Punctuation Ruining The Nation…

I know I’ve said it here before but weird the number of people I know who read here regularly but never actually say it to me. They drop it in conversation, sometimes accidentally and don’t feel it might be even slightly strange. Am I weird to think it’s weird..? Do people do that to your blog? Anyhew…

Got any…? rick@2fm.ie
