50 years?? So this advice is as old as the hills, but people are STILL struggling to tell them apart?!?PedallingSquares wrote: ↑6 Sep 2022, 5:51pmThat may be correct as I'm remembering what my grandad told me when I was a lad.It could also have slight regional variants?He's been dead over 40 years so it's probably nearer 50 since I last heard the phrase!DaveReading wrote: ↑6 Sep 2022, 2:41pmNormally rendered as "weaselly recognised", which isn't quite such a verbal contortion ...PedallingSquares wrote: ↑5 Sep 2022, 11:39amOne is weaselably bigger and the other is stoatally different!

Remembering Alan Coren's favourite misprint this morning: "It was meant to read 'she peered at herself in the mirror' but they left the R out".
Have we got time for another cuppa?

I found a PDF of Navy News from 1967 whist looking for my old ship HMS Sirius.

I was in the pub this afternoon with a mate who is a 75yo ex-RAF, and I'm ex-RN rapidly approaching a (youthful) 70.
Saw this, and I laughed and laughed!

I was kind of hoping that there would be a word to describe the last sound someone makes as the cliff edge they are standing on starts to crumble.The older I get the more I’m inclined to act my shoe size, not my age.

Surprisingly there is a word "AA" (a type of lava) and also "AI" (a type of sloth) and both are valid in the UK
Presumably "EE" would be accepted in Yorkshire, only the "O" to use then

Cleaned the parrot cage out this afternoon.
We get given newspapers by folk, and the parrot has the Daily Mail at the moment, dated Oct 16 2020.
The papers get opened and the double pages line the cage.
Page 14 versus Page 83.
Made me giggle!
What happened to the "missing" 1,000?
