Post by Primula » Fri Dec 26, 2008 7:54 pm

Is it time to start a new Questions thread? Really? Are we all that inquisitive and generally filled with curly little punctuation marks? :cyclops:

What part of Questions Only did Ic miss? Does he have an aversion to those curly little marks?

Did Frodosmiss miss (<hehe>) my super-special little curly mark?

Is there such a thing as a not curly question mark?

Wouldn't that make it an exclamation mark? :huh:

Do other languages also have the upward intonation for a question?

Where have all the good men gone?

(these questions don't actually have to be related, do they?)

Have you found any yet? What is their post code (zip code)? And why precisely did you want to know?

The all the good men in hiding then? Is it a matter of national importance that we find them? Is it possible they are merely off fishing or watching sports?

Do we really want to hear them fuss because we did find them and interupted what they were doing? :argh:

Is it not only their buddies, the Not-So-Good Men that would act thus? :whack:

Was the reason they were lost in the first place, that like all men, they would not stop and ask directions? Could they not have walked to the supermarket for a bag of doughnuts anyhow? Am I right in thinking this is because they wanted to show off their shiny new station wagon?

Is it just me, or does this sound like something our Syl has had experience with?

Why do I always insist Pete drives when we are on holiday? Why do I always make sure I get to read the map? I wonder - is it because I actually want to get to the destination without a 50 mile detour?
