As ya’ll know, and are sick to damn death hearin’ about it I am sure, but too polite to say so, I am now effectively divorced.   As of last week that is.  And yep, last week was up there with my mother’s terminal brain tumour dying in the living room with the cat on […]

Ah that well oiled clause “no strings”. It really is one of those expressions whose meaning is very much dependent upon the context in which it’s used.
