When landlords chalked pints and quarts up “on the slate” they weren’t averse to adding a few extra marks. It’s therefore a warning to customers to watch the bill. Instead of chalking up on the slate, London Market porters had their drinks marked on a strip of leather or tab, hence “running a tab”. It’s also said to give us the expression “strapped for cash” Elaine Saunders Author: A Book About Pub Names http://www.completetext.com Whilst writing my book about pub history I discovered that “Mind your Ps and Qs” might also be another kind of warning.

]]> Comment on The Conventions of Blogging by jelainesays http://jelainesays.wordpress.com/2008/07/15/the-conventions-of-blogging/#comment-6 jelainesays Sun, 20 Jul 2008 05:02:57 +0000 http://jelainesays.wordpress.com/?p=10#comment-6 Thanks for the continued comments boys--it means a lot to me. As you know, I started this seperate blog as a way to rid my mind of random thoughts that plague me day in and day out. Writing up here helps me to "cleanse" my mind so to speak. I can't promise I'll do it daily (not enough hours in the day) but stay tuned, I'll try to post weekly at best...more often if more time becomes available. As far as the article "J. Dub" I have taken time to scan through the high points. It's a good read and I appreciate you giving me the link. It's interesting to read an article about blogging, however, for now I'm just winging it with this blog. I've decided that I have enough structure in my life on a daily basis, this will just be a "free for all" zone where I can get away from standards and conventions. The (one out of two) areas where I can be truly be myself. Does that make any sense? Btw, yes you really need to blog. Please try it out, get your feet wet and have a little fun. It's really not as scary as it seems, you may surprise yourself (and your potiental fan base). Damian--again thanks for the shout outs in your blog. I appreciate your support and praise. You also have the gift of writing. I truly enjoy reading both of your blogs and look forward to future posts. You are one of the main reasons I even started blogging :-) Thanks for the continued comments boys–it means a lot to me.

Dub Thu, 17 Jul 2008 23:41:19 +0000 http://jelainesays.wordpress.com/?p=10#comment-3 How dare you try to challenge me to blog! Yes, blogging is a form of expression but it can be taught. Blogs are a writing genre. You don't write the same way on a blog as you would for a business document, or use the same conventions that you use in creaive nonfiction (remember what a scene is? lol). Writing genres all have similar "conventions". Instead of being all gung ho about "freedom of expression" I suggest you read this piece here: http://blog.lib.umn.edu/blogosphere/blogging_as_social_action.html It was written by the graduate director of the English dept at NCSU. Then when you're ready, I can loan you a book or two on blogging for success. Btw, I haven't blogged yet because I don't think the world is ready for what I have to say ;-) How dare you try to challenge me to blog! Yes, blogging is a form of expression but it can be taught.

It's like getting to watch the world evolve. And can you imagine going back and reading blogs from our teens 80 years later?? That's either really awesome or scary. :) Good luck with the blog!
