Pedants' corner

I'm fed up with being stuck in this corner - can't we have a pedants' lounge...

with squashy red sofas, and cockails & snacks served by silent subcservients? With a huge one-way mirror so that we can sneer at watch the rest of MN?

(Could it have been 'fed up of' - discuss)

Oooooh.... this is comfy

So that's it then, you only have to think about it and it becomes a reality. Sounds v. esoteric. Fancy a Bloody Mary? I'm buying...

No!
You're lucky we don't shove you in the shed with Tech!
Be quiet.

No one puts pedants in the corner!

StealthPolarBear · 19/03/2008 13:34

Tech has gone - keep up!
We can't have a pedants' lounge, we'd only spend all day arguing whether it should be lounge/living rooom/drawing room/etc...

hecate · 19/03/2008 13:35

Tech has gone? Where? Why? What are we going to do now? What if MN breaks? Who will save us? mummy

hecate · 19/03/2008 13:35

But, on the plus side, this does mean you can have his shed.

theyoungvisiter · 19/03/2008 13:36

how about a pedants' health spa? With aromatherapy massage, pedicures and a thalassotherapy pool?

theyoungvisiter · 19/03/2008 13:36

ok, tech has gone? I missed that. When? Where? How? Who left the shed unlocked?

tearinghairout · 19/03/2008 13:36

Hecate - there's a door policy, you know. So behave or you won't be let in.

You could just call it The Pedantry, like rockery, shrubbery, etc.

hecate · 19/03/2008 13:38

bully.
I'm going to go and get Lapin. She's my friend and she'll sort you out.....

theyoungvisiter · 19/03/2008 13:38

The Pedantry sound like a very expensive hotel (perhaps I am thinking of The Witchery)

hecate · 19/03/2008 13:38

heee, I'm namedropping

captainmummy · 19/03/2008 13:39

'Dun Wincin'?

Swedes · 19/03/2008 13:40

Pedants' Snooker Hall?

hotcrossMonkeybun · 19/03/2008 13:40

God, no: a pedants' sitting room, surely?

tearinghairout · 19/03/2008 13:41

Health spa sounds lovely. But no fanjo-talcing in the changing rooms.

tearinghairout · 19/03/2008 13:43

Anyway, I'm off to source some palms...

StealthPolarBear · 19/03/2008 13:44

Tech's departure
I like "The Pedantry"

Swedes · 19/03/2008 13:44

Sauce some palms surely

StealthPolarBear · 19/03/2008 13:44

Might even call my house it

IdrisTheDragon · 19/03/2008 13:45

I like the concept, but am not able to be in a lounge .

StealthPolarBear · 19/03/2008 13:46

I have a question and am too lazy to start a new thread

"Up to half price off"

That sounds wrong to me. Surely it's "up to half the price off" or "down to half price" - anyone agree?
But also it offends me in a mathematical sense and I can't put my finger on why - help!
