When I write my my fascinating pipeline reports I always try and sneak a 'humorous' word in. The ultimate proof reader of these reports is a very old friend and this just amuses me... you have to make what you can of these jobs. The word 'twice' seems OK, but whenever I use 'thrice' he over-rules me and changes it to 'three times'. Why is 'twice' acceptable but not 'thrice'? I still try and sneak it in when he's over-worked and occasionally get one through. Simple things and all that.

Shutree was exactly as I expected... as I think most people are. I think it's unusual to have an 'online persona' that isn't as you are in real life. Maybe some become bolder 'online' but I would happily meet up with anyone on TD, apart from maybe some of those Brittles... if the likes of Reg Dingle, Chitty, Hal or MalmoMike came round I would certainly hide the Ya Dong. In the case of Chitty I would probably hide the gardener as well.
