So sick of shouting at the kids in their bedrooms to come down for dinner. That is exactly why we got it (plus it looks nice). The ladle btw is entirely decorative - it's some rusty 'antique' from a junk shop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's derivation is correct but its first usage predates the 1610 usage by some 250 years. Alcohol also not required Etymology Online We watched the film "The Professor and the Madman" last night. Despite the fact that it stars Mel Gibson and Sean Penn, it's rather good - all about the writing of the Oxford English Dictionary. Hadn't really thought before what an astoundingly ambitious task it was, in a world before computers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you dislike first in that scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson, without a doubt. But he's OK in this film. Basic plot (and it's a true story) is that a massive amount of the research - recording the earliest usages of every word, etc. - was done by a paranoid schizophrenic murderer (Penn) who was banged up in Broadmoor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AVFC Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I'm surprised that's shocked people. Warm sandwiches are way better. I was trying to work out the other day if we have enough space in the kitchen to fit a panini grill. The only reason I don't have every sandwich hot is lack of necessary equipment or laziness. The exception is stuff like egg mayo, but that's a disgrace anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I like hot sandwiches and I like cold sandwiches. What I hate are cold sandwiches that haven’t been refrigerated/kept cool. Sweaty cheese, salad and or meat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I get people liking warm sandwiches. The shock was the claim that cold sandwiches were the only thing worse than cereal! I love a sandwich. Hot or cold. Carry on gif? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
