The letter M derives its shape from the Phoenician Mem, via the Greek Mu (Μ, μ). Semitic Mem probably originally pictured water. It is known that Semitic people working in Egypt c. 2000 BC borrowed a hieroglyph for Water that was first used for an alveolar nasal (/n/, because of the Egyptian word for Water, "n-t". This same symbol became used for M in Semitic, because their word for water began with that sound.

Enough already with the chocolate, Louisiana. Let the ice cream melt.

If you're going to be Chancellor of the Exchequer then the main 'M' you'll have to know is 'Mr/Madam Speaker...I protest'

Consider yourself admonished.

In advance.

Jesus wept Hona, pull your socks up lad. The first letter in Mott the Hoople is a CAPITAL M not low case. Mr Oblivion would be thoroughly disgusted with you if I were to present him with this evidence. Get a grip man!

    • I passed first time at West Wickham, and completed a follow up motorway course. I found Nick via reviews on ED forum and to echo other users, he is a great instructor, calm & friendly and lets you learn by doing without overloading you.  https://nicholas-driving-academy-1.ueniweb.com
    • The birth rate in the UK has dropped significantly from 1.92 in 2010 to 1.56 in 2021. This has an impact on class sizes in state schools which obviously is magnified as kids born in these years come to school age. Looks like all those thousands of ex-private school kids will actually keep our class sizes at a reasonable level: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/education/london-school-closures-places-pupils-falling-birth-rate-b1158175.html (from 16th May 2024) Despite the Telegraph's best efforts, this is a non-issue.
    • It's surprising though that they (France in particular) don't seem to have been paying attention to this side of the Channel and seen how a right wing populist Gov has trashed the UK. That if you vote for 'simple solutions to complex problems' like what Brexit promised, you end up with simpletons in charge. Who then proceed to drive out what remains of any competence/experience to  create an, ecosystem of incompetency for no other reason than they 'believe', promoting the likes of Lee Anderson to party Chair and Truss and Sunak to PM. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?!..    
    • I am back from holiday and just seeing this. This is Zuzia, and she lives with her owner on Lacon Rd. She found her way home safely. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
