I may have mentioned in earlier posts that, before I retired, I worked in the Punctuation Police eventually being promoted to the elite, armed response, Apostrophe Squad. You can imagine my fury, after spending 30 minutes filling in my extensive and complex medical conditions, when I discovered that the last page was titled " Travellers Age's ".
My mood was not improved when this page then froze, not only preventing a quote being generated, but also leaving this offensive phrase dominating the screen until the whole damned site crashed.

Idiot's.

Fabulous - the post, not the page freezing. ;D

The dock is going to be fairly crowded, but I'm sure we can find a place for you.

Thank you M'Lud!
Once, in a Courtroom, the Defense Barrister was heard to say "at the time of the offence M'Lud my clinet was as drunk as a Judge" To which, the Judge replied leaning forward "I think you will find the phrase is "as drunk as a Lord" to whcih the Barrister replied with a smile "As your Lordship pleases!"

Blimey JT, you actually got an apostrophe right. Not too keen on the double inverted commas within double inverted commas though. Perhaps I am being too harsh.
