Plus Pink is too busy, having done ten validations already today, to eat crisps...
So it's not actually a rainbow I can see!! It's just Her Pinkness's Halo shining brightly!!!

I think the difference between English and most ither languages,and possibly one of the reasons for its popularity is that you can be understood even if your grammar and pronunciation are awful and you don't know very much of the language.
Try getting by in France on schoolboy English with an appalling accent and you'll know what I mean.

I used the spell-checker as well just to make sure I had spent appalling correctly.
I'll never forget a night 40 odd years ago in a public bar in Kircudbright where as students we stayed the night and had delicious poached fresh salmon-probably poached in two ways!!
My mate and I sampled the local light and heavy, and couldn't understand a word of the conversation going on around us.
We were invited into to judge a contest and rule as whose was the biggest- we were taken into the gents and much to our relief then onward into the back garden to judge who had grown the biggest marrow-the publican or his next door neighbour!
PS The spell-checker doesn't recognise Kircudbright!
