IN RESPONSE TO THE ENGLISH/AMERICAN-ENGLISH/BRITISH THREAD

Well I do hope you feel a lot better for it try again. (That was not an invitation btw)

Steve rites, "…(That was not an invitation btw)"

b.t.w.
Between The Worlds is a major interfaith esoteric conference sponsored by the Assembly of the Sacred Wheel, a Wiccan non-profit religious organization.This conference is an opportunity to experience deep learning and moving rituals from a wide range of esoteric paths and traditions.

Okdokey don't invite me to yorn shindig.

"The force of gravity is proportional to the inverse square of the distance between the objects. Therefore if the distance halves the gravitational attraction between the object and the cg of the earth will increase. The object would weigh more, but its specific gravity would be measured as the same."

I knowed it allreddy.

Between The Worlds is not an annual event. The last Between The Worlds was held in May of 2000 and the next one after this one will be in December of 2007.

Avoid the rush - book now!

Noble sentiments indeed ta

But no use tagging onto me. I know nuffin. Just make it all up as I go along.

If you want to do some serious lernin search out the true adepts

Setanta is pretty good, most of the time - when I agree with him. And Walter Hinteler is a true master, once you understand the dialect.

Ha. I'll remember that. Especially the undertone.






:wink:

Undertone is everything Walter, with those cheeky Limeys.

Let's clear something up here . . . Steve, do you now or have you ever sucked on limes?

I suppose, only when marinated in gin

Well, Walter, as long as he's not drinking Pink Ladies . . .

As long as Labour's colour is red and doesn't change it to pink, there's no danger, I think ...

Quite right walter. Only when infused with gin and tonic and ice and sometimes (whisper it...vermouth).

But not any more. Now I am on a health kick. Got 2 hours to do in the gym right now..so if you never hear from me again, you know why.

I understood btw that the term limey came from the lime-lights used in theatre in the early days of last century. (It was actually calcium sulphide I think).

It emitted a brilliant and very white light and made anyone who wasnt made up appear a deathly white colour.

But just what this had to do with Brits I dont know.


I am attempting to avoid the pink ladies these days Set. Very bad for the complexion you know.

Perhaps, Set, this could all be done away with permanently by getting George W to pass a law changing the official language of the USA from English to American. Then it doesn't matter how you or I spell cheque, as we are using different languages?

I assure you, GD, that the Shrub's intellectual involvement in subtleties of language in our family a languages is nil. I rather doubt that he is even aware of differences such as cheque/check, centre/center, etc. Simply as a personal matter, if the Shrub made such a law, i'd find a way to violate it--even if it meant misspelling everything as do the brits . . .

Steve, i had always read, and in no way assert as a fact, that Limey's were referred to in that manner by 'Mericans because the RN issued limes to their enlisted men as an anti-scorbutic. Hence, 'Merican sailors woud see them "sucking on limes."

Someone wrote, "What is an ex English teacher
one who now teaches Geography
one who is now French but teaches English sometimes
one who is ex in the sense of being shuffled off this mortal coil?
one who is ex is the sense of being exhumed?

Or all four above?"

I'mah not ritely nowin. Some say he is a knight in shining armour, sitin on a magnificent white horse helpin fallen maidens.

Than ther is others who tell how he is a monster 8 feet tall and madder than a polecat.
I aint about to say, caus I aint never seen him. But, I knowed that iffin youall whisper his name in the dark it do friten the young uns.

I'ma obliged for your introduction to Setanta who is well noed in thes parts for his poor recall as two the worddin on all state monuments.

As for Walter Hinteler I am sayin howcome no one and I mean noone has ever badmouthed him? I mean it aint natural for a person to be liked by everybody is it?

I waz gonna ask him, wheres I can git another autograph of Guy Gibson of the Dam Busters. I git one signed at the Potstan conference, and avha hankerin for another.

Well I think that solves the problem of who's been drinking around here.

Set you're quite right. The navy did issue limes to combat scurvy.

Well, i spek' everbody knows i cain't re-call no monument 'scription cuz i'z al-uz got a skin-full whenever i bothers ta read 'em ay-tall.

Ol' Walter's pretty nigh loved by everbody, 'cept them ol' crypto-nazi Hitler lovers as shows up from time to time . . .

My dear Setanta, how delightful it was to read your witty ripost.
May remind you that should you be confronted by perpetration in its various forms, perpetuating testimony should be your guide.
