Completely agree - he should be nominated for an award.

The street cleaner on Copleston Road/Besant Place who, each of the three times I passed him this morning, gave me a big smile and a friendly good morning. Good man yourself, cheered up the morning for me.

Wasn't sure where to post this but it is a positive 'Whisper' not exactly a shout out..

After a couple of years I finally got back to Ganapati..

Intended to try their Lunch Menu. but as they were offering their full menu I went for that..

Just some Poppadoms and Pickles.. a Chicken Curry that came 'On the bone' not seen that anywhere in the last 30 yesrs.

and their Coconut rice...As it was lunch time just had water.

Was quite nice and better than my last experiance their but did take a lttle time to wait. 20+ mins.

Because it was on the bone.

Came to ?16.50 and I was not charged extra for the Rice. Was fairly spicy (Black pepper ?) Filled a hole.

I enjoyed my meal but nothing special to write home about as some might rant on about.

Blimey! Nice try Dulwich Fox. Good effort. Must try harder. Having said that a positive move on your part. More of this sort of thing please.

My positive shout out is to the young lady who helped me order a coffee at the services earlier today. Don't often go into a McDonalds, and certainly never used a self service touch screen super dooper thing before. FYI the coffee was crap (as expected).

Louisa.

Great news, you survived the chicken Louisa! 🐥

Hi Lou..

Great news for British Tennis, Joanna Konta through to the Miami Final. C'm on JoKo!! ☺

[steveo]

Now is that a real name? Just asking.

By the way, shouldn't the subject header read 'Positive Shouts Out?'

-Pedant

[Jah Lush]

I would suggest the honourable gentleman looks up the word plural and read its definition.

[steveo]

It's not often you're right but you're wrong again

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shout_out

Noun[edit]

shout out (plural shouts out)

[Jah Lush]

https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/plural

[steveo]

Yes I have heard of the word plural before

In this case though, the plural is the shouts

[steveo]

Although, I suppose, if you are employing the argot of the yoot and are countenancing 'shout-out' as the noun, then I concede

[JohnL]

There's two plurals isn't there

When you are listing multiple friends on a website/twitter facebook

When you are talking about multiple instances of people doing shout(s) out

So I could talk about shouts outs or shouts's out :)

Unless asking a Bristolian infant their age.

[Jah Lush]

Thanks Red Devil. A positive shout out to you. High five. ;-)

[steveo]

That's because High is the adjective

I'll be out of my grammatical depth in a minute, if not already

That's because high in that construction is an adjective and five is the noun, so the noun takes the plural, just as in shout out the shout is the noun and out a preposition, so the noun takes the plural, shouts out. However, one can make shout out a compound noun as either shout-out or shoutout, in which case the plural shout-outs or shoutouts is quite correct.

I would get out more but me anorak's in the wash.

[Jah Lush]

Well, that's cleared that one up.
