A quintissentially British ad-hoc solution, or "a storm

Sun Dec 10, 2006 2:38 pm by Esquilax

That is such clichèd English behaviour. If I were paranoid, I would tend to suspect that such an article would be either a) fake, or b) a way of obtaining free advertising for the British military. Luckily of course, I barely know the meaning of the word "paranoid"

.

As for tea, I think that I'll go and use my specially-designed teapot , and have some "Lady Grey". Good stuff, and just as good if not better than that "Earl Grey" stuff that needs to have a slice of fresh lemon in it before its potential can be fully realised.

Indy - Oh, and it is "al-yoo -minny-um"

Hoorah for the RAF. Of course, Angus does have a point; teapots should not be used to plug holes in aircraft because aircraft should not have holes in the first place. Never mind that they had the initiative not to run back home to mom but it raises serious issues as to the airworthiness of the fleet.

More of a peppermint tea man, myself, though.

People who take drugs are bad.

Damn customs agents

specially-designed teapot

and how exactly would that be?

Mon Dec 11, 2006 5:52 pm by Indy11

Special teapot in that it isn't really a teapot, more of a pot with a lip all the way around the opening and two flanges on opposite sides that are setup parallel to the ground that helps to tilt the pot to allow a lagomorphic snout to stick into the pot's opening and permit the lapping up of the content beverage which is NOT lady grey as indicated but some kind fo warmed up and flat GB.

*pfauuugh*

JCB of Staffordshire? Would that be situated in the the land adjacent to the bleakness that is Tawakalnistan?

*Shrugs* Something like that, although not as rough and simplistic as Indy would have you believe. It is true masterpiece that allows for rabbit paw and hoof manipulation while ensuring that not one drop is wasted. And it IS "Lady Grey"! GB isn't used for tea, although ginger is occasionally used with lemongrass for a nice cup o' tea during Winter. Good for staving off influenza you know.

Esky - you mean a bowl. In fact, you could have a sort of long elongated bowl on legs that allows for rabbit consumption from both sides

Indy - that would indeed be located a few miles to the east of Tawakalnistan.

Ahem! You mean Esquilaxistan ex-Mullah! And what's wrong with bowls anyway? My rabbit Chevalier drink from bowls and tankards, just as all good medievalists should. Nothin' untoward about that.

would that be the pestle with the vessel or the flagon with the dragon? for one contains the potion with the poison whilst the other is the brew that is true, but no-one knows which....

*Shakes head* An interesting (and strangely familiar) comment, but you are obviously inebriated (like Swiss). So much for La Casa D'Taw being haram !

Wed Dec 13, 2006 4:07 pm by Tawakalna

it was Danny Kaye, actually, and haram means "forbidden" - the correct term you were floundering for is halal - it's no wonder with such ignorance of foreign languages that your illegal occupation of Tawakalnistan is failing so miserably.

Wed Dec 13, 2006 5:51 pm by Esquilax

I knew that it was one or the other and in any case, isn't alcohol forbidden? Hmmm? As for the people of Tawakalnistan, they speak English as you should know Mewlah, and therefore the Rabbit-King has no need to learn Arabic. Besides, many Esquilaxistanis are currently working on Lapin (it's a free elective at University and secondary schools), which is far superior to English. "I'll write you a check cos there's thousand of prizes." Bah! Such travesties are not present in Lapin!

/me dreads in fear the day Lapin is released on Dutch schools...

Thu Dec 14, 2006 2:43 pm by Esquilax

Lapin is obviously far superior to English and its myriad varieties, but I doubt that you heathens will appreciate its superiority. Why? Because you don't appreciate language! You take it for granted, all of ye! And why do we have so many varieties of bastardised English? Because you don't care about language the way we Esquilaxes do. *Sigh* We will remain strong however! A bastion of correct English use (typing errors and errors due to fatigue not withstanding)!

Thu Dec 14, 2006 2:46 pm by Locutov

/me thinks the Rabbit also has a thing or two to learn about lingua... despite his masters.

Thu Dec 14, 2006 3:14 pm by Tawakalna

oh, this Wascally Wabbit insists on setting himself up as a target. I'll be watching for every mixed metaphor, missing conjunction, misplaced indefinite article, lack of personal pronoun, double negative, and split infinitive, from this self-styled master of the English language.
