A thousand apologies Pilrig, upon checking I find that the comment I was thinking of was by CG.
But I agree with you it is peculiar that he pms in English, posts in french but refuses to deal, out of principle, with those who post in German!

Maybe its an avant -garde post modernist stand up routine he's developing ?
An ironic dystopian view of the notion of a united Europe ?
Following a recent pm in which he offered to arrange for me to receive a "savage beating" unless I stopped saying he was 'roger' I'm delighted to confirm that "tertius" is DEFINITELY NOT ROGER! I hope that clarifies it once and for all!

Thomas, I confuse easily...did you mean Moliere, the dramatist (Jean-Baptiste Poquelin) ?
or Moliere the wine? If the wine, please share. Thank you.

Moliere.

I`m sure he meant the wine.

Sorry Hun, I was responding to "Tertius" and his reference to the Dramatist.

However, here's the wine for all you afficianados of Beaujolais!

http://mcduffwine.blogspot.co.uk/2010/1 ... -that.html

The world turns and fashions come and go but Beaujolais continues to deliver great easy drinking low tannic wines.
They won't rock your world or make you a virgin again but a well made Chenas, Moulin a vent or a light Chiroubles
will enhance a summers lunch or accompany a sunset.
The Gamay is a much maligned grape and any refugees from high tannin, high alcohol and over sweet wines will do well to
return to Beaujolais.
Sorry folks, I'm off the soap box.

Whew! Deep sigh of relief here! Beaujolais has always been my preference. I have spent more pleasant evenings with Beaujolais
than with Moliere the dramatist.

I would like to apologise to anyone who compares themselves with a sheep or lion that I might have offended in this post

I am not a racist Egi, I have no idea why you would throw that accusation into the conversation, would you care to explain?

“Straightway throughout the Libyan cities flies rumor;--the report of evil things than which nothing is swifter; it flourishes by its very activity and gains new strength by its movements; small at first through fear, it soon raises itself aloft and sweeps onward along the earth. Yet its head reaches the clouds. . . . A huge and horrid monster covered with many feathers: and for every plume a sharp eye, for every pinion a biting tongue. Everywhere its voices sound, to everything its ears are open.

The Aeneid (IV, 173)

Egi, I have just seen your post in the Misc section, I understand why you feel angry with Tertius, he has made a few offensive German comments lately and it is not something I condone.......hope that is clear.

Now I spend all of my time on this forum defending myself against unfounded accusations, no one else, despite what some want to believe or have been lead to believe.

Now THAT my friend is offensive.

Why would you want to draw me into this bizarre conversation?
The Kennel Club recognises the name "German Shepherd" as a breed of dog, its a line from a song(see helpful link posted)
Can you explain why that would be offensive? Speak to brother Leonard if you're unhappy.
Dont forget that Roger used to quote Cohen too..........................
I appreciate that you're desperate for attention but, as there's nothing happening until the inevitable Italian Victory
tonight I'm happy to see you develop this unpromising line into an issue of contention!
BTW Given the way you regularly abuse me verbally what makes you think we're friends?
Thanks for the image of you tottering unsteadily 'doon the Toon' on your 6 inch heels!
More fun the Scotswood rd has seen in a while since the cleaning up after the flood probably !

Its Sunday, here we go again!
Getting predictable, Pet!

Not Steve, Pilgrig. But the lines of his song (which he wrote when he was quite young and quite high) implicate racism.
"When the eagle flies with the dove ..." is like "Some people are lions and other are sheep". It is the way of thinking of the "elite". Shouldn't all souls be equal?
We aren't dwelling in animal kingdom anymore (*1), thanks to Mr. Enki or whatever was his name.
I still like the song though, for the melody and the rhythm.


*1)
But some guys have missed that.

Yes, that helps.
I'm really glad that I don't get PM's in German where he offers me to get beaten by some local punks.


@ Tingra:
I didn't call YOU a racist, but the "lion & sheep parable" is racism in its core. That's all.
And I also love the music of Steve Stills.

Thanks for clearing that misunderstanding up Egi

To clarify, I meant....

A truly strong person (Me) does not need the approval of others (All those that take a certain twats innuendoes as true) any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.

Hope that helps

So you're a LION are you?

Maybe you wanna re-think the whole clarification thing.........
Just makes stuff you say even funnier!

The Lion ? I had you down as the Scarecrow of Team Crista!

BTW Nice swerve!
TD

my question now...will it be used again?

.

Very unlikely, no, impossible.
Beginning at the age of 12, on Sunday's he'd walk to the African-American churches in Florida where he was always welcomed to play guitar along with the musicians.

I was commenting on how a banner (vexillum) could rally an entire people, the use of which was a master stroke of theatre, ceremony and propaganda. The circumstances in 1124 were exceptional, this was the invasion by a ruler of another nation and Louis risked everything on a single great encounter. Logically we could move forward through the centuries and see for ourselves how such objects with the ceremony and theatre accompanying them can manifest into mystical events, a good example is the Nuremberg rallys.

Hi Paula/everyone, my aplogies that i cannot always read or answer peoples' messages due to a heavy work load, however, i will reply to your question here.

There is a strong possibility that this artifact could be re-used in the future. Indeed, this artifact has been considered as a weapon in antiquity, and even if not used itself, the technology has been already transposed and could be used today. Some scientists working on this subject now feel it is necessary to warn people of this technology and its possible future impact. This subject is not to be taken lightly.

In future i will only engage in dialogue on my own forum. I apologise if i cannot always answer questions straight away.

Here is a link to the photograph some of you were talking about in this thread.

What have you done with St Michael

so, this is what i meant, in part, by performance art.
with intention, much is possible.

paula

hello isaac,

i have not ever taken anything about rlc 'lightly'...of course, this is my own issue.
thanks for commenting.
human nature is such that keeping secrets is difficult. eventually the innuendoes (sp?) will produce more direct communications.
also, the past repeats itself and history is a good teacher. we have witnessed the "schism" right here amongst you all with regards to this "object".

blessings to you and to yours,
paula

Thank you for the picture IBJ and I totally understand you really busy thanks for giving us a peak

good god woman......spelling !

...please try and master it.

not.

Yeah, well these are the breaks, wishing doesn't make it so!

It's a bit like hoping to get a straight answer on the Forum; an aspiration with no expectation of success !
