What is hacking you off today?

He was brilliant. Having never read the book I can say the whole thing was brilliant, but I understand what you mean.

Not read the book, but did you not think having a pregnant woman in a highly dangerous situation upped the tension?

medal isn't a verb you almighty ****heads

the OED lists examples of using "medal" as a verb as long ago as Byron, in 1822: "He was medalled." And this is Thackeray, writing in the mid-19th century: "He went home medalled by the King."

Language evolves, of course.

But 'medalled' is just ugly.

Sorry, Its just I saw this same argument on another Forum a couple of weeks back and someone provided a link , so I copied the text......

I still hate the phrase though, and the recent use of Podium as a verb too

My rule of thumb has always been four floors. Any more than that and I take the lift.

Exception was working in Spain - no-one in their right mind walks up four flights of stairs in the Madrid summer!

Or in Barcelona.

I made sure I got a lift key when I started an intensive course in July on the second floor.

Mind you,partially rupturing my achilles tendon a couple of years back gives me a good excuse.

Last time I checked, Barcelona was still in Spain. :facepalm:

The re-tarmac of Roots Hall cark park. Nice enough when you turn into it, but why not do the bit where the shop parking is. You are a tightwad Ron, or is it done just for your car's drive to the entrance. It's still like a bomb zone near the shop.

Ha!You should try telling that to some of the more rabid Catalan nationalists.

(We've got a couple coming round this evening.Conversation could get interesting).

Any comment on the fact that whenever I've been there recentlY, (not often I admit), it seems to be zoned, ie BAME drinkers in the public bar and whites in the Saloon?

August in Barna.

Apart from the fact that it's unbearably hot,we had tickets for a Peter King concert last night, that was cancelled at the last minute.

Not only that,wanted to see Miles Ahead yesterday afternoon.Not only was the session also cancelled (and I'd checked in El Pais and online earlier in the day and no info) but the second film on my list, Prawn Sacrifice, had been switched from the nearby sister cinema to replace it,without any prior notice, on its opening day.:angry:

They probably knew you were coming.

Ha! I tend to make my visits there incognito and unannounnced.
