My dear finbar,
I've just beheaded my earlier diplomat, if that is the correct word. Please accept my apologies and get your @ss here at 8:30pm sharp!

Which word are you wondering about? "I've", or "just", or "beheaded", or "my", or "earlier", or "diplomat". We can't help you with your second language unless you're more specific.

Hydey · February 13, 2003, 23:08

Hydey will be here , as for remembering to turn ICQ on

finbar · February 13, 2003, 23:14

Turn it on now and leave it on!

deity · February 13, 2003, 23:55

I NEVER turn it off.

deity · February 13, 2003, 23:58

Winzity expresed interest and I'm happy for him to play but I think it might be unwise to have too many players? What do you all think?
We'll have 5 Aussies and that might be enough?

Hydey · February 14, 2003, 00:51

finbar · February 14, 2003, 02:41

9.31pm. Quickly turn off computer when you think you hear Mrs Horse coming.

9.31 and 30 seconds pm. Quickly turn computer back on again when you realise it's a false alarm.

9.32pm. Deity finally cracks the sh*ts and goes to bed in a sulk.

Hydey · February 14, 2003, 09:01

Good session tonight guys

Once horse turned up that is

DrSpike · February 14, 2003, 09:08

No fights to report? And I guess Mrs Horse forgot the old false alarm double bluff trick.

finbar · February 14, 2003, 21:36

No fights to speak of - well, I did have to insist that Deity disband his peripatetic* warrior who was blundering around my land. Being the gent that he is, Deity obliged. Finally.

*I feel confident I can use a word like this in your company, Doctor. The others, of course, will have to look it up in a dictionary.

Alexander's Horse · February 15, 2003, 04:30

I'll be around saturday night.

Nuh. Try the next bit of the definition. The bit about itinerant, wandering.

deity · February 15, 2003, 06:34

Gotcha!

DrSpike · February 15, 2003, 08:52

Someone asked me what 'peripatetic' meant the other day (I think they were reading Rousseau's Confessions) as it happens.

I managed to provide Finbar's definition, though I admit defeat on the Aristotle reference.

finbar · February 15, 2003, 10:16

Aristotelian is derived from Aristotle's habit of walking around while he taught. Hence Aristotle was peripatetic. Aristotelian would appear in a dictionary under "peripatetic" but it doesn't define the word. It's more of a similie.

DrSpike · February 15, 2003, 10:23

I see. I expect people to come to wherever I am when teaching, hence the blank.
