I've seen this as a sign on the door of a Secondary School English classroom. Good isn't it.

Hi Jonathan,

I tried to send you some stuff but you comedy MS Exchange system rejected the mail with not error code. I'm guessing it couldn't handle the size of the attachment. So I have sent you an invitzation to Google Mail. Set yourself up an account and email me your address and I will send the stuff there.

There's so much more to the language - what's your point?.

Hi Anonymous,

This isn't about language - it is about perception, consciousness, vision and cognitive response

In this case, language is merely a medium to show how our learned expectations don't necessarily match the facts.

How to remove a security ink tag

Last Monday I was flying to Scotland for a few days to have a chat with a few of our customers up there. I thought I would show them due respect so on Sunday afternoon I popped into Marks and Spencer and bought a new suit. When I got home I set to making our Sunday roast dinner so didn't think about the whistle until about eleven that night when I went to pack. To my annoyance I found this bad boy attached to the arm.

Remove a security tag redux

A month or so ago I posted a story about how I was forced to remove a security ink tag from a suit I had bought. You can read all about it by clicking here.

Some top friends of ours bought us this lovely dress for our new born daughter Lucy A quick look under the hem and there it is - our friend the security tag. Aside from the fact that this device is neither green nor from Marks and Spencers, it is apparent that it looks different from the ink tag I documented in the previous story. However, even though it is white and round rather than green and oblong, a quick look at the back shows that it is fundamentally the same. A bigger front piece that holds the "payload" and a pin clicking it onto the garment with some sort of clutch arrangement hidden in the middle somewhere holding the two parts together. Sadly there is n...
