Blinded!

[JRCT]

In the 50 yard journey from my desk to the gents, to grab a coffee and back to my desk I managed to somehow drop my glasses.

I've just retraced my steps about 4 times before, thankfully, finding them in amongst some bags of popcorn in the coffee shop.

I can't read a thing without them and I would have had to have gone home early. Felt like a schoolboy pretending to be ill so he can get off PE.

I've got about 5 pairs of glasses at home. Maybe I'll sell 2 pairs to the Ltd, just in case this happens again.

I leave a couple of disposable contact lenses lying around just in case.

I'd sell all five to the company.

The leave a spare pair on your electric bike and you'll be sorted.

You think the comma makes it all better?

Comma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The comma is used in many contexts and languages, mainly for separating parts of a sentence such as clauses, and items in lists, particularly when there are three or more items listed.

So you just said you went to the gents to grab a coffee. The comma just makes the coffee an adjunct.



You wanted to use semi colon. Yes, yes. I nice semi colon would have done you there.

I used it to separate 3 items in my list of destinations. The gents, (the coffee shop) to get a coffee and my desk.

Let's not mention semis and colons in the same conversation as the gents.

To seperate 3 items you need 2 commas
