The society dedicated to preserving the “much-abused” apostrophe was recently shut down with its chairman conceding defeat. In fact it came to a "full stop"!
Used correctly it becomes "They're Carol's" giving a whole new meaning.
All this talk about the apostrophe reminds me of Keith Waterhouse who founded AAAA (Association for the Annihilation of the Aberrant Apostrophe).
I used to love reading his articles/books. An old school journo who was in Fleet St in the old days. Considering the amount he drank I was amazed he lived to 80.
I was never very good at rugby and never made a team. Your school rings a bell as does Merchant Taylor and St. George's (Harpenden). I was in the cross country team though!
I had some terrible news last night, my younger brother was ferreting about under the sink (behind the curtain) and found a pop bottle (with a 6d deposit) with what he thought was fizzy pop inside. Unfortunately for him it was actually a very expensive yacht varnish. After drinking it, he became ill and was rushed to hospital but even with all of the ER efforts, he sadly died. A hospital spokesman later said that it was an unfortunate accident and although he had a terrible end he had a superb finish!
My other younger brother went for a ferret under the sink and found some onions drying there - he ate one and soon became very ill - after being rushed to hospital it was found that he had not eaten an onion but actually a daffodil bulb. A hospital spokesman suggested that although he was very ill he would be out in the Spring
