Re: What if anything are you listening to now?
"Yes, it's possessive 's' in that phrase, but aren't you more likely to hear 'monkeys' in the plural? As in 'Those monkeys like bananas' or ' The zoo has lots of monkeys ' or 'David Attenborough made a documentary about monkeys ' etc."
Re: What if anything are you listening to now?
"No one has been able to trace the full history of this bizarre phrase. Several theories have been floated over the years, most notably the idea that monkey actually refers to the brass rack (called a monkey) that would have been used to stack cannon balls on a ship. In extreme cold, the brass would contract and thus force the cannon balls out of the rack. However, this story has not been confirmed ""ì and does little to explain why other simian body parts have also been dropping off. - Oxford Dictionaries"

You're on shaky ground if trying to suggest I don't know how to wield an apostrophe.

Why did Samsung insert an apostrophe there?? Surely the plural form of monkey is going to be used FAR more often than with possessive 's'? Koreans would make good supermarket delivery pickers.

"Good point, Debs. The monkey's who choose the 'substitutions' are thick as mince. And then you end up having to go out again to get the item they didn't bring. It's pointless."

"geep 1:31 I won't use supermarket delivery services. I want to select my own fresh produce. And until stage production companies and actors agree to come round my house and set up a performance in my sitting room, I'll still need to go into The Out some evenings."

"dm I agree, best album. My favourite Gong bit is the Master Builder/Sprinkling of Clouds sequence (the rest of the album is a bit patchy) especially when the latter explodes into life. Hillage might do spacey most of the time (I like System 7) but he is a mean shredder too."

The fucking churcj bells which are a out 50 feet away from my bedroom window. They must be having a random training session. Usually start clanging about 9am on sunday waking up the whole of Wokingham. And the soothing tones of Barbera Streisand (best of)

"Listening to London calling - The Clash at the moment on my balcony in spain. The clash and the Jam etc were a few years before my time but spent my early years listening to them, as my old man would bang it at home out most weekends. Kinda wish I was born a few years early so this was my era...great music, good times to support West Ham and would have had many more enjoyable experiences standing on the north bank."
