pedant in me says phenomenon. phenomena is plural. ??

Oi, that's my job being pedantic!

There should be a comma as shown:

Oi, that's my job, being pedantic!

Fair comment; can't argue with that. ?

Only cos I've had a couple of strong IPAs though!

 

[telectrix]

at least you didn'y say IPA's. ?

A few hours ago I was eyeing the few bottles of Brewdog Mr President I have left and trying to weigh up the balance between drinking one there and then or hoarding it for a more auspicious occasion on account of the (£&%%'_*$&#!s having stopped making it ?

My latest delivery:

Spooky.

In the end I decided against the Mr President and had one of these instead

Quite nice, but not really hoppy enough for my taste.

And talking of hoppy - how come there was no rabbit in my shipment?

How strange!

I gave the Freedom 7.5 out of 10.

The rabbit likes a beer also. Nothing too fruity though.

I think this thread went off tangent about #20....

it’s a new record. Most of them veer off another 6 or 7?

The signs were there by post #10.

I thought, post #10 offered, an incisive. and. informative's opinion, relative, to the discussion. admittedly, the last IPA was a bit strong. and citrusy, obviously.

Punctuation check - all good.

No, It's not. a comma after "thought" and "offered";
full stops after "incisive" & "and"; comma after "relative";

Ah - I noticed as I was rinsing out the can earlier,that I'd drunk Freedom Lager, not Pale Ale - very similar can.

I find it depends on what food it's gloing with. If it is.

Or the weather - a good Kriek on a hot summer's day, glorious.

I’ve never seen blue outlets but I’m going to say it’s the material inside the outlet which makes it a tamper proof receptacle

Have a zoom in closer MW. It's either corrosion or green goo.

back in the 60's some cables (in the uk anyway) had some plasticiser in the manufacturing mix. this eventually led to reactions with the copper, producing this green goo which leached out of the cable ends onto terminals and hence dripping out of outlets. a bit like the green on a church copper roof before us Scousers weigh it in.

I give up, I don’t have a clue what that is

Post #2 explained it, and it was your post, Tel..... don’t tell me you’ve forgotten already.
