Didn't think Hoist was interested in petards, he had more to do with the planets didn't he?

ooh, a pedants thread... always keen to play:
The phrase is actually "HOIST with his own petard" (not hoisted)
From Shakespeare (William, not Craig) ‘'Tis sport to have the engineer Hoist with his own petard’


Quoted from nomorefourfiveone


Shakey doesn't say but he clearly went everywhere with his petard which I believe is a kid of small dog used in the middle ages to keep ones willy warm on a cold night


Quoted from nomorefourfiveone


quite right too! I meant pedants (as in more than one pedant) as an adjective describing the thread rather than trying to infer 'possession' of the thread by one or more pedants (pedant's for one, but would it be pedants' for more than one?) but on reflection I'm not convinced it would be right of me to use several pedants in adjectival form but then again I'm not convinced that I it wrong either. e.g. sports medicine: the branch of medicine that covers a number of sports (the sport is descriptive and not possessive of the medicine so requires no possessive apostrophe)

Altogether it is a field of mines but at the moment I'm on the lookout for a petard - it's bloody freezing here

Yeah, i know it's from Shakespeare and it may well be hoist and not hoisted but to my mind the hoistee (barralad) had been hoisted, if that makes sense.

Anyway, being conversant with grammar and pronunciation means eff all when i'm fitting a kitchen or constructing a roof, so i'll leave all that tosh to you intellectual types.

Can you do a scarf joint.......................?  Thought not.
