Period people?

[robgil]

Who are those period people getting married on the old moving picture box then?some posh chick marrying baldy?

 

[Gareth Hughes]

Apparently the posh chick's dad was born in Yorkshire. This was mentioned in somewhat awestricken tones on the BBC :roll:

 

[robgil]

He was born? Surely the daughter of a man anything less than generated out of pure godliness and starlight is just a commoner?
I noted the ''for richer or poorer'', the latter isnt really a possibility is it eh? :lol:

 

[Feltwell]

You're safe for a bit Rob, they've all popped back to gran's for some jellied eels and pie & mash now.

 

[robgil]

Or possibly a few brätwurst or a Frankfurter or two?

:lol:

Runs for cover.....

I should think so too - I expect Penners will be along in a bit to point out that bratwurst doesn't have an umlaut.

 

[robgil]

It doesn't?
Shamed in public, Oh the embarrassment.
I shall take my self outside and give myself a right royal talking to , at once.

 

[FamilyWiggs]

Outrageous slurs - off with your heads!

Fairytales do come true.... now all we need to go with our constitutional monarchy is a thumping NO2AV on Thursday, and the natural order of a thousand years will be restored! Me? Progressive? :roll:

It's all relative. Should they ever be reduced to a single palace and three castles their love will remain.

 

[Gareth Hughes]

By all accounts, the groom's father is having this built for them (a new "period property")

Arguably Diana would have been much better off without joining that family.

I thought it was lovely.
Some of the planes just flew over BC on their way home, and the church bells are ringing up from the town.

A bit austere, but I do quite like it.

Well, that's a moot point, actually. Today's word, Bratwurst is indeed umlautfrei. But it's derived from the old Hochdeutsch word, Brät (meaning chopped-up meat), which did have one.

I do so love our learned discussions.

Does that mean it should be späm?

Ahh thank goodness. They can then all jump to upper class status after their temporary middle class era. :roll:

Debatable. It's also said to be derived from brat, meaning fried, which has never had umlauts.

 

[Penners]

Debatable indeed. Hence my mention of "a moot point".

 

[jocelyn plummer]

Seeme to me to be a very mute point.

 

[Penners]

I don't think any of us on this forum could be described as "mute"! (Least of all, moi!)
