Dear gransnet

Absent you should leave the double entendre to me, it is expected from a Pompa.

Call me thick but I don't get the "double entendre" or is this an "in" joke? - Fairly new to this game so don't be too hard on me.......

I don't get it either, Jomarie - I think it's just pompa having one of his senior moments...

Woman goes into a bar, "what can I get you" ? " I'll have a double entndre" so he gave her one ...boom,boom

Sad

Thanks Harrigan for the explanation - and to Ana for making me feel like I'm not the only one,,,,,,

Jomarie I don't know what double entendre was meant either – and pompa's post was addressed to me. However, as discourteous comments have already been made about semantics (I don't get that one either) and pedantry, I didn't ask.

Looks like I read more into it than I should

Absent, it wasn't meant to be discourteous, it was a joke that fell flat.

Pompa Like Norfolk. Very flat.

pompa I wasn't referring to your double entendre comment, which clearly isn't at all discourteous.

A double entendre please with ice and lemon.

Sounds good rosesarered, make that one for me too

Going back to Janea's problem.
Cut it it all off down to the roots

Aaaaaagh
Too radical for me Galen

Well roots are radical!

Precisely galen!
It's the Latin, innit

Don't ask me. Got 23% at o level

That's 21% more than me! I think I only got the 2% for writing my name on the top of the paper

Gallia est omnes divisi in partes tres......and it's all downhill from there!

"De Bello Gallico" eh Katek? I did Latin to "A" Level, because you had to if you wanted to read English at university. But my first offer was for an A and a pass (those were the days) so English and French won over Latin! Got a D..

How did you cope Ariadne?!? I took Latin until O level and by the time I reached that point I was losing the will to live! De Bello Gallico and Virgil's Aeneid were our set texts for 1966 exams.
