A piece of Trout for Sunday breakfast, .

Off to read...

Thankyou for breakfast in Perugia, and coffee in a fifteenth century art gallery which I have to leave to go to ... Macclesfield.

Imagine having to paint so many saints for a living. I suppose they were the equivalent of our Becks, Victorias and Jordans. P'raps not Jordan.

(btw, good to see you back, and did I see an 'ok' to Babbacombe Lee buried in that gents smoking room stuff you and Pin do? I'm going to be late. It is good to have Trout on the menu again, Waz)

Ciao Mongague Trout, excellent read. Thank you

It's cool. You really are very good at these [conspicuous and obvious ploy to try and prevent Fishboy wandering off again].

Do you paint commissions?

I couldn't type "artisan" without thinking I'd borrowed way-too-heavily from Gorgon though.

Congratulations to you, Trout - 'The Last Pre-Raphaelite' has been selected by Underguide Miners to go into the <./>UnderGuide</.>

Congratulations again! Here is the UG version:

In a reckless moment, I moved a full stop. That was it.

Hey Trin, thanks for your input.

However, without meaning to appear an ingrate, I think you should move it back. It's part of a sentence contained within the "...": there is no clause outside the "..." to which the stop could relate.

You see, I knew I was being reckless.

Fixed!

(A system of punctuation with its own internal coherence that was clearly somewhat lost on me first thing this morning)

The rules of punctuation (such as they are) are not my forte: it doesn't even go in one ear. You see? I am dabbling with colons now, itself apparently an act to inspire seal boy. Club?

Rules schmules. Just as long as it's been discussed. Though 'polished' is now looking fraudulent.

Yes please, if you've a spare.

So fish-features thinks he's got an inspirational colon.

Figures, but I reckon I prefer the club.
