It's far, far worse (as disgusting habits go) than igniting a paper tube filled with shredded leaves, and doing that inhale/exhale thing, I assure you.

And as for talking whilst chewing gum, or - even worse - temporarily removing said gum from one's mouth to engage in kissing activity, and then replacing the substance in one's gob immediately after (and recommencing chewing), well...

Best keep that head of yours under that pillow, eh?

Alas, I'm incapable of jealousy.

This may be entirely due to possessing an enormous, solid gold ashtray, or something...

I think it's permissable to omit the accent aigu on café when the word is coupled with "internet." As with World Wide Web (as opposed to World-wide Web), all grammar conventions were suspended for words and phrases added to English (British or American) after 1990 or so.

Welcome back, friend. You were missed.

You're quite right.

Besides, I tried the multiple button presses and muttered intonations suggested for achieving the desired accent, and ended up turning all my gold back into lead.

I'm going back to bed now, wearing my "I am a crap alchemist with base metal bling" t-shirt without a hint of pride.

;o)

Good to be back.

...a very old American ditty:

The Gum Chewing Girl

The gum chewing girl
And the cud chewing cow
Are so alike yet different somehow
Ah yes, I see the difference now
It's the intelligent look
On the face of the cow

'Tis appreciated.

I tell you, if I'd known that one, throwaway (like a used piece of gum) line would be the one to trigger these comments? I'd have made it a separate post.

And turned the comments off.

Apparently one of the things the Queen holds against Kate Middleton's mum is the fact that she chewed gum all through William's passing out parade at Sandhurst....................... only the corgis are allowed to do that!!!
