“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

Blasphemy.
Isn't haggis the dish where they get all the worst bits of the animal, add some blood, and then boil it and make you drink so much you can't taste it once you eat it. A bit like russian roulette but with a lower chance of survival.
Vegetable Haggis sounds like much better.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

We had veggie haggis this year. It was delicious. I loved it.0

It was indeed. It's a great cheerful happy song....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Sorry, I have a cheapo basic text-and-phone only job. I don't mind feeling creepy, it's normal for me to feel weird!
Music have kiss on in the car and recently done a bit of Beyonce and Ms Dynamite on the sony phone (why carry a separate phone and mp3 player?)
We have Radio 4. I'd say that was me being elderly, except I've always had Radio 4 on in my car ever since I learned to drive.vivatifosi wrote: »Mongolia: Shall we go see how much they want for that yurt?
Today's useless fact - they are called a "ger" in Mongolia. Pronounced to rhyme with "hair" said in a BBC accent.

Tonight's dinner was the first time I've tried faggots (or English haggis as DW described it).

I was a Bad Mummy this evening.
Isaac's struggling with writing in particular, and his reading's not great, either. He's got way ahead in maths, and science, and is behind in literacy.
For homework for this week, he had to write 10 facts about an animal of his choice, draw 3 relevant pictures, do a sheet of maths, and learn 4 of the facts about the animal by heart.
He'd done the maths and pictures really quickly, but getting him to write 10 facts was such a bleeding nightmare, it ended up being tonight (for tomorrow) and a real battle. I got both frustrated and impatient, which didn't help either.

What technique are they using to teach him language? Phonics? Does he / did he have any trouble tying his laces when he was younger?“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Yes, phonics (I think - the making sounds that sound different from the way you pronounce a letter).
He's never had laces in his shoes - so 20th century, sweetie!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
