Are there many brits on able2know?

Ha! If I'd have seen that one, I'd have booked it.

I think it's Nent Hall (?), or something like that ?(paperwork's in car)....I'll still ask the barmaid to give me one, though!

No...but that may be the headline in "The Alston Herald" on Monday!

Right....I'm outta here!


Wish me luck and sufficient stamina!


Byeeeee.

RE: SMORGS

Dear Lord Ellpus,

We have been asked by our client: Miss Sarah Libidinous Feckagan, also known by the aforementioned title of 'smorgs', to contact you regarding the matter of besmirchment of the said 'smorgs' on a popular internet site known as Able2Know.

My client would like to make it known to the sundry members of the said site, that she is in no way associated with, in 'off-line' communication with or engaged in coitus (either currently or anticipated) with the member known as Lord Ellpus.

Miss Feckagan would also like to draw to members attention, the intelligent, thought provoking and socially aware nature of her posts to date, as evidence of her good character and the high esteem that she enjoys from her fellow community members.

Any further references to her natural disposition towards smut and extreme slapperdom will not be tolerated by my client. She asks that you, Lord Ellpus further desist from personally messaging her with urgent requests to "shag", "show us your tits" or requests that she 'observe' your self ministrations on web-cam.

Miss Feckagan also begs that you be informed of a previous medical condition, that would make your suggested 'time on her knees' rather difficult to maintain without sufficient padding or the use of a large cushion.

My client wishes you a good weekend and would like to use this opportunity to remind you to bring a corkscrew, suitable water-based lubricant (2 x tubes), plastic sheeting and favoured spatula to the mediation meeting.

Yours faithfully

Well! I niver knew that Smorgs had any sort of decent reputation to be besmirched.!

That solicitor should employ a decent sub-editor.

Niver knew Ellpus had another name - Nevan!

So, since we have a collection of Brits here, can any of you explain the word tetchy? Is it a Pratchettism or is it a British slang?

A solicitor worth his weight would have reminded him to bring gerbils.

I would have thought tetchy had a long and honourable history...just checking...


And yep, it seems so:

tetch·y also tech·y (tĕch'ē)
adj., -i·er also -i·er, -i·est also -i·est.
Peevish; testy: “As a critic gets older, he or she usually grows more tetchy and limited in responses” (James Wolcott).

[Probably from Middle English tache, teche, blemish (influenced by TOUCHY), from Old French tache, teche, from Vulgar Latin *tacca, from Gothic taikns, sign.]




I do not think we need ask where "testy" comes from, do we?

That's pretty much what I thought it was..... but, I thought testy came from testicles.

From the male gonads aka testicles, right?

AHa!

Remember back in the old days, before littlek had her lobotomy, and she would laugh and carry on about testicles?

Remember we all pretended that nothing was happening?

How littlek and testicle-talk were just simply commonplace and we would let her talk and occasionally pat her on the head and say, "Testicles, littlek, nice testicles... so nice.

Those days are gone, my friends.

We can no longer stand by and let this woman rave about testicles uncontested.

She must be stopped!

Where is Dag?

Dag can stop this woman. No one else -- no single A2K member -- can stop this crazy woman from raving about testicles.

Not me,

Not Joe Nation.

Not Kickycan.

Not osso.


No... Dag, and Dag alone, holds the key to stop the flow of littlek testicle banter.

Let us hope that dag shows up soon.

testicles testicles testicles........ testicles testicles testicles testicles...... my cat has no testicles.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'!!!!!!!!!

heeheeheee........ Yep, they were popped out years ago. Like skinning grapes.

I am hurting right now. I never suspected that littlek would jump into the fray and toss out multiple "testicle" utterances.

I was caught unguard.

The woman is clever.

She must be stopped.

stopped like my cat's testicles?

littlek, I am in Boston right now. Can we get together for a sandwich?

Are you? Look around, do you see anything actually open and selling sammies?

There's a vendor on the corner screaming something about "HOT SANDWICHES!! HOT SANDWICHES!!!".

But I am not picking up on the particulars.

Really? What street is that?
