Back on topic, one of my favourite english words is 'asunder', as in "torn asunder". It sounds so dramatic. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

I brought that word up once before and it seemed to evoke quite an emotional response from some of you. Saw on the news today he's gonna take 5 people to "inner space", not even outer space. Just enough to be weightless for 5 minutes. Wonder who these 5 people are and how much they are paying. Every time I hear about him and the word "Virgin", I hear Tubular Bells(1). They call him Sir now. Why? What did RB do? Is England a utopia now because of him? Just curious. Jim Branson translated into French means nothing , but Oldfield yes ! ... Old field = vieux champ ...   Back to top

Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1980 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: July 30 2008, 04:01 Sounds like silicosis of the lung to me. Yeah I'm a smartass, but then tubularians have come to expect that. It's all in good fun. If you sand blast too much or work in other occupations where you breath a lot of sand(silicon), you get this. Am I right? Am I right?? Am I right???
