Ah yes. reminds me of the old "had" v "had had" debate, as illustrated by the following grammatically correct, but sadly unpunctuated sentence featuring the word "had" used eleven times consecutively;
"James while John had had had had had had had had had had had the teacher's approval" *
* The sentence refers to two students, James and John, who are asked by an English teacher to describe a man who had suffered from a cold in the past. John writes "The man had a cold", which the teacher marks incorrect, while James writes the correct "The man had had a cold". James's answer, being more grammatical, earned the teacher's approval.
The sentence is easier to understand with added punctuation and emphasis:
James, while John had had "had," had had "had had"; "had had" had had the approval of the teacher

I vote Mr Rumply Thumply - at least he makes no pretense of being anything other than a Labrador and better by far than the attack dogs of the far right. |

I recall we won the house points competition that term - I got a bag of Revels. I suppose its too late to go back and confess now, as Mrs Craig is almost certainly dead, and I've eaten the Revels |

Quiet n here, apart from Muffrat confessing to killing one of his teachers. If law enforcement is watching, I've only confessed to one. The four others still unaccounted for were definitely non-fault accidents. |

Air-Con will be deployed today. This decision will be based partly on 'The Lad's' eloquent summation of the weather.
"Farking roastin', innit."
I didn't tell him I had air-con, as I am a thoughtful neighbour.
Also, was supposed to tinker with the car today. I've sacked that idea right off.

Hello. Off today/tomorrow with the child as school holidays. Been to the pitch at the child's school for "tennis"
There were boys from the child's class with a toolkit attempting to make a bogey. We watched one wee guy lug a massive toolkit from his house.
They have a golf trolley from somewhere they're taking the wheels off. Somebody's da is going to be unhappy at the weekend when he goes to play gowf.

What is the essence of the header? Is it saying that Chumbles had a bad night because he was visited by a female orc? Or is it saying that Chumbles somehow became like a female orc? A transformation of appearance due to lack of sleep, but also a radical emasculation. What's the message here Chumbles ? What's going on? |

Hello. Off today/tomorrow with the child as school holidays. Been to the pitch at the child's school for "tennis" There were boys from the child's class with a toolkit attempting to make a bogey. We watched one wee guy lug a massive toolkit from his house. Down Sarf it only takes a summer cold... We used to get to class before the teacher and stuff bits of of blotting paper up our noses, put them on the end of a ruler and and flick them onto the ceiling. When they dried out they fell like slimy green droplets of rain at intervals throughout the lesson... The teacher couldn't understand why we had become so attentive, apparently hanging on his every word until he finally looked up to see the few remaining 'droppers'. Detentions for a month for the entire class, but it was worth it! |

Man calls on Tesco to change wipe packaging after burning his bum - Plymouth Live. "I've come through the worst of it now - I had to use Sudocrem down there for a week"
A man is calling on Tesco to change the packaging of its toilet cleaning wipes - after he was left with "burning pain" when he mistakenly used them as loo roll for days. Top twat, Leon Gleed, 29, developed soreness around his rear end and was confused - until he suddenly realised he'd been using anti bacterial toilet cleaner wipes.
