Aw, hell. Just as I was thinking about having another try at my sandwich. Still, could've been worse I suppose. It could've been a sausage and egg sarnie. I'd probably be off them for life.



PS. Does this thread deserve an award for swiftest and furthest off-topic? Somehow, we got from pronunciation and etymology to your nether regions in what, by any sensible measure, has to be record time.

Me????

I'm not the one that raised (as it were) the subject of your gluteus maximus. I was just trying to eat my lunch. Stewart's the one with the rump fixation. I'm the one with the half-eaten sandwich.

Oh bother. I think I just took steak off the dinner menu too. I'm gonna stop reading this thread for fear of starvation.

You want me to be the meat in your sandwich big boy?
Stewart can't help it, he's fancied me for years.

But the wrong one that really really gets to me (esp when listening to audio books) is "urbs" it pronounced "Her-b-s" because there's an H at the front.
If you're going to drop your h's then at least do it correctly don't just drop it from one word.

While we're here.

H = Haitch or aitch

Me, I'm an aitch man myself, and haitch pees me off a lot

Aye. I 'ate it when you 'ave to spend a 'orrible 'alf 'our explaining to the 'erberts in an Hotel why you 'ave too many 'erbs on your baked 'alibut.

'onestly!

[MSIC]

'onestly!

/\ Can you do that? Drop a 'h' that's already silent.
I sense some sarcasm here....
Now go hijack someone elses thread, you rump-seeking lot.
