It seems to be both a verb and a noun.....

Wooops

- that probably explains why I had so many difficulties with the subject - I only just managed an O level. But it was a few years ago, after all.

It "goes" irregularly no doubt. Too much sitting down can affect ones motion!

Try: Zob- Zob -Zublime
Zublimey - Zublimey - Zublants
Zublimus -Zublimus - whatever they give us
Gets stuck in the seat of my pants.

Ex-Lax should help ! Oh sorry - I thought you typed constipation !

(Who would ever accuse young Plum of being anally retentive ?)

Zob may mean geek in modern CH parlance but it has quite a different meaning in French!! I heard the word inadvertently used once at a cocktail party in Toulon and it had the (young female) guests rolling on the floor - the speaker had no idea what he had just said.

I knew Emma would flip in the end. Too much gin and too many posts. And now she is trying to decline her Latin verbs, I think.

Too much gin? Me??? That's Richard's trick..

Exam was mediocre, just in case anyone is vaguely interested - 1st half brilliant, 2nd half highly debatable.
