maqroll Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 So I have the day off work, and sky has all the star wars films on demand. I haven't watched the originals and only watched 1 or 2 of the prequels as a kid and can barely remember what happened. So which order should I watch them in vt? watch them in the order they were released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Watch the original trilogy then read about the prequels on Wikipedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 17, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2015 I must be one of the few people around my age who watched the Star Wars films for the first time in story order. It means I don't have the hate for the prequels because I wasn't a fanboi of the originals to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 17, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2015 Question for anyone clued up on the terminology used in relation to land, property, building, planning etc or just someone with a big vocabulary What is the word for when a building or structure lies within the surrounds, perimeter or relevancy of something else. "By having a common wall between them, house B falls within the XXXXXXXX of house A". (note it is not confines, jurisdiction or any other word I've ever heard in any other context other than this specific example.) I can't for the life of me remember it.

limpid Posted August 17, 2015 Administrator Share Posted August 17, 2015 Demise? It's something like that. Not domain, something that sounds like mediaeval French, like 'desmaigne', but not that. I think demesne is the word you were trying for, but it's curtilage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm blaming the cockney builders I was working with last year Edit : although demise is also "a transfer of an estate by lease" which makes sense of it in the context I heard it in (although sadly makes me no more right in proffering it as an answer to BOF).
