Saturday 20-01-2024 – Today’s word is…

Andrew Livingstone

Dear fellow-travellers,

We had a little thought on monday 16th about stepping around the LATIN, do you recall what we were on about?

Here’s another little pearl dropped in early this morning:

:kuppelation = the small-time often bringing big-time results, opportunities and duties

Do drop us a line and let us know what ideas you are getting to build up our new word-chest.

What do readers think should be the new handle for our better lingo?

We think that, if ‘franglais’ is now in the OCD, then ‘deuglish’ [said as doyglish] ought to be OK?

Covid – what’s that?

Andrew Livingstone

You think you’ve got problems when you catch this new ‘pestilence’? Spare a thought for this poor chap, seems to have lived under the same natural law as we do, upset the government of his day, as we do, went about doing no harm, no loss, no injury, just like us, yet three days later he’s up and about again. Best ‘easter’ card ever, I’d say!!

Changing of the guard

Andrew Livingstone

Can you remember the days when our trains always had a ‘guard’? I am about to return from Bedford to Yorkshire, and, when I last did this journey, I found myself in trouble, having mis-typed the return date when booking my ticket. As the ‘guard’ (now styled ‘Revenue Protection Officer’) was getting ready to remostrate with me, I disarmed him, smiling sweetly, with “I’m in my 80th year, and doing my best to keep up with all today’s digital dogma. Now, how would you like to punish me?” I got off with a warning. The young chap one seat forward wasn’t so lucky, a £20 on the spot fine for having used the incorrect ‘discount card’.
