Me too. Come to think of it, Me Too pretty much describes the whole poem.

If you think Ozymandias is long (14 lines - it’s a sonnet), then don’t attempt The Bride of Abydos (1204 lines - 339 of which is a single speech).
I’ve always pronounced Percy as rhyming with mercy. Don’t know of any major variants. I did have a teacher once with the surname Persse, but this was pronounced “purse”, at least to his face.

Feels. My irl name is unusual, very old fashioned and difficult to spell. So I’ve used a contracted form all my life. When someone calls me by my full name, I know they’re cross with me.

Probably, but they can wait.

A question that’s been bothering me over the weekend. Have been utterly stumped by it, so asking here if anyone has clarification to offer.
question
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?
I’ve been trying to figure how many kilos/grammes per metre but if you want to answer in pounds shillings and ounces that’s fine with me.

Keep it professional mate. Feel your pain though. I’ve had two people (so far) wanting to know if we have signed copies of documents that we drew up and sent to their previous accountant over 15 years ago. We sent them unsigned and have had nothing further to do with them once they’ve bought the documents. Kill me now. Better idea - kill THEM now.

I think this is called “stripping” laundry - has to be done once in a while to remove soap residue. Extends the life of the garments/linens and does not harm them.

Just went outside on this glorious day for a break - and met a bloke walking his new golden retriever puppy. 16 weeks old and all paws and ears and goodwill to all mankind. Made my day.

Piano is a bugger to learn once past 7 years old, as it requires major training of fingers to operate independently. Same for violin apparently. The two instruments hardest to learn past childhood.

Magpies. Murder chickens are cassowaries, hyper chickens are emus, LGBTQA+ chickens are eastern rosellas, and bin chickens - well you know that one.
