Not quite Ponders, what i actually said was

I think it works and is quite acceptable in grammatical terms, even though some don't understand what was actually said, as some have a habit of 'quote mining'.

You have used litany as your collecting device - a sort of trawling net. And inside the net is your catch: all the times Toby has continued to post despite threatening to ignore you.

I can see the catch in your net, but others would perhaps find it a little abstract, as you would with these examples:

A bag of potato (chips)
A series of odorous gas (farts)
A group of sweaty humanity (teenagers)

The meaning is there, but it does require a little deciphering.

Bollocks <laugh>

The meaning is clear. Litany is a synonym of repetition fur **** sake. Or are you just saying every other **** is a dumbass and won't understand big words like litany?

(Scan excepted, of course. The dumbass)

Actually laughed out loud a wee bit there, so much so that my boss looked at me inquiringly.

Should I tell her that I'm on a football forum whilst working? I think not, I prefer to let her think I'm senile/demented/mental.
