stevejp Posted December 28, 2021 Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) My apologies for steering this thread inexorably (back) towards the gutter. On reflection, I have no doubt that @6Foot2’s post was referring in all innocence to the eponymous car suggested by @MrEprise… Edited December 28, 2021 by stevejp

mikeprice Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Must mention this to our boss - he’s talking about re-writing the behaviour policy… Better behaviours policy with clear repercussions for offenders with zero re-offending rate and you cut the food bill from the canteen at the same time! sounds like a winner to me 1

mikeprice Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 [ATTACH=CONFIG]64493[/ATTACH] . OK - I'll do it What happened in 1415???
6Foot2 Posted February 6, 2022 Author Posted February 6, 2022 OK - I'll do it What happened in 1415??? Off-topic (for the thread) answer: Not much! Link: No Dragon Wood – Ramblings ...It had become embedded in family mythology. So when one day I saw that the battered old stile had been replaced by a smart new metal kissing gate, I sensed an opportunity. I tracked down the fellow who administered the Chiltern Society’s Donate-a-Gate scheme, to ask whether a plaque with some appropriate wording could be attached to the new gate. I explained the story, and suggested that a more whimsical inscription might make a change from the many sombre benches and gates in memory of much missed Grandma, who loved to walk in these woods. He was very helpful, and came back to give me the good news that although his scheme was focused on central Buckinghamshire, and the gate was actually a short distance into Hertfordshire, the Society was on this occasion prepared to make an exception and take my money. I consulted my family on the wording, and Rachel came up with an extra line – “No dragon related incidents since 1415” – a phrase heavy with its unanswered question, hinting at the impossibility of proving the negative, flavoured with the frisson of tempting providence... Back on topic?...
stevejp Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) OK - I'll do it What happened in 1415??? Well, as Shakespeare (wished he’d) said… ‘Imitate the action of the dragon’ Sounds much better than ‘tiger’, I reckon… (Mind you, someone’s confusing their Shakespeare - ‘Bottom’ was in Midsummer Night’s Dream, not Henry V…) Edited February 6, 2022 by stevejp
