Which word are you wondering about? "I've", or "just", or "beheaded", or "my", or "earlier", or "diplomat". We can't help you with your second language unless you're more specific.

9.31pm. Quickly turn off computer when you think you hear Mrs Horse coming.

9.31 and 30 seconds pm. Quickly turn computer back on again when you realise it's a false alarm.

9.31 and 45 seconds pm. Die in the arse when Mrs Horse walks in to point out - not that you need to have it pointed out - that you fell for the old false alarm double bluff.

9.32pm. Deity finally cracks the sh*ts and goes to bed in a sulk.

No fights to speak of - well, I did have to insist that Deity disband his peripatetic* warrior who was blundering around my land. Being the gent that he is, Deity obliged. Finally.

Someone asked me what 'peripatetic' meant the other day (I think they were reading Rousseau's Confessions) as it happens.

I managed to provide Finbar's definition, though I admit defeat on the Aristotle reference.

	15-02-2003 19:16									#269
	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Aristotelian is derived from Aristotle's habit of walking around while he taught. Hence Aristotle was peripatetic. Aristotelian would appear in a dictionary under "peripatetic" but it doesn't define the word. It's more of a similie.

I see. I expect people to come to wherever I am when teaching, hence the blank.
