In English Robyn read something about some guy "being off to polish his sword in preparation." She started giggling and then had to explain to the class what she saw in the text.

Laughing out loud Laughing out loud

Who's up for polishing the pork sword?

Blimey, Aaron, you've started early.

Oh, you have no idea. :)

You weren't alone and bored at 3pm again, were you?

Possibly...

The local paper here in Greenwich seems to be 40% bed adverts, 40% house sales/lettings adverts, 15% other adverts, small ads etc, and the final 5% for actual articles. Annoying.

:| Why would you work that out? I'm hoping it was just a guestimate?

Free papers usually work on a quota of 15-25% editorial, including advertising features.

TRUFAX.

And trust me, it's been like that for a very long time. At least, let's say, 160 years.

When you close your eyes at night, do you see row upon row of badly-set type, Finck?

Yes. And I can recite some of the recurring adverts, especially those about crazy panaceas. It reads a bit like a cross between my spam filter report mail and the General, General Thread.

I expect so, yes. It's not been the case where I've previously lived though.

That's such an ace clip. Especially the end where it's face is right up to the camera.
