The post was aimed at a "certain" person..............:laugh:
 
Must have missed something... I'm sure he'll be along shortly. :D

My old Latin teacher Mr Burrows would have been proud of you. :lesson:

Actually the old chap, long gone now I'm sure, had a wicked sense of humour.

He had 6 children and his house was called "The Warren"! :laugh:

Yes, really. :smashin:
 
:blush:
The missing word was abii.
I was always better at declining than conjugating though.

Mine was White and his black gown always was white with chalk.
Maybe J K Rowling had heard of yours - the Weasley family live at The Burrows and had six children.

My Latin Master (yes, it was a grammar school !) was Mr Riley.

He was already ancient when I was 11 years old (very nearly 50 years ago); but was still going strong when I saw him at the funeral of my old Headmaster a few years ago.

Mr Riley used to growl when he spoke (but, more likely, yelled !), and he spoke with a slur, as well; so it wasn't until I saw it written down that I realised that the correct spellings for the declension of 'bellum' (war) were NOT blum, blum, blum; blee, blow, blow; blah, blah, blah; blorum, bleece, bleece.

Happy days !
 
No "teachers" at mine either, but we didn't include the vocative.:)

And another thread that doesn't get deleted/moved because the MOD has an interest.

"O.T." "wrong forum" ???? nah, not when it suits eh?

MOD: feel free to move/delete if this post contravenes the rules or is O.T. or in the wrong forum...:)

Just a little light hearted banter between the regulars, and one of the strengths of a Forum that could be deadly dull if we stick to answering technical queries.

You don't have to read the thread, of course... :)

"Interest"? - No, an education.

As The Master says:-
..there is no question in my mind that it is not and was never intended to be where the sky service discussions should be located.

I think there is an "only" missing there.
 
Paul D: Tolerance is a characteristic of an educated person, and you saw what S N just said.;)
To whom it may concern: A sense of humour is another.
 
I haven't reaped anything in ages.................:laugh:
 
It's never to late to sow though, especially wild oats.
And, of course, Krêtes aeì pseûstaia anyway.

Some limitation.
Coincidentally that quotation came up on University Challenge, in a question about paradoxes.
A philosopher from Crete said "Cretans always lie".
Aesop agreed: "A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth".

Aha! Κρητικοί βρίσκονται πάντα. I haven't noticed many liars but the truth is sometimes bent to serve their purpose!

How kritikal are the Krikitoi?
