I seem to have taken to not using the first cubical
in the loos in the shopping centre, and always use
the second one. Not smoking the first cigarette in
the pack etc. Presumably next is not drinking the
first cup of coffee.

No, this is not a call for a list, as I'll have to delete
the first anno and go for the second one.
Unless someone posts two annos and deletes the

If yes, I have been educated. If not I am delighted that you could coin such an excellent Victorianism. |
|

Ha! Not a word! I love it! More Holmesian than Holmes! Well done, sir. |

I was thinking more Barrett Homes. Of course
I wouldn't be buying the first house.
Attempting to not use the first zero of the byte
does tend to ==-_%//*# unpredictably. |

And yet Holmes by his own admission was guilty of at least one example .... <link> |

It makes sense that you are a native English speaker, zen tom. I have you confused with a Dutch baker. Someone will remind me who that is. |

It is zeno. Same first 3 letters! |

Somewhere in the country, Eamon Holmes is on the phone to his lawyers about this idea. |
|

Yes, but is he using the first set of lawyers in
the yellow pages... |
