Roadside memorial bouquets

Isn't that extinct...?

I don't like these expressions of grief being placed at the site of an accident. There are more appropriate places to place them. I have seen 'shrines' placed locally which consist of flowers, ribbons, cards, photographs, balloons, teddy-bears and other toys.

It's not just friends and family who place these items either.

Nfk IMHO people who say they're thick rarely are whereas those who try to flaunt their intellectual capacity are usually lacking in something! However back to the story... It's all to do with misunderstanding the written word. In the case of Eats, Shoots and Leaves it's due to poor punctuation. I'm saying no more now in case I exacerbate the situation except that I felt like that panda.
I am probably an endanger species now Anno

Excuse me Knowsley while I just wander from the thread a minute.

Aka I get why you are a panda now (the story of panda in cafe). But, I thought it was going to be an explanation of your name which someone (you know who - shush!) seems to find slightly questionable.

(ignore this if you prefer)

As you were, thread.

Wasn't I polite there?! [halo]

JO don't let it bother you, I don't but then I'm not in the least paranoid Pandas are very laid back creatures

PS you were very polite

Knowsley I think when people think the victim is a baby then more than just friends and family will feel sad.

Off to work

Aha - gotcha Aka with you now! Enjoy work.

Aka I thought you had mascara issues, thank goodness you posted that link. It's just punctuation...

I still am not clear. I thought it meant that Aka was Lynne Truss in her other life. And why did you write that weird book about Tennyson if you are her? I'm struggling with it at the moment.

I come from Liverpool and it wasn't always steeped in its own victim hood . There are daft people there as much as anywhere but they're more like John Bishop. Roger mcGough and Brian Patten and Simon Rattle are Liverpudlians too.
