Ian, I bought a rectangular plate and small bowl that can be used for snacks/dips. The plates are cream with a deep purple border and a small lavender flower.
I told me sister that if she didn't like them I was more than willing to give her another gift. She whipped it out of my hands and More...

Guess apart from playing around last night it is a long time since I posted much on here and after this last page I know why. I have read stuff some days and thought will I post and decided not to so not to create issues. but having had chats to Gath at the weekend about numbers on the site and how More...

That's fine Rosemary, we should all just relax and accept the laughter.

How's this one?

What do 10,000 battered women have in common?
They just won't listen, I guess.

Is that funny?

Thanks, Victoria.

Ian
That's the wrong answer.
The correct answer is that
10,000 men prefer their women battered rather than crumbed. Or is that fish?

Ian
I bring it to your attention you failed to put it in the joke section.

It wasn't a joke, in my never-humble opinion, my beloved Rosemary.

There used to be a Bendigo Pottery factory in Deloraine, Tasmania. We have a number of pieces especially mixing bowls we bought there & that we use all the time. The factory closed after Bendigo Pottery was taken over by Bamix and Bamix went broke.

You said it was a joke, then you placed it incorrectly. You cant have it both ways.

please dont refer to me in that manner Ian that is not acceptable.

OK, sorry

Gee, that's twice I feel bad about commenting on the picture

But is it funny?

Ok, Ian, I'll wade in: An alien walks into a bar.....

Now who's ox is getting gored?

Alien as in little green spaceman or as in non-citizen?

Exactly!

And I didn't say it was a joke. I asked if it was funny.

I just got an email telling me that today was International Disturbed Peoples Day. I googled it and if this is right it appears to happen on a different date each year.
Does anyone know if this is true.

Funny and truth have a lot in common and neither often make a lot of sense.

Is that Al (ox) Gored?

Ibid, saylz.

1.00 - a la Ian.

This is a genuine question. I know the symbol & is called an ampersand but what is an @ called?

A good joke could be made out of;
a. gored
b. alien
c. bar
but, the horse, the two clergymen, the three women with different colored hair and the parrot would all object.

Oops - obviously posted that from the end of page 2, without looking round the corner.

It is a type of short hand for 'at'.

I don't know, saylz, but shouldn't you have posted that under the "questions about symbols" category?

and what a wonderful day it is, wet wet wet here in Melbourne today, gotta love it.

Hope all is well in your side of the world wherever you maybe :)

I realise that but surely it has a proper name.
& = and = ampersand
@ = at = ?????

Ampersat?

I'm very sorry Anne.
You are of course correct. Will you forgive me?

Ian: You clearly don't understand the way the Irish joke is understood and accepted in UK - by everyone - including the Irish themselves - Indeed the Irish write the very best 'Irish jokes' - and an Irishman wrote that one. So there is little point in me pursuing the discussion with you here. The More...

"at the rate of," but that defines it, it doesn't tell you what its name is.

I think I need to split my personality by creating a few nom-de-plumes for myself to wean more overt support.

=home in bed with the crud
=the ATM for the last 20 minutes waiting for that joker to finish yakking on their dang cell phone.
=an impasse with the cable company about the availabilty of the golf channel without all that other stuff I don't want.

Wiki:

The typographic character @, called the at sign or at symbol.

Well, it's as good a name as any. And it's shorter than 'ampersand.'

Anne
You were so close. I went back to Wikipedia and it is called an asperand although this term is rarely used. The common English term is the "commercial at".

Rayray, sorry, you can't get away with that---going on and on with your own opinion and then saying that the subject is closed because there's no more to be said.

Ian
Perhaps Wiki in Australia is different to Wiki in America. If we work at it we'll go over the page.

Oh, goody.
