What's the comma[^] for?

Structure.
If you've been taught that commas exist for any purpose other than structure, clout your teacher upside the lughole.
(And, BTW, wikipedia is not a trusted source on matters of grammar and linguistics.)

I just got an e-mail from a recruiter that showed intelligence, vision and understanding. It was, obviously, written by her and not a standard pro-forma. No spelling mistakes and GOOD IDEAS AND TIPS regarding the interview she's lined up for me.
Jeez, this must signal the apocalypse. Run! Run I say!

Unfortunately, it's not a one off. She has been consistently professional and extremely helpful. Should things work out for me and she doesn't get sacked for bringing the profession into disrepute I will definitely share her details for anyone who is searching in the future.
Should there actually be a future.

She must be new to the industry.

Dump that trifle you're currently hanging out with and marry the girl, for heaven sake. You can't let one like that get away. I know of a good, discrete supplier of, ahem, restraints if you need them.

I think it is.....I happened to look up at the CCTV of the helideck and noticed what appeared to be carbon flakes fluttering past in random directions. Now, we have a really big orange flare at the moment so this was quite feasible so went out to investigate with the HSE guy as didn't obviously want potentially burning embers dropping onto the platform.
Gets outside and starts heading to the helideck and noticed it was tiny spuggies (Sparrows) circling the platform and around the flare. It was very 'Hitchcock - Birds' as they were flying really close/at you, landing on the decks/handrails etc.
In all my years never seen anything like that out here. Don't know if the low visibility coupled with no wind was causing them problems on some migration path or if it is indeed the end of the world. (We will blame the recent solar flare!)

I take it you haven't heard about the juniper blight that's threatening to wipe out the entire species within the next 5 years?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That story is the worst of humanity, the scrote who started the fire, and the best of it, those who immediately started raising money, turned up with supplies and things to help with the rescued animals, except that you then start to think would there have been such a response to a fire in a place housing loads of people instead of dogs, and the answer to that I think would have been a no.

I agree. If it'd been a codgers' home, there would be lots of 'oh shame!' going on but little action. Serial killers and lovable doggies however get all the sympathy and monies.

A pig factory (or whatever they're called) holding a few hundred pigs burnt down a couple of years ago.
I was disappointed the reporter didn't say "A spokesman for the fire service described the situation as 'delicious'".

There were reporters when you joined a barbarian horde to sack Rome?

There used to be pig farm not far from us and all the kids went to our school. On a good day the smell of BACON was overpowering!

Jesus Jimny that's bad. I hope they throw the book at the little scrote. And by book I mean breezeblock. And by breezeblock I mean axe.
