Is this a repeat programme or a reprise performance?It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

I don't watch that quiz, but at least I know who she is. "Celebrity" tends to mean "someone you've never heard of".Comment

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

Look you one time classicists, its fifty years since I did Latin O level, but I think 'Satis verborum' means 'Enough words' or 'Satieted with verbiage' or something like that. If it doesnt will a better scholar enlighten me?Comment

... do we think that Stanfordian was thinking of 'verb: sap:', ie 'verbum satis sapienti' - a word is enough for the wise, viz, 'know what I mean, nudge nudge'...Originally posted by umslopogaas View PostComment

I have to confess that when first I heard of CB-H I thought that it was a firm of solicitors, appeals for clemency and all - which just goes to show how wrong one can be...Last edited by ahinton; 20-10-16, 04:00.Comment
