Ah yes, Conan the Grammarian, who made regular ranty appearances on my former blog, once upon a time. Sorry folks, but after recent events poor Conan has gone into shock, and frankly may not recover.
For instance, there was that recent sighting in Belfast. My mother-in-law lives in Belfast, and as soon as we're there insists we all have T. Now I see why. It seems that it frequently goes missing in this city:
(Sorry the "U" is hidden behind the window bar...but that's a whole 'nother issue!)
Then we came home to find our community newsletter in the mail, which appears to be offering to train me to be Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered (all at once?!)...well, er, ok, maybe I'll have a go....
But I suspect that if the wording were changed just slightly, we'd have a clearer picture of purpose of the scheduled event.
Anyhow, Conan's taking a much-needed break now. If you'd like to read her past adventures, they were mostly on the old (dead) blog, but two remain here: Conan the Grammarian Does Galway and Phone Woman v. Conan the Librarian (that's the alter ego, I suppose...)

I wonder if I could get Conan as an app on my blog editor and twitter feed.
She'd surely come in handy with my numerous typos and misspellings.
:)
Ashley, I've never seen one yet! Although I must admit typos never bother me on blogs--they're journal entries of a sort after all, no need to be so formal I guess.
Now, a GRAFFITI artist should be more careful! LOL
Hope, back atcha.
Man, oh man. I want to fly over just to attend that training and see what really does go on at the youth center.
Enterain. I enterained a lot yesterday. It was coming down cats and dogs, and I couldn't avoid it.
hmmm interesting training session. No wonder I'm no good at it. I never went through training. I just came by it naturally LOL
I'm lost! Guess that was before my time, eh? I mean blogging, not in lifetime. As nothing remotely about you is before my time ... as I'm way before YOUR time! :-)
Sandy, LOL, I did wonder if it was a Freudian slip of some kind, rain being such an overwhelming part of living here...
Thom, wow, ALL FOUR? I'm even more impressed than I was at hearing you could kick yourself in the ass, that's talent! ROFL
Mimi, sorry about that, but on two blogs that preceded this one, I had a regular rant about public signs and newspapers, menus, whatever, that featured typos and grammatical errors. I *hate* that. Typos and misspellings in personal letters, blogs, or notes, I don't even notice. But newspapers and permanent signs should take some care I think. Just a quirk I guess, but I'm not the only one!
Does anyone really need lesbian training?
G-Man, I could interpret your question on SO many levels, I won't even try to give you an answer! LOL
But I am so tempted to show up for this, walk in, and ask, "Is there where I can learn to be a Lesbian? Do I get a diploma after?" I imagine I might (deservedly) get the sh!t kicked out of me, if the teacher doesn't have a sense of humour.
