Random notices #5

are you still going on about your ‘very large pencil’?

Pray, con­tinue..?

Andre — I think my ‘very large pen­cil’ has been worn down. I was press­ing too hard.

Angelalala — You might regret that. I’ll never stop now.

I blame Take That!

Very large pen­cil???? :)
Have we veered slightly off sub­ject here?
Or is this what you were talk­ing about Mr Unreliable?

Rachel — There was a topic to my com­ments once, but that’s long ago dis­ap­peared, I think.

Topic? Who needs a topic?

Well, you don’t like to brag, but… that’s a very big sign (with very large let­ter­ing) for such an appar­ently mod­est per­son. And there appears to be no space to fin­ish the thought anyhow.

… but you have re-invented the rules of punc­tu­ation and ban­ished cap­it­als forever?

I like to brag, but I won’t go into that.

La Fille — I don’t like to brag about the size of my sign. I am unfail­ingly mod­est. Really.

Ariel — I prom­ise my dis­pens­ing with punc­tu­ation and cap­it­als was only a tem­por­ary fail­ing, to illus­trate the point about how lower­case and mod­est I am. Nor­mal ser­vice is now resumed.

Cal­listo — Oh, please do go into that. Ful­some brag­ging is not only allowed but pos­it­ively encour­aged in my comments.

We’re allowed brag­ging? Well my enorm­ous cyl­indrical tower-block is big­ger than your enorm­ous cyl­indrical tower-block. Bet mine’ll stay up longer too.

Yes, but, er, my enorm­ous cyl­indrical tower-block has a high-speed lift to the top floor.

[I think that’s what’s called a double entendre at a tan­gent. Or something.]

I’ve seen your lift, Mr Wit­ness, but I shan’t lower the town by going into too much unsa­voury detail with phrases like ‘hand cranked’, no, not me.
