Yeah, I've still got 5 arms and a barnacle encrusted lower half from the last warpstorm attempt. U Boat and Mules it is! Put the kettle on in 5 or 6 weeks and I'll bring the Jaffa cakes.

Turpedo tube 3 was submerged about 3 weeks ago, remember?
Medical Bill brought me his mini Mini tool to clear it all out.

At least now we know what clogged the tube...

I hereby declare this thread off the rails!  :D
Wait, we are still talking about grammar and language, so its still fairly close to the original subject. Considering this is MT.O, I would think that with over 200 replies, that just might be the longest thread where we stayed precisely on topic. :P
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

Funny, the one word I didn't have in my vocabulary, "musings" from the original title, seems to be derived from the Greek word "Mousa". It's the same word "music" comes from. I'll add it now I that I know what it means. MTO makes me speak better English as it seems.


On the other hand, all the dialogue (or dialog???  ??? , another Greek word btw) about torpedo tubes and such, is completely incomprenhensible.

See also Appletreewick, Slaithwaite, Belvoir [castle], Magdalen [college], Leominster, Mousehole, Alnwick, Fowey, Cholmondley...

OK - I know some of these - Let us know the rest H / Brits ....

Ap??; Sl??;  Bee-ver; Moor-dlin; Lemster; Mows-ul ('ow' as in " 'ow' - That hurt ! " - or even mouse!! ;) ) ;  Annick;    Foo-ee;  Ch???

And of course a famous Scottish one: Edinburra  - And where I come from - as already mentioned in this thread  -  Woostershuh

Any more anyone  ???


PS. I realised how inconsistent and difficult English pronunciation and grammar really is when my firstborn son started to speak.
He conjugated sentences and pronounced words the 'logical' way and following patterns of other words he knew
- Which sadly of course - was all wrong !! :(

Why is this ??? - Once again Merriam Webster to the rescue .....
Many languages just have one root - However English has many and has borrowed from ancient languages from all over the place.
