I have an early Core and the acrylic base looks just as good today as the day I got it.
Be careful - I’m not sure it’s right! I got unclassified in my Latin O level. Our teacher was utterly useless. He kept falling asleep during class, and the objective was for one of the boys to climb on the desk, remove his trousers, spin them around above his head, put them back on and sit down before the teacher woke up. The jolly japes of a public school in the 70s.
I feel more and more deprived by the day
Thankfully, I could give up Latin after the third form. Did Russian instead……………
Same as me but didn’t do the Russian.
Don’t…
They were born to rule.
Irony smiley needed.
Well prepared for whatever may come
Steady….
Heard the new grey version today - SQ has definitely suffered, the inky blackness has gone.
I went to an inner city comprehensive school in the late 1980s and my Latin isn’t too shabby. I also know how to tie a bow tie, which way to pass the port at a formal dinner, plus a number of other skills/knowledge that, stereotypically, are the preserve of those who were not educated at the expense of the state.
I don’t think the type of school I went to has any bearing on any gaps in my knowledge or experience. εξεστι το σου σταδιον ουκ όμοιος ειη.

…and before I’m accused of being elitist and excluding, that was a rendering (of possible accuracy) of YMMV in Ancient Greek.
Timeo danaos et dona ferentes
There is a word used frequently in the video game, Assassins Creed:Odessey, but I cannot repeat it here as there are ladies present
Ach, away wi’ yese, ye big jessies. Translation available on request.
Mangetout, Rodney, mangetout.
Parley, parley.
It’s French, like mayonnaise!

Best post I’ve read in a long time

I previously had cds2/52/135s/01
They were timeless looking
There is a wrong way to pass port?!
One should never lick the rim of the decanter after swigging.
Always to the left, dear boy. Some organisations also like to observe the rule that the base of the decanter should never lose contact with the table, even when pouring.
But I think we might be departing from the original theme of the thread…
