I mentioned elsewhere that I often see the Virgin Speed Update thread as Virgin Speed Dating.

I also find it difficult to look at this placard without reading it as Marital Arts.

I've just seen the new Pure Gym sign for the first time and, obscured by the winter trees, it appeared to say Purge 'Em.

Very often I also read martial arts as marital arts. There may be something in that as it seems quite an art staying married these days.

Marvellous moment on RTÉ telly tonight, when a chat-show host declared a poor woman to be "a great embarrassment" - when he meant "ambassador"...

When going past the gliding club at Ladford Fields I often look at the sign and think of Gilding Club and, in my minds eye, picture loads of old folk with small hammers and rolls of gold leaf.
Dunno why, I just do.
