  1. Good grief, have I really? I hope at least some of them have been useful or entertaining.

    I assume "tractor-trailer" means something different in the USA.

    Do you know what paedophilia means? It means being sexually attracted to PRE-PUBESCENT CHILDREN. You are trivialising the word. Being attracted to post-pubertal teenagers is totally different, and is not unnatural. It is not paedophilia. Neither is having a much younger/older sexual partner, which is something that has been going on since time immemorial. The only people who might be "trying to make paedophilia a normal thing" are paedophiles themselves. If people insist on re-defining the term 'paedophilia' and change its meaning, what do we have left to describe the much more serious, unnatural and disturbing condition of being sexually attracted to PRE-PUBESCENT CHILDREN?

    I wish the trains ran a bit later. I can't go to anything in Brum without staying overnight. Anyway this morning I managed to score a ticket for Robert Plant at the Royal Albert Hall.

    Nobody said otherwise. What's your point? My point was that it is ridiculous to make insinuations of paedophilia when the female involved is 42 years old.

    Why? She's clearly not a pre-pubescent child. She's a mature woman, they've been married for more than twenty years.

    Just had an email from Miele. Apparently the EU is about to stop people from owning decent vacuum cleaners.

    Sir Geoffrey Boycott

    From the OED: boycott, n. and v. Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Boycott. Etymology: < the name of Captain Charles C. Boycott (1832–97), a land agent in Ireland, who was a prominent early recipient of such treatment (with the encouragement of the Irish Land League) in the autumn of 1880. See, for example: 1880 Freeman's Jrnl. (Dublin) 25 Sept. 6/8 The multitude..rushed to Loughmask House, the residence of Captain Boycott, the agent on the estate, and the party against whom the popular ire was chiefly directed, and in a very short time every labourer and servant employed on or around the place was driven off and cautioned not to work there again. The word was rapidly adopted in many other European languages, e.g. French boycotter (1880), German boycottieren (1893; now boykottieren), Dutch boycotten (1904), Russian bojkotirovat' (1891), etc. HTH

    Bruce Forsyth

    Two words: Jerry. Lewis. Strangely enough I had no knowledge of that guy. Never knowingly saw him in any film or TV programme and wouldn't have recognised him if he'd sat down in front of me. The other one, the Great Balls Of Fire chap, now him I did know about.
  18. Is this Napolean complex or simple butthurt? I mean for Christ sake.... an obtuse and bitter response to an otherwise innocent observation. SC "Butthurt". There's that hideous nonsensical word again.

    Cheers. I wasn't blaming anyone, just pointing out something that needed fixing. Might be a good idea to retire this thread at the end of the year, and have a new one for 2018, with first few posts reserved for scoreboard and masterlists like MPFC does.

    Fair comment, but the link on page one goes to number 11 posted on July 1.
