Finlandia Lime is one of my fav. vodkas.

"Jack me" and "tart"?

 

Cheeky bugger, just because I was ill. Anyway, I recall we went through 7
bottles on Friday night, and that was before you lot went clubbing.

Finlandia is lovely when it's been in the freezer for a couple of days.

 

Quite a bit is wrong if you want to be REALLY picky. It is usually bad form
to have a comma before a conjunction such as 'and' or 'but'. The easiest
way to 'fix' this kind of problem is to use a full stop instead of a comma
and delete the conjunction. This creates two shorter sentences. Deleting
the conjunction may, in some circumstances, result in a need to rephrase one
or both of the new sentences. In this example the first section lacks a
verb. Splitting the sentence into two sentences will require a verb to be
added to the first section. The grammatical status of "OK" is uncertain as
it is a slang term but, if used, both letters should be capitalised. "OK"
should be followed by either a comma, a full stop or an exclamation mark.
The second section of the sentence contains redundant words and lacks a
comma. The sentence could be re-written as follows:

OK, that's no problem. If you could fax a copy, that would be extremely
useful.
OR
OK, that's no problem. If you could send a copy by fax, that would be
extremely useful.

The thing that struck me was how windy it wasn't. I expected a blast of
air to rush in, but it was really very pleasant.
