potentially [penny lope] I'm sure there's nothing wrong with you - after all you found this site all by yourself! Of course I'm sure there are many who would be willing to offer second opioions.
, malodouross, [Rosie] You are, as usual, right. Quite apart from the two non-capitalised "i's" and the mis-spelling. But I'm only sorry that at 21 he's only tallied 20 conquests. By then I'm sure I'd had far more. Perhaps he has acne. Perhaps its Marc in disguise!
and (Snodders) Too kind. :-) Poor Marc! His only failure is scansion whereas I suspect matey-boy, far from having had a score, has yet to score at all, and is a past master at the lonely art.
festering [Rosie & Snodgrass] Many thanks for your kind concern regarding my love life, I can assure you it is quite all right! Regarding scansion: Many a time it is far better to play on just by pacing a previous line trying to create an 'almost' limerick instead of chopping its tail off without any mercy, according to my humble opinion ;-)
sometimes more or less obligatory. I seem to have startted something back there. It is only too true that modern 'youf' do not have quite the grip of grammar that we older types do. Just try asking one what "precis" is or, perhaps, ask them about clause analysis.
lead Equally oblig, or there abouts and may I apologise foir not adding a comment after my last entry. It seems that this stanza requires comment for completeness. I will take myself outside and beat myself with twigs and don a hair shirt immediately
Undertakers just a thought. Why not start the new sentence with the last word from the previous. It may work. [Rosie] I wonder if Jack comes from Newark (Anag)
to (Marc) At my age (61) the mark is set fairly low. Just above "simmer". :-). (Snodders) Certainly could do, or from a little village between Chester and Wrexham, called Rosset.
really (Marc) I used to be weather forecaster. I therefore have, in contemporary gobbledygook, a "transferable skill" which means I know everything that's going to happen. (in the next 6 hrs). :-)
ability It's OK, K.C., your name says it all. ;-) I've ignored pelgis' entry as it's not in bold and, though I may be having a dumb day, I can't make sense of it.
of (Moriarty) Glad you cleared that up. Hurn is the spelling for Bournemouth Airport, certainly, but does anyone really know how Lootenant Hirn-Hearn, the SS Herne-Hyrn and the Hurne-Hern Islands were spelt? I don't, and I heard the whole thing live first time round, on the wireless, in the fifties. The whole word is really just a Yank-mimicking snarl, anyway.
