Haters gonna hate. Potatoes gonna potate. Or something. Probably.

Columba - apparently the yoof of today find full stops threatening and aggressive in text messages. It was on the What Do You Know Today thread.

[I read that in the papers today, about full stops being regarded as aggressive. I know this is not the thread for this but I'd be obliged if a young person could explain this to me as I really don't understand.]

I may need to break my promise as been the day from hell at work. I had a brief break for a run and eating my team before logging back on.

Options:

1) I keep you waiting til tomorrow night (assuming work is less bad)
2) You get my current choice but its hardback £11.92 or kindle £7.99 or free if you can get in a library. Its also free on audible !
