i don't actually give a flying **** about apostrophes and probably get them 'wrong' all the time.

Wish I was as laid back as you - problem is I really hate these know-alls on the forum who lecture the rest of us, especially when they are talking through their *****

Someone once said something to the effect of:
"I can't love a man who knows only one way of spelling a word"

The apostrophe
Seems to me
To be a pain in the arse
Unless you know
Where it should go
You're deemed to have no class.

Have a happy day everyone!

The football stadiums are

St James' Park, Newcastle
St James Park, Exeter

I once had that question in a local quiz. I don't think I got it right!

haha Busby, made me smile.

"since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you.....

and kisses are a better fate
then wisdom
lady I swear by all the flowers."

whose punctuation is how he likes it.

Hi Rosalind

When you're smiling
When you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you.

Keep smiling, some things just aren't worth bothering about ;-)
