The Neverending "Conversation About Everything" Chain

Summer is coming!!! What a beautiful day it was today - the light slanting in through the window, the daffodils nodding in their pots outside-it feels as if life is beginning anew.

"Anew" is a very difficult word to begin a sentence with IMHAHO. Anybody expecting someone to attempt such a difficult task after being presented with an easy starter like "summer" is self-evidently a member of the fundamentalist awkward squad.

'Squad' is also a very difficult word to begin a sentence with IMHAHO. One of my favorite shows when I was growing up was called 'The Mod Squad' , and featured three young, hip, undercover law enforcers.

Enforcers are required here to pull you people into line about your awkward starting words. Why not keep it simple and give the next person a sporting chance.

Enforcers, especially undercover ones, often operate in squads and use squad cars to get about. Squad cars are maintained by squads of mechanics to a high standard of efficiency.

Chance is a very important aspect of life. I often wonder what the chance is of an oncoming vehicle suddenly deviating from its path and ploughing into me and bringing my sojourn on this planet to a sudden and unwarranted end.

End of the road- end of the line- these are two idiomatic phrases that can connote or pertain to death. I prefer to go about my everyday activities without mentally tallying the odds of my demise, silly.

(I was gonna leave it with demise - but I didn't want Dutchy to get frustrated with me)

Silly, what a title to bestow upon that master of words, spendius. A typical case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Black is one of my favourite colours to wear. I always feel more sophisticated when I'm wearing it.

*Dutchy does your spellcheck program encourage you to use the British spelling? I'm just wondering if this a2k spelling program is programmed for British spelling because I'm in Britain, or if it would be different if I were typing in America.
I don't know why - but I find that sort of interesting and actually sort of helpful to me in adapting my spelling while I'm living here.

The word is 'IT'.

It is a real attraction for me when I see a woman wearing black. There is something about that colour that stirs and fascinates me.

Aidan I didn't know that a2k had a spelling program attached to it. I know down under we spell certain words different to the US. eg. we write colour as you write color, the same with realise and realize.

Me? I saw a man in a nice dark suit with a crisp white shirt yesterday and though I wasn't exactly stirred or fascinated- I thought he looked very nice.

*Yeah, just in the past few days when I write my response, it underlines all my american spellings in red and then that underline goes away if I change the american spelling to the british spelling. As I said, I find it helpful - I'm just wondering if in America - it would accept the American spelling.

the word is 'nice'

Nice clothes make a woman look smart. Black underwear makes her fascinating and attractive.

* Just my personal opinion Aidan

Attractive attributes in women vary widely around the world. Plate lips, neck extension rings, tiny feet, flat noses and large bottoms are just a few of the culturally determined characteristics which are employed to lure the male into domestic bliss.

Bliss is what I felt today as I ate my plummy crumble tart. I also got a good laugh out of it when my friend innocently asked the waitress, 'What is plumy cruble tart?' because whoever wrote the dessert board obviously found spelling somewhat troublesome.

Troublesome expressions in the English language often seem wilfully at odds with logic and common sense. This is a language where if you can run fast you are moving swiftly, but if you are stuck fast you are not moving at all!

All languages probably have little glitches and discrepancies. But I bet only English has "cleave", which means both "to sunder" and "to join".

Join the club spikie. We are all all completely off our marbles.

Marbles is a game that is more than 3000 years old. Clay marbles have been found in ancient Egyptian tombs.

Tombs are where they place the corpses of people who have carked it. Whether their souls have flown off to paradise, as some people say, I am unable to be certain about.

About now, there are 6 billion people all over the world, each engaged in their own human concerns and pursuits. I wish I hadn't mentioned it now, it all gets too big.
