Whilst all you god, football, beer & alfoil fairing types were no doubt enjoying your Sunday, I decided it would be a good idea spending the whole day pulling the Bobcat apart...not that it started out that way.

Saturday was a half day at work loading out a semi and doing some rock breaking, interspersed with the odd passing woodie dropping in to pick up some jarrah from the demolition...and paying by way of bottled red stuff:D .

So Sunday is my day with the kids....we are going to get the truck and Bobcat and get a load of Mulch for the front yard and generally "mess around with Dad".

As we load kids, dogs and Flea into car mobile phone rings.....its my business partner who has decided to go and refuel the truck and Bobcat for me...what a great bloke....he put 20 litres of Diesel into the Bobcat main Hydraulic oil Tank:eek:.

So the kids stayed at home Glum :( and Dad spent the day lifting the cab, draining the hydraulic system, flushing, cleaning and generally wasting $250 worth of filters and premium synthetic hydraulic fluid.:mad: :mad: .. go ahead Midge..I can take it ("I told ya I told Ya"):rolleyes: .

My partner said it was an absolute credit to my character in the cool calm manner in which I conducted myself...so I didn't tell him about the visualisations I was having about how tight I could squeeze the filter spanner around his head:( .

Anyway, if your bored, come around to the Squizzy house, never a dull moment...

I thought this thread was going to be railed onto the subject of Lycra bicycling suits but it doesn't seem to have come up;) .

Here's my best effort at getting a post deleted today:

Friends of mine are in a bit of a 'self help' stage at the moment. She bought a book which they were both reading and it's aimed at improving communications between partners resulting in better relationships and, most importantly, improvements in the the, ahem, bedroom.

It's called "The Seven Languages of Love". When she told me the title, I came up with the perfect catch phrase for it: "This book will take you from Multilingual to Cunilingual in Seven easy steps." Ho ho ho. :o

[Daddles]

Oh dear.

[Driver]

Perhaps Crabtree could help? He's a bit of a linguist. (Please take careful note of the fact that I have assiduously avoided the most obvious adjective in that last sentence). Failing Crabtree, there's a bloke called Hornblower wandering aimlessly in the proximity of the RITFOTU and ignored by the current plot line.

It would have been alright if the Cat was on the ground but it was on the truck with a whole heap of dirt in the tray. I couldn't move it because as soon as you turn the key both Hyd pumps are running and the diesel would have gone through the system.:(

Jim. The reason for deletion is not the mention of Roger but the way in which it was used. The other post was deleted because yours was quoted and their post made no sense without the quote.

I used to send out an email to people when I deleted a post with the reason but when it got to 130-150 a week it got too hard.

Maybe the new board will have that feature.

I've retired from motorbikes. Now I've got another MG (my third). Mind you, I only stopped the bikes because the *****-ex forced me to give them up, so it's only poverty that's keeping me from buying another. Perhaps I should buy that Hogly Ferguson. Mind you, I instructed at an advanced riding day for the Hogly club years ago. At the end of the day, we always had an hour's free time, and one of my students handed me the keys to his Hogly - two weeks old, over twenty grand's worth of m/c. I touched the footboards down on the first lap. On the second lap, I scraped on every corner of the track. I wasn't game enough to try a third for fear I'd wind up dropping the rotten thing.

The Hogly was a nice bike to ride - probably the easiest bike to ride I've ever riden, but cripes, no acceleration, no cornering and they don't vibrate, they leap up and down on the spot. But I always said that one day I'd retire to a BMW - well, I owned one of them, a K100RS that I had for about three years. But the MG is nice - I can scare myself in that and still talk to my passenger. Perhaps I'm getting old.

Baited or Bated?

The correct spelling is actually bated breath but it’s so common these days to see it written as baited breath that there’s every chance it will soon become the usual form, to the disgust of conservative speakers and the confusion of dictionary writers. Examples in newspapers and magazines are legion; this one appeared in the Daily Mirror on 12 April 2003: “She hasn’t responded yet but Michael is waiting with baited breath”.
It’s easy to mock, but there’s a real problem here. Bated and baited sound the same and we no longer use bated (let alone the verb to bate), outside this one set phrase, which has become an idiom. Confusion is almost inevitable. Bated here is a contraction of abated through loss of the unstressed first vowel (a process called aphesis); it has the meaning “reduced, lessened, lowered in force”. So bated breath refers to a state in which you almost stop breathing through terror, awe, extreme anticipation, or anxiety.

Shakespeare is the first writer known to use it, in The Merchant of Venice: “Shall I bend low and, in a bondman’s key, / With bated breath and whisp’ring humbleness, / Say this ...”. Nearly three centuries later, Mark Twain employed it in Tom Sawyer: “Every eye fixed itself upon him; with parted lips and bated breath the audience hung upon his words, taking no note of time, rapt in the ghastly fascinations of the tale”.

For those who know the older spelling or who stop to consider the matter, baited breath evokes an incongruous image, which Geoffrey Taylor humorously (and consciously) captured in verse in his poem Cruel Clever Cat:


Sally, having swallowed cheese,
Directs down holes the scented breeze,
Enticing thus with baited breath
Nice mice to an untimely death. Catscript, edited by Marie Angel. However, it was first published in 1933 in a limited edition of Geoffrey Taylor’s poems entitled A Dash of Garlic.]

Yeah Grunt, I'm just trying to work out the relevance?. Read below again carefully, with ****ed breath:



Shakespeare is the first writer known to use it, in The Merchant of Venice: “Shall I bend low and, in a bondman’s key, / With pancaked breath and whisp’ring humbleness, / Say this ...”. Nearly three centuries later, Mark Twain employed it in Tom Sawyer: “Every eye fixed itself upon him; with parted lips and pancaked breath the audience hung upon his words, taking no note of time, rapt in the ghastly fascinations of the tale”.
