BB has taken a bit of a hammering lately. Some good posters have been killed or are currently missing in action.

I'd like you, my band of brothers, to join with me in remembering those posters and making a stand for all that is good, right and proper about this forum by posting the name of someone that may have fallen victim whilst fighting the good fight or just someone you admire for their contribution to this jewel in the internet, this sceptered site... I'll start with...

    Yes, Daviesee, God Rest His Soul.

    If not worthy of a Croix de Guerre, surely we can award him the Croix de L'Ecosse to velcro to his lycra?

    On a personal note, what a honour to be mentioned by the Mighty Seanoconn! I am not worthy.

    Bravo Sean. We'll make a linguist of you yet. You may already consider yourself to be a master with your tongue though. :roll:
    I must be particularly pedantic this morning, as I began to parse your Latin, until I realised what I was doing. :shock:
    I must get out more! :lol:

    That was my first attemp at Latin so don't be too harsh.

    Seriously though, have you tried sexting a lady in French? You can be as perverted as you like and it still sounds romantic :D

    Au contraire, Sean, as Delboy would say. A fine first effort.
    I cannot conceive a more slimey or creepy spectacle than my alter ego (Avatar) being romantic in French.

    Pfft

    I did study Latin at school in the 3rd year.

    I'm presuming its Latin because I remember precisely none of it thanks to an exceptional busty Dutch girl by the name of Gemma. As Latin was not a popular thing by then, the lessons were after school at the local 6th Form, and had kids from the three secondary schools in the town; the mixed I went to, the boys, and the girls school.

    First ever lesson, these two zeppelins entered the room, followed by the prettiest, blondest, most blue eyed thing I'd ever seen. Utterly smitten in the way only possible when you're 13. Can't say I paid attention to any of it after that. I did get her to be my girlfriend, and I got to see and squeeze those almighty assets. She dumped me after a few months, and 24 years later I still wake crying at the injustice of the world.

    A little footnote to this; At 17 I was at college and working part-time in Waitrose. I got on famously with a girl on the Deli counter called Pam. She was great - riotous fun, very attractive, and a great mate. I'd recently split with another girl, and she decided one of her mates was right up my street. Over several Saturdays she convinced me that a blind date was in order - she was convinced me and her mate would hit it off. 'why not come out with her and me and my other half?' said Pam.

    I gave in, and agreed to be collected by Pam's boyfriend on the evening in question. Hopped in the car and went round to collect Pam, where I jumped in the back and we then went round to collect my blind date. We had a meal booked in Brighton - 45 minute drive away.

    You can guess who the blind date was, can't you?

    The second most awkward experience of my life.

    Just ask if you want to hear the most awkward... it's a corker.
