Recent discussion in the Independent's pedants'r-we column (inexplicably unavailable online) as to the absence or presence of a hyphen in the middle of 'tiddlywinks' further reminds me of another recent text from Andy where the fact that he did, in fact, use a hyphen somewhat paled beside his deeply politically-incorrect use of the word in close relation to his presence at (or absence from) Soho's celebrations of Chinese New Year...

I keep that text from Andy archived on my phone because I never cease to marvel at the fact that I managed to understand it. And because it still makes me laugh.

That which shortly followed is somewhat more opaque, but also still makes me laugh:

Having opted to make Blogadoon's pictures bigger, I had to increase the width of the column.

Having made the column wider, I felt I had to increase the text size (to maintain a comfortable number of words per line.)

Having increased the text size, I needed to differentiate the sub-heads more clearly from the text, so I changed the colour slightly.

A re-design then? God forbid! (If it ain't broke, why fix it?)

And if these so-called domestic cleaning experts are so damn clever, how come they don't warn you, when they advise you to buy denture cleaning tablets to remove limescale from your toilet bowl, that there will be a really cute boy in the queue behind you when the till mis-functions and the shop assistant shouts out, "How much the Steradent, Maeve?"
