”Err well I’ve been a nose for about thirty-five years now ‘n yeah, I’d say it’s a demanding job. There’s a lot of running involved, and there’s the wear and tear; winter takes it’s toll”, sniff.
”It’s multi-skilled of course, warming, humidifying and filtering. Yeah, I’m proud to be a nose.”

Inspired by a cold and a nose that was valiant in the face of much adversity.

Resignation of the Colon
Dear Sir
I resign from the English Language in protest at the change in my contract. Once I stood proud within a sentence, before comments, lists or quotations. Now I am closeted with Parenthesis for the amusement of the semi-literate.
This does not make me smile.
Yours sincerely
Colon
– - – - inspired by an email received from the College of Heraldry which really highlighted the way in which our language is changing – it was an odd, sweet and archaic message to be found floating around on the internet!
I read this and thought we were still on anatomy for a minute lol. Indeed our language and grammar is changing, poor colon, i shall endeavour to use it appropriately
) ( a smiley face is an ironic use of the colon I always think).
Mine’s about a sandwich:
