Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: Nov. 23 2006, 22:53 Inkanta-Incantations is the soundtrack of my life; after concocting the nickname I realised it contained the word "Inka," which is how the Inkas spell "Inca" in the new Quechuan orthography (and "Quechuan" isn't spelled that way any more, coming to think of it)--I loved learning about Inkaic astronomy and the many ways we humans see the sky and how it has influenced the way we craft and organize our societies; besides, I really like k's. <-: -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist."

clotty Group: Members. Posts: 237 Joined: Mar. 2006 Posted: Nov. 25 2006, 03:28 I wish I could tell you that there was deep meaning behind my username. However, it is simply that ever since I had thrombosis about 14 years ago, a good friend of mine has called me Clotty :-) -------------- Clotty Back to top

There is no "right" one, I am adding this post to communicate my thoughts to share them with like-minded souls who will be able to comment in good nature.

Alan D Group: Members Posts: 3670 Joined: Aug. 2004 Posted: Nov. 25 2006, 09:05 I don't think leering is necessarily a saucy activity Arron (though it could be in certain circumstances). More generally, I think it's an 'I'm up to no good' kind of thing. (If I were leering at Andy, it definitely wouldn't be saucy! ) Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of 'to leer': to cast a sidelong glance. Now I hardly ever do that, though I might twirl my moustache in a sinister kind of way. If I had one. Besides, I explained the real origin of my name in an earlier post. Andy's just making all that leering stuff up. Really. Back to top

Can you give us an example of Dutch humour? (If that's where you are from) I remember the nun jokes a while back & they were very funny. Would you describe English humour as typically 'Monty Python', slightly odd maybe or having as sense of irony? I think it is different, but it must vary within cultures too. For instance I have never found clowns very funny, the kind you see at a circus with painted faces, they always scare me, even now. I find them a bit sinister. And 'slapstick' humour, when someone falls over a lot or gets hit by a plank of wood just leaves me cold. But anything with words or a story that builds immediately makes me take notice.

English humour, yes, I think of Monty pyton, dry humour. Very nice I think, like that Little Britain series. Very nice! Dutch humour... hmm... let me see .... I have a friend who often says 'pull my finger' and then he farts. I really hope that's not the standard for Dutch humour hehehehe... But I can't think of an example. Holland does have many comics, many talk about social/political issues -------------- "And now we're going to play Platinum!" Back to top

I think you have spotted the difference between Dutch and British humour well there, because of course, in Britain we have to press someone's nose rather than pull their finger to make them fart. ;-) -------------- Clotty Back to top
