Soz. I think I'll be out with the family for my birthday that weekend.
Also, is there anyone else who now has to double or even triple check every time they write meet/meat?
I don't have to write meet/meat that often, but I was thinking about something similar the other day. The other night, the grammar pedant gremlin that occasionally crosses my mind was working overtime while I read some Facebook posts. Due to the proliferation of bad uses of their, there and they're, I have to double check that I've read them correctly and then double check that which they should be.
This means that their bad grammar also causes me to lose a few seconds of time in thought about what I'm reading. That requires extra brain power, which in turn warrants more energy, which means I need to eat more food to compensate. I have to buy food, so therefore, people's bad grammar is costing me money.
Twats.
Just write carcass, flesh, dead animal, etc for the shit some people eat and then you've got no confusion.
We wish you could be too!
Tickets & hotel booked: Metropolitan meat, here we come!
My attendance at this has become slightly complicated. The Boy has to go to hospital on the same day for an op (nothing too serious, tonsils and adenoids, but it's an overnight job). The hospital's in London anyway and Tina will stay overnight with him, so I should be able to come along at some point. I'm just not sure of the timings yet.
that was meant to be to everybody. I'm not expecting Peter to be responsible for anything in my post.
