Bad Language
Ouch! That's got to make the eyes water.

Re: Bad Language
It's like Julius Caesar, stabbed in the portico. I had a splinter there once.
I can feel it

Re: Bad Language
Indeed, "splinter there, once" is shorthand in this household, when we describe this kind of ambiguity.

I have just realized a very annoying thing: the "Austr-" in "Austria" means East, from German Öster. The "Austr-" in "Australia", on the other hand, means South, from Latin Australis.
Thank you, have a nice day.

@two dogs - Never mind! I wouldn't necessarily eat anything a skilled grammarian had made, either.

Their food & coffee is great, and their young staff are wonderful.
I was intending to walk the 7.5 km there for lunch today (I've only ever had breakfast there), until strong winds developed, to try this:

Re: Bad Language
From yesterday's SMH Column 8:
I must be a bad trainer.
Damn. My dog hasn't learned how to unscrew the espresso thingy lid yet.The dog really did eat my homework (C8) Part II: “My daughter is a school teacher and often takes work home to mark,” says Judy Edwards of Kanahooka. “While making coffee, her eight-week-old blue cattle dog took a book from the table and ate some of it. She had to admit to a student next day that her dog had eaten his homework. I am not sure what mark he received.”
