Catherine Deneuve to Omar Sharif in Mayerling. One of the worst 10 movies ever. But I will go to my grave wanting to use that line.

Thanks Suzian.

That is as clear as a bag full of smoke. Well spotted though. Spoken words mislead as often as they guide. Back to school then for me.

Hello Sue..................I'm going to have to watch out that I don't put any apostrophes in the wrong place.....lol

Hope you've had a good week :)

Forgive me for this Dermot, but........

The anal guardian of the apostrophe would like to point out that:

"The word it's is always short for it is (as in it's raining), or in informal speech, for it has (as in it's got six legs).

The word its means 'belonging to it' (as in hold its head still while I jump on its back). It is a possessive pronoun like his- and hence needs no apostrophe."

Sorry - but the apostrophe could whither like the family tree, if no-one guards its roots!

A Family Tree can wither if nobody tends it’s roots.

People who drink to drown their sorrows should be told that ‘sorrow’ knows how to swim.

Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.
