Word of the day

[Anthony Darby]

I heard an interview with Richard Dawkins on the radio. He was talking about the youth of today and baseball caps and said if he saw someone wearing a baseball cap that person's IQ dropped by 20%; if it was on backwards, it dropped another 20%! I can see his point.

[Lesley Cox]

Maybe another 20% for wearers of hoodies, judging from the CCT footage of the UK riots.

The word of my day begins with B. The rubbish collection man didn't have the arm thingy properly positioned and it has dumped the contents of our bin on the road, leaving us (me) to clean it up.

I got 4 first time

A honest man :-) 4 is quite normal.

I got 3 the first time! 

I love the Fiordland story.  I picked up the acronym as I read through it and was already laughing before I got to the end.  Most unfortunate.

You don't need all those long words!
Here are two sentences in Norwegian. Two schoolboys met and the one said: "Æ e i A æ". The other answered: "Æ e i A æ å!". It's dialect, StephenB will understand

You wouldn't say that google doesn't understand Norwegian dialects? It is very similar to English too

"æ" = I, "e" = am, "i" = in, "A" = (class) A; "å" = too!
This was the first I learnt in school, I was in A too and had a teacher speaking this dialect
