Report Abuse | | I only eat things that are puns of well known fish.
Actually, I've just looked up what kedgeree is. Curried haddock, eggs and rice sounds absolutely delicious. I'm still starving through, so tripe and onions sounds delicious at the moment. |

Report Abuse | | I've just taken a few moments out of my busy day to look on Wikipedia at the exciting subject of palindromes. I must confess to always having had a fascination for palindromes, but that's neither here nor there. I've found an interesting collection of palindromic sentences from other languages, which I thought sounded interesting in English, or at least a lot more interesting than the rest of my afternoon so far:
Therefore, "Bor edra gråvita fat i vår garderob?" in Swedish, as I'm sure Wolfie could tell us, translates to the excellent "Do your grey-white plates live in our wardrobe?"
"Moze jutro ta dama da tortu jezom" in Polish, as I'm sure Cocktail could tell us, translates to the equally surreal "Perhaps tomorrow this lady will give hedgehogs a cake"
Estonian sounds an excellent language: "Kuulilennuteetunneliluuk" means "The hatch of the tunnel of ballistic trajectory" and "Aias sadas saia" means "it was raining white bread in the garden"
To think we are stuck with the deadly dull, "Able was I ere I saw Elba".
Does anyone else have any favourite palindromic words or sentences? Probably not, thinking about it.

Report Abuse | | That plate design is a real turn-on Wolfie. I wish you wouldn't do it to me. Whatever you do don't post any pudding dishes of the Late Eighteenth Century. That would be TOO much. |

Report Abuse | | I think we should be discussing something wholesome like palindromes, not naughty plates and indecent pudding dishes. |

Report Abuse | | No, I shall resist. I WILL resist! I shall satisfy all my desires by memorising a few Spanish palindromes instead:
Dábale arroz a la zorra el abad" (The abbott was giving rice to the vixen)
"La ruta nos aportó otro paso natural" (The route provided us with another natural passage)
"Anita lava la tina" (Anita cleans the bathtub)
Mmmmm, nice! |

Report Abuse | | So I had a very pleasant stroll around Wotton earlier today, visiting locations of recent discussions about Madam Moore's Well, the proposed old people's home and the picnic area. A few observations and nosey questions from my travels:
Nice to see the alpacas back in the field in Coombe. Seem quite friendly
Swans in the pond are genuine not artificial, also seem moderately friendly.
Does anyone know what's happening to 1 Valley Road, the House straight in front where the road splits with Valley Road turning left and the approach to CPC going straight on. Window missing at front, door open at back. Not the most attractive building, but still a shame to see it in disrepair.
Location of Madam Moore's Well; I'm still a bit confused. Was it at the back of the property that has MMW sign on it?
Drains in Synwell Lane always seem to have water running in them. Is it a natural water course, or just people flushing their toilets a lot?
Seems to have been a fire recently in small building next to Full Moon. Any further details?
Think that was it. |
