Yes, but I didn't use such marks :-) Now there's thread drift for you...

No, but I suppose it could. It's not so dramatic as "What! Did he buy the wife" though. My favourite example is still "I like cooking my children and missing out commas" which I first saw posted here many years ago. -- Andy |

It can be fun but I'm always careful about punctuation. I have a lot of chuckles at others' expenses though :-) Now, do you know what he bought for his wife's 60th? Mary |

"Homer2911" wrote in message ps.com... Mary Fisher wrote: Just wondering ... Mary - A ride over Shropshire in a hot air baloon - no filthy jokes please! REALLY? She was chuffed. I bet she was! I bought a flying lesson in a Tiger Moth for Spouse once, because of a suggestion on this group, it was fabulous! Last year I organised a day's one-to-one flint knapping course, another year whale watching at midnight on his birthday (the summer solstice) in Iceland. Such unusual things are far more memorable and enjoyable at the time than a box of chocolates! They take more thinking about and planning but wotthehell. Well done :-) Mary |

You mean she drove a digger? Or have I misunderstood something ... it happens. Our neighbour (a builder) has hired a little digger, I can see him using it as I type. I WANT ONE! Mary |

No, she drove a digger...but a proper big (ish) one. See: http://www.diggerland.com (there is a lot of other stuff, but the second little picture from the left gives you an idea of the size). The theme park where five year olds can drive dumper trucks, etc. is also very good - they have three, around the country. -- The information contained in this post is copyright the poster, and specifically may not be published in, or used by Avenue Supplies, http://avenuesupplies.co.uk |

I might pursue it - when Spouse can sit on a hard seat and be jiggled :-) Thanks. And I'm jealous! I never missed the Dancing JCBs at the Royal Show. I think I might have a word with Jitu (the neighbour). Mary |
