    Good point, thanks.

      Indeed. It is semantically hopeless.

      "Anyone else is angry today?"

      This seemingly postulates that the author of this sentence is not angry, but feels that anyone else could or indeed should be angry, but the author is not sure of this statement, so feels it necessary to append a question mark.

      You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

        im mad for a number of reasons for the past 8 weeks now. no new contracts, end clients screwing me about as with agents, then a legal dispute between agencies who want me for a role because i have everything they want (not trying to "big" myself but just being honest the way they say it and know what I have/don't have) but then they found out, they all have the same end client....so i lost out in the end grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

        Then today, had to take a contract (which probably would terminate for no reason) with less pay (much less) then had one of the agencies ring me to say that the end client wants me (the one who were caught up in this legal dispute) and offering me twice as much....thought great but couldn't accept it because.....i already accepted the other contract with less pay madmadmad

          And here, in the midst of the CUK clearing, we see two of nature's most outstanding evolutionary cul-de-sacs, facing each other in an extraordinary mating ritual...

          Exactly how they are to copulate is, as yet, unknown to science. Remarkably, it seems unclear even to these specimens themselves, who is the female...

                    I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that a high post count is now a bad thing.

                    Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
