    Expletive infixation, a recognised linguistic construction. It's a
    variant form of tmesis.

  3. No. but I have heard rummers. That bad mmm?

    How about twelve and a quarter inches across the shell with claws the
    size of your fist. That was the biggest I've ever picked up and it
    *didn't* want to get into my catch bag.

    I knew "tmesis". The "expletive infixation" came from checking
    Wikipedia (" ") to make sure I was right before I posted. I
    have a certain affinity for linguistics, and a somewhat pedantic
    attitude toward proper use of language (I am, however, not
    infallible). I don't use spell-checking software, but I do proof-read
    my posts. I use proper English in SMS messages. I abhor feral
    apostrophes.

    I'm good, but I'm not that good. I'm also too honest to defraud
    anyone.

    Er.

    She stuck two 44s in his back - then she pulled a gun.

  12. I've just looked at Ingoldmells on Google Earth. There must be thousands
    and thousands of the little boxes.

    Sounds like you've got some bizarre system settings. It's just an mp3
    file; should be fine even if you're not running windows. And it
    certainly doesn't need to be opened in Quicktime.

  18. All very standard and very much default values and all bought, paid for,
    and patched to the hilt.

    You tell quicktime that. Things have not been the same since I
    installed it and refused to install itunes at the same time. It does
    not like it. Still the error reports are keeping somebody employed
    fruitlessly and that is what counts.

    Count yourself lucky: I brought up two jars of olives on my last trip to
    Blighty, and the people to whom I presented them as gifts, said, 'what are
    they?'
