I am in Twitter. My DH got me in, as all of his journo friends are on it. They can link to latest columns, etc. and keep track of each others' writing. I am TheScrap, if anyone wants to follow me or vice versa.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is "please advise" hopelessly passive aggressive business writing? I've already used "as per", so I'm rocking the style.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I don't think it is passive aggressive, ita.

I get instantly angry whenever someone uses it on me, but since I'm unemployed right now, I say go ahead and rock the passive aggressive.

I tend to abhor business speak, so I would probably say "Let me know."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Tommy, I think I'm going with "too soon", as a response.
I think I'd have the same reaction to a Vesuvius model.

A bar inside the trunk of a Baobab tree has tourists flocking from far and wide just to drink a cold brew in the amazing tavern. It was fashioned inside a massive 72 foot (22 meters) high tree in a garden in Limpopo, South Africa, for thirsty locals.
Grown in the grounds of Sunland Farm, the tree trunk is so wide it takes 40 adults with outstretched arms to encircle its 155 foot (48 meters) circumference. The trunk is hollow, but its walls are still up to 6.5 feet (2 meters) thick.
The tree has its own cellar, with natural ventilation to keep the beer cold.
Carbon-dating has determined the ancient tree to be about 6,000 years old. “This tree is likely to be older than the Giza Pyramids of Egypt.” said Heather van Heerden, owner of Sunland Farm.
“It is phenomenal to have such a magnificent tree in your back garden. It is possibly the biggest living thing on earth.” she adds.
Huh. The tree is naturally hollow.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Wow...that's...tasteless doesn't quite cover it now, does it?
