Guest Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Come on Helen, what does it mean then? it's very similar to the motto I started with.. Vah! Denuone Latine loquebar? Why does everything sound more important in Latin? as for the other.. Semper en(idem?/in?) excretum, solo profundum variat. Always in *doo-doo*, only the depth varies Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellcat Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Very close, Phil! Oh! Was I speaking Latin again? Always in the ****, only the depth varies. The boss REALLY didnt like that one! Although I did feel like I was always in trouble... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Word of the day - **MONDAY** Blibula n. The spot on a dog's stomach which, when rubbed, causes his leg to rotate wildly. Phil Both of my bears have these!!! Just on their necks by the collars!!! (not on tummy as described!) Who are the 'bears'? Hi Helen The bears are our dogs Teddy & Poppy but collectively they are known as 'The Bears'. Kind of like Mel calls hers Woggles but ours are Bears.

Sheilaz Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Thanks for the thought, Ginette! I really do intend to learn, but I think I'll see if my son has his old schoolbooks. You can get just about anything on ebay though, can't you? By the way, Ginette, you could have posted a word for today! Mmmm...anyone? WEDNESDAY ?

Guest Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 we've missed a few - so two words for today!! (alternative definitions...) Contraband: U.S. backed, counter-revolutionary orchestra Wisteria: Laughing till you wet yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Good ones! (I can understand them too!!!) I heard quite a good contraband today at a school play. Not quite your definition, but if you interpret contra as 'the opposite of' or 'against'. With the 2 trumpets which weren't bad we had a cellist who probably has never tuned her strings to the right notes and a trombonist who had difficulty finding the right positions on the slide. Result: definitely contraband in a 'I want to scream STOP!' kind of way! (I'm not really being rude, the eldest was 11 and they did really well, it just didn't sound very pleasant) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Nice one Richard! Can we have two words for the day? My favourite one is Roomnesia Forgetting what you went into that room for (I do it all the time ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard T Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Nice one Richard! Can we have two words for the day? I don't see why not. We missed yesterday. Is there a separate word for "Roomnesia" when it occurs on the stairs and not only can you not remember what you were looking for, but you can't remember whether you were going up the stairs to get it or down.

Richard T Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 You chaps coming to the Omlet summer do then Richard? I've almost asked on several occasions for you to put us on the tbc list, but with the uncertainty over the house buying and all that, we're still not sure. And did I see that there is to be a one man band? That has massive appeal for me. Not so for Wendy. She'll be taking my photo around all the music shops and saying, "Do not sell knee-cymbals to this man!" Richard T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 You did see right Richard, although I'm not sure it's the sort of one man band you have in mind, can't give any further details as it's still not yet confirmed. You've got to come - just a short trip up the M40.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard T Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 We were up that way last summer for a wedding in Harbury and stayed at a trave lodge at Warwick services. The M40 is the easy bit. It's getting across/around London that makes it a pain. As a consequence of thinking about one man bands I've now got the Bonzo's "Urban Spaceman" song going around my head, which suggests another word of the day: Cranihum - a tune you can't get out of your head.
