I'm not a major card-sender.<br /><br />Ellie - good one - and possibly 'have someone's eye out?<br /><br />Dave - Well, you had your chance and chose another name entirely. Is 'bloody' rude? No intention to cause offense... well, not on this occasion anyway!<br /><br />Rainy - Thank you kindly, although I'm shocked that you didn't know what biro was - I thought that was universal? Named for Laszlo Biro, the inventor of the ballpoint pen. But now I look at Wikipedia I learn it is a 'British English' thing.

(It's taken us more than a year, until today, to reach 100 posts, and it took 4 of us to do it, so I am 4x impressed.)<br /><br />As for your title: I loved it from the start . . . well, almost, as I first had to seek from my British mate not only what a biro was, but how to pronounce it! Titles can be pesky (take it from . . . er . . . RA), and you have come up with a winner. <br /><br />I look forward to what's on offer at Broken Biro in year 2.Susan Scheid (Raining Acorns)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02827286681242730183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592591789385602191.post-28052105658190272792010-11-16T13:37:55.852+00:002010-11-16T13:37:55.852+00:00'Bloody pedant' I would change the name o...'Bloody pedant' I would change the name of my blog to that immediately, if only I used rude words.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592591789385602191.post-29799374430893579462010-11-16T13:27:06.544+00:002010-11-16T13:27:06.544+00:00Chew nervously?Chew nervously?Ellie Garratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03731071128348213067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592591789385602191.post-11897951451382987102010-11-16T08:26:57.218+00:002010-11-16T08:26:57.218+00:00Not send Christmas cards, with a clear conscience?...Not send Christmas cards, with a clear conscience?Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494219959077922220noreply@blogger.com
