It maybe utter agony not knowing that AGO is the acronym for Art Gallery of Ontario. But knowing it doesn't make you any better.
Better an acronym you can say than some of those ridiculous 3-letter clusters of initials with which we are plagued. Get the CEO on MSN and tell him the MDF for the NHS is coming by HRV.
HRV devices are really rather naughty. Respectable and refined ladies of the provinces are not supposed to mention them in polite company.
Company fraud is what Conrad Black is in court in Chicago for. It couldn't happen to a nicer fellow.
"Fellow comrade workers, what can I say?" as Sir Leonard Hutton once said to the the close in ring of 8 close catchers on a green seamer. "Why do you want to put me out of a job?"
Job descriptions often vary a great deal from what people actually do.
As a personnel officer I was always fascinated by the final requirement on every job description, which was 'other duties as required'.
Required reading for all is said to be the Bible. However, it is no longer fashionable to read the King James Version which is couched in resonant and simple language.
languages can be vexing . what sounds alike in different languages may actually have completely different meanings .
Meanings even within our own language change frequently. Who would think that nice meant silly or that silly meant holy?
Holy hobgoblins, Batman! Robin's life was full of surprises.
Surprises for birthdays, a difficult thing to arrange and perhaps, not really what people like. It's more fun to anticipate.
anticipate that there will be sunshine tomorrow . even if it rains tomorrow you'll have avoided thinking about it in advance .
Advance bookings are a good policy. I once failed to follow that advice and you wouldn't believe what I ended up with.
With many mysteries in life, it is wiser not to dig too deeply. In a case such as this I will not delve at all.
All good things must come to an end; but it's a long road which has no turning- and every cloud has a silver lining. I think you'll agree, in life, when one door closes, another opens.
Opens are quite commonplace these days; there's the British Open, which is played every year in the summer, although on different courses depending on what the Tourist Industry have expended their "efforts" upon, and there's the American Open which is similar really, and there's the Australian Open and there lots of others so I won't go on as it will cause this sentence to get too long for the average A2Ker's attention span which we all know not to be anything out of the ordinary. Almost every reasonably well working country has Opens and by no stretch of the imagination are they restricted to golf as Lezzles will confirm if you ask her.
Her indoors might make the same mistake: there is no competition called "The British Open" although it is often referred to as such by ignorant commentators. The Open Golf Championship, held within these shores, is the original, the fountainhead, the real McCoy.
McCoy is the name of a tight-fisted Scottish person I used to know who looked when walking as if he was heading into a gale of horizontal hail. But his wife's cousin was living with a chap who won the prize for best marrow at the Glossop Allotment Annual Show so he had something going for him.
"him" we came to see , but instead we only got to see "her" . we payed all that money and never saw him - not even for a minute !
Minute particles of matter can often be a bit off-putting. I read somewhere that a particle of dust entering the solar system without any advanced planning could, theoretically, upset the gravitational balance and cause a random happening which most insurance policies have a clause specifically exempting the party of the second part from any liabilities.
