She bled on the keyboard.

(Please make it a rule that it scans...)

MiceElf Thu 27-Mar-14 20:51:52

Who was pootling about in his garage

MiceElf Thu 27-Mar-14 21:40:11

I do apologise Ana. But then I wouldn't dream of criticising someone's scansion.

MiceElf Thu 27-Mar-14 21:41:29

I'll bow out now.

Ana Thu 27-Mar-14 21:53:01

I didn't criticise anyone's scansion. I said I hoped it would be a rule.
I wouldn't dream of taking over a thread, either.

Galen Thu 27-Mar-14 21:58:00
