Crossovers and Other Things.

Hello folks. I am wondering why you have not seen the daily night and morning gifs. Well,mia culpa. I totally forgot. After my jaunt down to Paddock Wood and a fish and chip food and drink in Gravesend 'Spoons pub last night, i got home and promptly fell asleep. I woke up at four though totally refreshed!

This was a good thing as i snucked into the common room where the Quays WiFi is it at its "strongest" - guffaw! Anyway i caught up woith the latest episode of Supergirl "Medusa" ,which then continued to the next episode of The Flash and then Arrow with the denouement in Legends Of Tomorrow - they were fighting an alien horde known as the Dominators. It was an awesome three and a half hours of DC comic fantasy full on blast! (Shush TV excludes all the damn adverts).

Here is a You Tube explanation - well one explanation -  of the crossover - spoiler alert if not watched.

I thoroughly enjoyed this crossover.

Just Wondering

What is your favourite cheesy pick-up line? Have you ever used it for real?

Which character from a TV show or a book that you’ve always resonated with?

Would you rather be well respected or well loved?

Snuck or Sneak?

I like snuck so i will use it when needed -

"You may have heard that snuck as the past tense of sneak is improper English, but does this designation hold water?

Like leaked as the past tense of leak, sneaked was the original past tense and past participle for sneak, which means “to move in a stealthy or furtive manner.” Used as early as the late 1800s, snuck has become the standard variant past tense and past participle of the verb sneak. Though some grammarians, particularly in Britain, still prefer sneaked, snuck has achieved widespread acceptance and usage in edited writing, including fiction and journalism.

How did this strange form sneak into standard English? Writing in 1995 in the New York Times, language maven William Safire explores how colloquial usage slowly standardizes by examining how shrunk overtook shrank as the preferred past tense of the verb shrink. He pinpoints the 1989 film Honey, I Shrunk the Kids as pushing the use of shrank into obscurity in favor of the past participle shrunk for the simple past tense. He also discusses–and uses–snuck as the past tense form of sneak, calling it a “perfect example of a usage that has crept (informally creeped) up on us.”

So guys which form do you prefer?

After a nice lie-in i did one charity shop visit in Faversham , picked up some pipe tobacco and soon will be heading off to Whitstable for another 'Spoons food and drink visit. I have up till nine to complete my food order so i don't have to rush as yet.

Resurrection Symphony

The music selection is just one today but in light of this sale one i have always thought was a masterpiece - a manuscript of the score was sold recently for a record 4.5 million.
