Dear gransnet

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.

"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..

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

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

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

Precisely galen!
It's the Latin, innit

Well roots are radical!

Aaaaaagh
Too radical for me Galen

Going back to Janea's problem.
Cut it it all off down to the roots
Buy a wig
Let it all grow out in your actual colour ( or color even)

Sounds good rosesarered, make that one for me too

A double entendre please with ice and lemon.

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

Pompa Like Norfolk. Very flat.

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

Looks like I read more into it than I should

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.

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

Sad

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

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

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.......

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

Absolutely adore them Ana

Semantics and pedantry - don't we just love 'em?

I think my meaning was quite clear Absent. I'll accept that your post wasn't 'serious' and that this is what passes for humour in your world
