    Wake up and smell the coffee.
    Put it down and see if the cat licks it up.

    It's coming home

    What does that even mean? What is it's story? Where has it been? Did it have a good time and is being forced home against its will? Did it wear sun block? Will it sulk and sit in its room listening to thrash metal? Is it migratory and is this just a brief stop off to feed up?

    So from now on your answer will be ‘Shame’. And walk away. 

    My gripe today, not one word but several,  I started to read a book set in Nazi occupied Norway set in 1944,  so many Americanisms I couldn’t stand it anymore, will not be reading the sequel,   Did they really say Guys, Honey,  go see, done fighting, gotten,  at that time set.   There were no Americans in Norway at that time. 
    I find this American slang very annoying.

    When I leave, do you mind if I have the house and all of our money?

    Not me . It's a question for him. No would be a good answer, but you need to record it @pansyface

    You need that 'no' signed in blood (DNA tested) and in triplicate to be legal I'm afraid.

    It might put manners on him, though.

    A true curmudgeon. Something to which we in CC can only aspire. . Have I done that split infinitive thing? I hope so!
