Just to clear it up DM, it's 'B', but I do have a Greek cousin, perhaps that's who you might be thinking of?

As for the pronunciation, I think both your interpretations have charm and I'd answer to either, which are different of course to the one that I intended.

And thanks to yourself, JL and SteveT for the kind words.

I'm currently standing here blushing, twisting my hands behind my back and fixing my gaze on my shoes. All the while telling you that I'm not worth it.

It was how I was taught to take compliments by the priests.

I'm going with Hoipolloi for the shoe in the recycling bin.


I genuinely spat tea over my monitor when I read that, to many a bemused look from my colleagues, which all gave rise to a most entertaining thread (D_C the tea came out of my nose to your festival inferno post).

Hope she's coping with the Type 2 fear today.

Thanks JL, it's good of you and if I had hair I'd be blushing to my roots at your kind words.

Sean, thanks for that, about da wimmin but there's a surefire cure fer dat, one room, me, dem and foive minets. Dey'll be runnin' screamin' into de noight. Fer sure. Whoiy wouldn't dey?

Hoipolloi created great fun, I don't think it's always the better for being a true, but in this instance it was.

But I'm going with *Bob*. I was unaware of the 'tea' thread before it got lounged as I hardly stray outside ED Goss and Lounge sections, a great ruse and deftly and hliariously teased on.

    • Thank Andrew I'll give them a call  Bob S
    • We just had to have a fair bit of roofing done, along with new guttering and facia replacement (swapping out wooden for pvc) Also chimneys needed repointing & had problems with a large roof light. we didn’t know why we had damp in certain parts of the living room & turns out water was getting in via damaged chimneys. we ended up using vintage roofing and building ltd, & have to say they did a great job, scaffolding went up and work started straight away, they were pleasant & respectful of our property, & tidy. they showed us videos of the damage before starting work, & of the work after it was completed. And we have a 20 year guarantee. We live in a Victorian semi  happy to PM you how much it cost us
    • I’ve been hearing a beeping sound that goes off every 45 - 60 secs 24 hours a day for a few weeks and can’t work out where it’s coming from. You can hear it all the way down the road and I can hear it when I’m at home and it’s starting to drive me a bit crazy, so would love to figure out what it is.    Anyone else noticed it?
