I would say changing the manifold bolts would be very risky unless you need to, lightly one will need drilling out and then the fun starts

Something I've noticed in recent emails from recruitment agencies:

agency said:
My client are a leading IT Service provider working with some major clients across the UK and internationally.
The dictionary definition of client is:

"A person or organization using the services of a lawyer or other professional person or company"

So does that mean it's correct to say "my client are"?

No. Person and organisation are singular.

Also bare in mind that if the flight lands at 10:00 you won't be clear of the airport until 10:40 at the earliest. Clearing the airplane, passport control & the sheer size of the place ensure this.

Heck. That's 2/2 for posts in threads I don't normally contribute to that would have been better left out. That'll learn me.
