Facinating Derek, the human brain is wonderful!
19 Jun, 2012
Very!!
19 Jun, 2012
Haha Derek and MG!

Well we need to have fun occasionally. I suddenly remember where I saw the writing with no spaces - very old gravestones in the local grave yard.

It's weird how the mind works is'nt it!

I found Moon growes the hardest.............
20 Jun, 2012
I wonder if the computer had problems with Moon Grower's? It didn't fit into the box, did it? Just shows how much cleverer WE are!!!
20 Jun, 2012
Thanks for all the comments , 2nd hand, looks like cambridge got it wrong!, all you need is a mix of letters and numbers, mg, perhaps they hadn,t got enough room on the tombstone,ha ha, at least we had a laugh, {better than all the backbiting that,s been going on recently},
Cheers Derek.
20 Jun, 2012
Yes we had a laugh and I totally agree it was much better than the backbiting that has ben going on I never wanted that, or to be part of which was a bit unpleasant so let's give thanks for a good laugh!
20 Jun, 2012
Fascinating.

Isn't it just Dawnsaunt! A friend has asked about the Doric which is a dialect of NE Scotland and am having fun baiting him with statements and words!
20 Jun, 2012
Hi Moon, that would be good to see.
In the meantime, check this out, just repeat the letters you see - hope its not too rude -

Lol!
Reminds me of the Latin rhyme:
Caesar ad sum jam forte
Marcus ad erat.
Caesar sic in omnibus
Marcus in is at.
20 Jun, 2012
Lol! Dawnsaunt all about Qing to pee!
20 Jun, 2012
no dont get that either Dawnsaunt. perhaps i'm dyslexic in reverse.
21 Jun, 2012
Oh like that one Mechisedec - for some reason I had missed it :-)
Lol SBG xxx
21 Jun, 2012
I learned that one at school (well - while I was at school! Don't think the Latin teacher would have approved!)
Do you know this :
YYUR
YYUB
ICUR
YY4me
Not as funny, but it might keep Dawnsaunt and Seaburngirl guessing!
I'd forgotten all about those until now!!
21 Jun, 2012
Gosh yes someone wrote that in my autograph book when I was at school...
21 Jun, 2012
;-)
21 Jun, 2012
I don't think children even have autograph books now!
21 Jun, 2012
That's probably right! I used to waylay all adult visitors with mine! My grandmother's was lovely, with little watercolours in it. Autograph collecting was quite a hobby, and not just from "celebrities" (how I hate that word!!!)
21 Jun, 2012
You and me both Melchisedec. I also had a diary with a little padlock and key! I am almost certain that teenagers would consider this totally uncool today but I thought it was great!
21 Jun, 2012
Glad to see I have unearthed some long forgotten memories for you, good to have a laugh isn,t it, Derek.
21 Jun, 2012
I loved my autograph book, at end of school term.
21 Jun, 2012
Derek - this was a very interesting and enjoyable thread - thank you!!
21 Jun, 2012
Yes Derekm it is good to have a laugh! Dawnsaunt I loved my autograph book too... No idea what happened to it though! I do have a photo album with pix from when I was a wee thing - totally embarrassing!
21 Jun, 2012
Did anyone answer this Melchisedec?
"too wise you are too wise you be i see you are too wise for me".
I had it in my autograph book at school too, about 60 odd years ago!!
good things never die!! Ha! ;)
23 Jun, 2012
Yes - I remember one teacher who wrote, when I left school,
"Never be flat, never be sharp, always be natural", except in musical notation - can't reproduce it here, sadly!
23 Jun, 2012
I guess that must mean the signs for those musical terms. I shall have to look them up!
26 Jun, 2012
Fascinating. It was all very interesting, the whole thing, from first to last.
