Featherstonehaugh is my favourite. Pronouncing British names. "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | ||

Ditto! I enjoyed it. You English people really have odd pronunciations. | |||

Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life. | |||

As opposed to taking them out? It was our language first! "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | |||

Ah...Proof, you should talk. Those Northeasterns aren't much different from the Britons. | |||

Indeed you did... in the same way that my father once "improved" our house by painting one of the exterior walls bright red; paint that though faded, was still there when I tried to sell the place thirty five years later and couldn't be removed by any means known to science. That paint put off a good half of my potential buyers. (The other half believed me when I said they'd be able to remove it... I lied.) "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money."

Both your accounts are funny! And they remind me of my mother who liked to carpet everything when she had leftover carpeting, from the bathroom floor (gross when you think about it) to the steps on our step stool. We have found the most interesting things carpeted! | |||
