Travel/holiday thread

I did a tour in 2024 and can thoroughly recommend it. I can give details of the route and climbs if you wish.
One thing to be aware of, the weather. It is not called the Costa Verde without reason, the rain keeps things green.

Yes please PB, send me a DM if it's not too much trouble? I had a memory you had, as I seemed to recall your mentioning cycling up the Angliru!

Only if you are inconsistent with your own previous distaste for an Oxford comma. Otherwise something else is needed in the sentence to prevent the correct interpretation that you have wilfully avoided.

It's actually nothing to do with a serial (killer) comma or not, because it wouldn't stop it being a list of the things a shark could do. You'd need to say "but with a lower risk being of being shot or drowned, or of being attacked by a shark", the comma and second 'or of being' making it clear that he had nothing to do with the first two catastrophes. Sorry, it's more Letraset, so goes against my like of concision.

Anyway, as it's PP's thread, and he'll probably tell me to FRO, I'll get ahead of the game.

I think you need a comma before the "by".

But yes, you can fro.

That much I can remember. A quick Google came up with loads of options and the trouble with insurance is that you don't know it's worth until you make a claim. Any suggestions based on experience?

Have I ever been that impolite?

I vaguely want to go and see the solar eclipses this year and next, so either Spain or Greenland it is, but given the current situation regarding the latter, it might just be Spain.
Ok, a holiday to Spain is not 'epic', but a solar eclipse is!

I also hope I do not meet any gun - toting sharks, Oxford Commas or anything else for that matter!

In my op, did I get the punctuation wrong? No requirements to be epic.

No, I mis - read it.

Besides, regardless of a solar eclipse, I am sure Spain can be epic afterall, if done the right way and you avoid the usual tourist traps, etc.

No. Even if you've thought it. But maybe you're so polite you've never even thought it. In which case you'd definitely win the Nobel Politeness Prize.

It's just a flagrant attempt to adopt the moral high ground. He can just fro.

I'm not going hijack PP's very sensible thread with... let's see... banter?
