    Uh-oh.

    Probably nothing important, but it does make you nervous...

    Make sure you're on here at 3:10 to tell us all you're still employed. We do worry about you, you know.

    it's probably just my over active imagination. I've now sorted everything out with my employment problems,as in My boss wanted to keep me on and we've come to an agreement although I haven't signed anything. so My over active brain has popped up the idea that it was just a cover story and that the company is going down. very stupid really and as you said, it probably is nothing

    Hey, Ian, it pays to be paranoid. Who knows? Maybe your boss is trying to pull an "Enron" ???

    Nah - for it to be correct it must be singular, so it would have required an article.

    Sorry; I'm usually fine with dubious grammar, but I have a thing about apostrophes. For the record, though, I think it should have been:

    BTW - You were a bit harsh with that beetroot juice. My eyes are feckin' killing me.

    LOL, I was expecting the capitalisation, but I couldn't really do anything about it at that stage - claiming my house mate was called 'leather sofa' was the only thing I could think of to get out of that tricky predicament.

    Anyways, I had to use the beetroot juice as it's hard to find someone who's invisible! Still, you're the one dispensing the pain with aquatic creatures!

    PurpleDuncan,

    I wouldn't bother picking Ians grammer and spelling apart - you'll be quoting him all day!!

    Ian,

    What the company needs is more people like you to make it profitable again!

    I'm grinding my teeth down to tiny stumps because of you.

    My New Year's resolution was to stop grumbling about spelling and grammar in general and apostrophes (or "apostrophe's", if you prefer ) in particular. It wasn't especially long-lived.
