For Jude --- it being Nisan ----- a blessed Pesakh to you and your Family !

Personally, I prefer Datsun !

To quote Dick Emery -------- "OOOH -- you are Awful " !




Somebody is bound to ask "Who's Dick Emery ?" ------ Sic transit gloria !

(Gloria's been sick in the Transit !)

Thank you, my 'orthodox' boss is on leave currently and has been on the phone on adaily basis nad has been ending his call with something incomprehensible. I know now, thanks to the learned OB walking these ethereal halls, that he may well have been saying Pesakh!! Or of course, he might not, he is Cornish after all!!

Shadrach, Meshach or Adenego?

(Where in my brain did THAT come from?)

I seem to remember that the last regular Cornish speaker died only a few decades ago. What a pity that Kernewek (Cornish) and Deunansek Koth (Devonian) have virtually died out. Does he say something like s' euuil? If so, be happy that he is happy.

Not quite but as there are under 50's on the forum I mustn't correct you. As a clue the first two letters are to

Abednego (typo not illiteracy)

I remember when I was a very short person that it was "Shadrach, Meshach and To-bed-we-go!!!"

I've recently become fascinated reading about Hassidic Judaism in Reva Mann's brilliant memoir "The Rabbi's Daughter - A Truue Story of Sex, Drugs and Orthodoxy".

Therefore, I have added the Jewish Chronicle to my daily newspaper perusal.

Look! On the front page you are referred to one of those video thingies entitled "The 10 Plagues - Reimagined if Moses had an iPhone"!

It's...divine!!!! Tee hee.

Therefore, I have added the Jewish Chronicle to my daily newspaper perusal.

I once met a former member of World War Two Bomber Command - one of the crew of a Lancaster. A Jew, on every mission over Germany he took six milk bottles, six copies of the previous week's Jewish Chronicle and some sticky tape. On the outward trip he inserted one copy of the newspaper into each bottle and taped up the open end - he said it helped to pass the time. Then, once the bombing was completed and they were on the return leg he would throw bottles out of the flare chute each time they flew over a German town. As each bottle left the aircraft, he muttered, in Yiddish, of course, "who's the master race now, you ********?"

I like that. A class act.

I always thought that Abednigo had a code id de nose !

A smashing story, Foureyes!
