The number of people who have contacted me here and on other boards to tell me they no longer post or do so rarely is far greater than the few who make this place toxic.

You must be so proud Smiles - not on paborn’s Ignore list but what you write is “never worth the bother”. I’m worried about our resident snowflake; like many Americans he is perhaps in need of a companion animal. What would be the ideal low-cost, low-maintenance companion for him? Goldfish? Not tactile enough. Budgie? Perhaps Hedda’s Monica has a flock of descendants from which paborn could choose. But then it struck me - what’s tactile, low-maintenance and low-cost and can travel everywhere with him? It’s obvious - crabs

Sorry, I can't help it, but

Do you parboil it?

Ah, you're thinking of Île Flottante which are not parboiled but poached. Easy mistake.

Lay is a transitive verb and requires an object.

and here I was thinking a transitive was someone in a dress and bad wig lip-syncing torchsongs and it is usually I who object and it is definitely no lie that I have no desire to lay them - and as for getting it up with fleas ...

where is my copy of Fowler's Use and Abuse when I need it most
