1, that's a possessive apostrophe, so it appears Mr Cook owns a c***


Nope. It is a contractive apostrophe. Consider the context of the sentence. With the indefinite article "a" following "Cook's", the apostrophe signifies missing letters, to wit: "James Cook is a c***". Had the article been missing ("James Cook's c***") then the apostrophe would be deemed possessive and the sentence interpreted as a reference to the c*** owned by James Cook.

While the apostrophe has been used correctly it may be considered poor style to use with a proper noun, in part because of the confusion. In this case the young chick might've (sic) done better to write "James Cook is a c***", or even more correctly, "James Cook was a c***".

Now write it out a hundred times.

Got home last night to find the eldest had turned on the RC A/C to heat the whole house, because she personally was a little bit chilly.

Five minutes later I finished berating her. Then I turned off the A/C; I figure I'd heated her up enough.

No. When I discovered what she'd done I just had to vent.

We've had my step-son and his missus living with us for the past few months, I got home from work one day a couple of weeks ago when it was 40+ and the air-con was flapping it's snatch out but all the windows were left wide open blowing the hot wind inside, and every door inside was open including the toilet, bathroom and even the garage.

Needless to say I just shook my head, turned around and went straight to the pub.

2, January 26 marks the day Captain Arthur Phillip arrived into Botany Bay. So there's that.

I was saying to a chick at work that this month sucks as we work a day for free being a leap year.

She comes back to me a few minutes later and says "it turns out that we don't, the 29th is a Saturday".

FWIW, she is blonde.

Straya!

An Australian couple quarantined on a cruise ship due to the deadly coronavirus kept the party flowing by getting a drone to deliver wine straight to their cabin.

Jan and Dave Binskin, from Queensland, have chronicled their journey of boredom and booze while stranded on the Diamond Princess ship off the coast of Tokyo for the past week.
