I'll go along with that - Aquila non capit muscas..

Interesting thought - I wonder if you know the definition of "bigot"; that statement seems to fit the bill rather well. With all due respect, I think I'd be rather proud to hold opinions that folks like you don't respect.....

Interesting question. Presumably you do understand what it means or you wouldn't react so rudely, so your journey through life hasn't yet taught you that other folks might have an equally valid outlook or that social media already has enough self-appointed policemen. It was just a throwaway...

Best joke this week! 😎

Having had two Rangies and a Disco before I even decided to stop punishing myself, that's unfortunately NOT a joke! :cool:

It was a donkey the first time I heard it..... :cool:

I was brought up speaking French and went to uni there - that's just background to what comes next :) I lived for quite some time in an off-grid house on a mountain in the Pyrenees and my nearest neighbour, about a hour's trek away, was a local goat farmer cum cheese maker who had somehow ended...

I think that if you look at the study more closely you'll find that it said "should have" rather than "had".... :cool:

Sucking lemons, by the look of it ... :cool:

I'd say that both the context and the meaning of what you wrote were perfectly clear. There may have been a disconnect between what you wrote and what you wished to convey, but expecting someone to guess your meaning isn't much of a way of getting a point across...

So it's a "virtue" to have a leadership team composed of superficial fools and incompetent villains? That's lucky - it's exactly what we have now.... :rolleyes:

And you feel that the same doesn't apply elsewhere? Where is Lucky Lucan when you need to make a point like this - and are public executions of Brazilian electricians still acceptable in the UK?

My father and brother were steadfastly monoglot, speaking only English. My mother spoke English fluently, but she and I normally conversed in her native language or in French. Mealtimes were a hoot - sentences would often start in one language and finish in another. As you might guess, the main...

The barely-literate hacks at the DM already generate enough "fertiliser" to run all the major airlines and air forces in the world.... :rolleyes:

The problem with the "Education-Intelligence" one is that far too many people have neither, but still think that they're "smart", usually boasting that they've attended "The University of Life" for decades without ever coming close to graduating. :cool: No-one ever does graduate, of course...

The Last Kiss Back on January 9th, a group of Pekin , Illinois bikers were riding west on I-74 when they saw a girl about to jump off the Murray Baker Bridge . So they stopped. George, their leader, a big burly man of 53, gets off his Harley, walks through a group of gawkers, past the State...

Just my ha'porth here: my workshop is two rooms in the basement of our house. It's underground and part of it is under our upper terrace. It's normally damp all the time and the part of the ceiling under the terrace usually freezes in our -30C or lower winters. I put in a wood burner for heating...

That hits a bit too close to home for my taste! Last summer I'd spent a busy day gardening in the sunshine and gone to bed rather tired. At my age, I seem to be a magnet for skin tags in various places and lying in bed I found myself - as one does - scratching the jolly old Family Jewels sack...

Pálinka, schmálinka! It's a second-rate version of the REAL thing - Ракия :cool: Coincidentally, here's a bottle of the home-made peach version I got from a mate last night.

You're clearly not a fan of Pork and The Havana Ducks :cool:
