...I still don't know what's happening with clouds. Are they pockets of wetter air in volumes of drier air or are they pockets of low pressure air in volumes of high pressure air or are they pockets of colder air in volumes of warmer air? The reason I don't get it is because the edges of the clouds are constantly changing.

I've got that Joni Mitchell song in my head now.

As a relatively young lad and a newcomer to the Company, back in 1989ish I had an argument with the Senior Partner over this. I still believe I was correct.

eg: Doing X will affect Y and Z will be the effect.

I'm 36yrs old, and I've never had a wet shave, I used an electric razor from the start and just never stopped.

Worried I'd slice my face open at this stage.

40 years old and every time I read the word quay I say "kway" in my head then have to go back and re-read it as key. See also gaol as "gay-ol".

Practice/Practise and Licence/License are easy. Use c for the noun and use s for the verb. Unless you're American, then it's all dumbed down to use just s for both.
