We do have the interweb here in Norfolk.

Mind you, it’s still in black and white.

I officially disapprove of prescriptivist approaches to language but in practice I nitpick like a retired headmaster with no friends. I justify this to myself with the reflection that at least I don’t believe that misplaced apostrophes are causing the inevitable Decline of Society. Or write to the Telegraph about it.

It would probably make much more sense for the possessive apostrophe to die out altogether instead of randomly spreading to plurals. Maybe we should just rejoice and take it off the endangered list?

I’ve just realised that I put the question mark inside the quotation marks instead of outside them. I am preparing for ritual suicide.

I access teh interwebs from my outside toilet, me flat cap keeping me warm whilst me whippet howls outside. Eeeh, life’s grand.

I am also offended by the misspelling of HaHa. But then again, I take pictures with my phone of spelling and punctuation errors in shops, so I can hardly talk about sanity (“This wine is great for party’s?” Parties that do or have WHAT, precisely, Sainsbury’s? Hmm, hmm?).

I heard that teh internets was nationally available but seen with greater awe the further from London you get. In the outer hebrides tribes of people are thought to worship their computers in little shrines and make human sacrifices to keep their bandwidth up.

Don’t worry, I’m actually sending my comments by homing pigeon to the nearest proper town.

Nice try Mim, but you’ll never convince me the internet has got beyond Zone 6.

Is Norfolk the one that features in inbreeding jokes? It’s all The South to me below about Leeds, so I get confused.

I find HaaHaa HeeHee’s inability to spell HaHa slightly disturbing.

Obviously one of the Norfolk HaaHaa HeeHee’s. They were related to Lord HawHaw don’t you know?

Very flat, Norfolk.
