This thread started on the subject of porcupines and has reached ham in cellophane via a discussion about the plural of "mince".
What worries me is that this is the most sensible one for ages.

Your laces are undone.
I apologise, in advance.

I like my ham in cellophane.

And warm in certain situations.

A farm in Ceylon might help point you to where I was coming from, Roger!

Anyway, they're vermin. Celery's too good for 'em.

Mince isn't plural. You can have a little bit of mince, or a lot of mince, but it's singular mince.

Mince plural is minces - and he does, so I believe.

Yes. I also heard that.

Ah, hidden mince. I'm incessantly annoyed by stuff like that.

Well done, Roger. (And you didn't need the final two cryptic sentences).

You win a Beau Peep original strip, signed by yourself. Could you choose one, autograph it, and pick it up from your house?

Are you telling me you didn't manage to decode "Hidden Mince" from "Your laces are undone."

Sheesh! There are times I don't know why I bother.
I apologise, in advance.
