Math / Maths?

Was always a bit confused about that : It is the sole study of a specific subject - so is that singular or plural?.

Eh?

Dos i grafu pen cachi - iawn.
Yin dee krap


What exactly is that language supposed to be? Yen dee, fair enough as used by tout Indian tailors in tourist joints and illegal Banglis trying to sell you nuts of an evening.

Cos' I'd written a repost in phonetic Thai I thought that perhaps you were doing the same. Alas, Ms F and A didn't have a clue either, nor did the Burmese maid. Transpires it is some sort of Welsh.

Oh dear.

I've heard the proposed national anthem - "Baa Baa Black sheep, have you any sisters"

Kaw tawd khrap, jai yen yen....................

Chaucer?

Away with you - you will note that there are considerable changes in modern spelling from Shakespear's time and ours. Chaucer wrote in what is a foreign language these days.

Given when he kept his diaries and that England had been under Norman feudalism for some considerable time, would it be reasonable to assume the dipthong as a literal translation from the French?.

Anyway - back to the subject : Were my nephew, a pleasant enough 21 year old at Uni be daft enough to get pissed at a party dressed in a Nazi uniform, and his face splashed over the press be allowed to join the Mil?.

I doubt it would be put down to 'Youthful high spirits' but a total lack of understanding of any history and the evils commited by that uniform. And surely would be duly punished in court.

Depends who your Granny is I suppose, in the Blighty democracy.

TT2,

If your, pleasant enough, 21 year old nephew to get pissed at a party wearing a Nazi uniform, I doubt very much that anyone would care, let alone publish it in a newspaper. It would not affect his opportunity to join the military, nor, I suspect, would it (in the UK) see him in court. But then again, I suspect that may have something to do with the identity of his granny.

This thread is supposed to be about Prince Harry the soldier. It has been hijacked by TT2 to publicise his ego, bile and ignorance. Can a mod please rid us of this troublesome git?

Actually...

Well, it would, would it not if his face was splashed over the newspapers - given the anti hate legislation in the EU. Goodness, if my long dead Grannies had had any family member ever dressed up in a Nazi uniform they would have been immediately ostracised.

Severe sense of humour about mass murder for political ends. No laughing matter. I met Hun Sen at the Oz Embassy party in 99' - still have his card.
What a nice, smiley little toad he was / is.

We just scoffed the free wine and steak sarnies and ignored the participant in mass murder - would you do that, or make a business connection?.

Like they say.........up to you.

Hmmm...

Interesting reply : You are suggesting that there be no dissention in the ranks but presume to believe in free speech?. Or not?.

I have hijacked nothing, nothing at all but merely stated that there are a bunch of young guys and gals out there gagging for a job driving aircraft / helos but don't get the chance because someone who could not even meet the minimum quals got a position due to family name and PR.

If you actually knew anyone that I know from whatever nation, they will state that I am actually an 'easy ozy' kind of person and have a laugh most days with whatever is going on.

Perhaps one day you can meet me in person and make your own mind up.
Glass or two of wine, some seafood and amenable company - got to be better than cocoa and Emmerdale.

Whatever.
