I live near a hospital and it's 8pm Thursday, which means a massive amount of noise from vehicles blaring their horns out on the main road, people cheering on their doorsteps, banging bin lids etc.

It's getting a bit tiresome now. It also interrupted the Within Temptation concert I'm watching in YouTube.

You could have been out digging a hole. Diggy diggy hole.

That actually happened to me a couple of days ago. Quite the annoying song to think of while digging a hole.

Were you digging a pandemic survival bunker?

It was a few post holes but if that's what you want to call it...

Wouldn't some mail-bombing do the trick instead?

Yes you do. Unless you were trying to spell 'gargoyle'.

I hope everyone is having a good week! Many prayers and hoping for the best for everyone.

Okay, allow me to show you what my spelling was for 8 years until when I posted this comment:


I also thought veins are the ones that go out of the heart to the whole body. Then I learnt those are the arteries. And somehow I completely forgot that fact, I had such a dejavu yesterday when I rediscovered that fact...

Steve Harris could make a chorus out of this.

At school we were taught "'i' before 'e' except after 'c' - but only if it rhymes with 'see'". Hence "weird", "beige", "Einstein" etc are excluded from the oft-quoted rule

 

[Black Wizard]

Einstein is not an English word though. My German teacher said it was "if I and E do the walking, it's the second one that does the talking" for that langauge.

Speaking of 'weird', it always struck me as weird that an amulet in Diablo 2 was called Tancred's Weird. Some archaic meaning perhaps?

 

[LooseCannon]

An alternate meaning is fate.

Wyrd in ye olde English meant “fate” or “destiny”. I’ve also seen some fantasy novels use “weird” as an alternate word for an arcane creed of some kind.

Wyrd in ye olde English meant “fate” or “destiny”.

I think it's derived from Scots, according to the dictionary I looked in.

 

[Black Wizard]

That's highly unlikely as it's definitely in Beowulf and other Anglo-Saxon literature.

Wyrd bið ful aræd!

Scots is an Anglo-Saxon language.

 

[Black Wizard]

And Anglo-Saxon came before it.
