If I'm going to get in before the end of "seasonal cheer, Silly Season", it
had better be now...
{Readers trying to improve their English please ignore my "contributions" to
this list - it's a case of trying to make a virtue out of a vice :>)}
=======================
J' awl remember -
Yes! it's the season for another Dave ("his and hers QL Dave") and Latin
story.
Dave was recently in a "Latin Inscriptions" theme pub - somewhere in UK.
<cut>
Of corse! it Z "Go now! before you wet your trousers..." !
<cut>
Aynee learnids on the list cair to azard wot the originull inscripshun
sayd? (Sorree, no prizis.) ?
-----------
Learnid Tony was the only one to shed(!) a little light on the matter with -
-
A Latin word for 'Gents'
Mascularum?
... but I failed Latin O level twice - my onlt one (8-)#
--
Well, yer can't expect to sing the Saint Matthew Passion and master Latin
can yer..!?
Thanks Tony.
-
The pub, I am now able to reveal, is near Oxford, England and the
inscription, I am assured (I'm no Latin scholar either) is -
"Ne tamdiu cunctatus sis ut in bracas tuas meias."
================
I was amused to hear someone say recently "If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd
have no luck at all!" and Robert's <hastily rushes back to shallow end of
pool :-)> sure made me smile!
I'll not stretch your collective patience any more now, another little
Willie Story will have to wait - (blame Dennis - he said -"I don't
understand half of the posts on here, but this one I get. =8-)"
Back to work....
