Either my council tax or my utility bills.

That's a bit harsh. When I say someone is envious as opposed to jealous, I am trying to convey a particular meaning. It doesn't bother me if someone uses the terms interchangeably as I can usually work out what they mean, but I do like my communication to be as clear as possible.

Well done on that semi-colon: really pushing my buttons!

Abberant apostrophes (and missing ones).

Sentences that miss out words for no reason: e.g. "A couple things" vs. "A couple of things".

Confusing envy and jealousy.

The above is a personal list; I don't get judgemental about others' grammar but I do cringe internally.

Well, I certainly told him!

I remember sitting in the bar of the Post Hotel, Lake Louise Village with a glass of Dalwhinnie, listening to the pianist play the Jurassic Park theme just to see if anyone would recognise it. I was overwhelmed by the realisation that I was living one of my dreams to visit Western Canada, one of the most beautiful places on Earth. I admit I cried.

Also, what a wonderful hotel! I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

I live in the Welsh Marches so water isn't an issue here either, although we have had a very dry Spring for England this year.

They have to catch me first.

It'll be mainly green waste; very little meat, if any.

It is split into 2 halves to make turning one side easier, and we'll mainly be composting green waste only so it may not need much stirring. At the end of the day, this is t'wife's area of expertise - I just build what she asks me to!

I'll be cutting down the mesh to half size. At the bottom is a load of soil and grass to encourage worms and stop everything falling put.

We don't have acres of land, and it's mainly for green waste, leaves, etc. Splitting it into 2 sections should make turning one side easier. We'll see!

 

Can also be used as a time-out zone for naughty toddlers.
