the pretend hyper successful creatures who dominate social channels.

Grew up with the LA Times. Became a journalist myself. My toddler son used to go out and get the newspaper for grandpa every morning when we visited home. Seeing all these peers cut loose from my hometown paper really cuts deep.

FWIW, the kids of every single family in our elite coastal heathen circle in northern Va play at least one instrument, while most of us parents played zero growing up. But yes, we’ve turned our backs on religion and that’s why there are no pianos anymore.

Making people poorer to bring down inflation is a bit like destroying a village to save it

@_captainscience Okay, I get why you would relate to one of those similes. But the other.... I mean why would you even try?

Just put fleece bags on my citrus trees. Like trying to put a condom on a very small cactus. Or tights on after swimming.

@mercoglianos If they can cantilever the engine and accommodation block from the bow section without any signs hogging, that looks like a well-built ship.

I just had a brief conversation with a man that ended like this: Me: What is it that you do? Him: I'm an engineer Me: Ohhhhh, that makes a lot of sense. Do you know about Dunning and Kruger? Him: No, what about them? Me: Look them up. Apparently there are mushrooms that heal..

@ShipBrief When I were a lad using a full stop in place of a comma was discouraged. I'd settle for an ellipsis but this is just wrong. I despair at the quality of today's public schools.
