    Translating squiggles

    Surely not? An obsessive, here, on DIY Not, who would have thought it.

    Translating squiggles

    Aggressive? My you are a sensitive soul. Actually an apostrophe may represent a glottal stop in English. And your reference to beer and bacon is bizarre and the only reasonable interpretation is that it is part of an anti-Muslim obsession. I love beer, but not bacon, since I do not eat meat...

    Final Message comment comment

    The original thread title was Final Comment. According to mods Final means it is time to drop it. So why was it not closed at the outset? We need to know. Does this mean any thread title including Final is to be ignored? Are there other taboo words?

    Really? Bejing was Peking, Mumbai was Bombay. And so on. I'm surprised you did not realise what the apostrophe represented since you claim to speak Arabic..

    You are a fool. Something looks vaguely like a rodent, therefore it's a rodent. Sometimes I despair.

    Translating squiggles

    You speak Arabic? The apostrophe represents a glottal stop, quite common in Arabic. Not a shortening, as you should know.

    Since I am banned from commenting on that thread, for reasons that escape me ... Jus because Fire and Ice has lived in a country does not mean much. Brits lived in India and were sometimes appalling snobs, with disdain for the locals. I am not saying that is true of Fire and Ice, I don't know...

    I think the head was fine, but the neck would have been sore. Assuming the executioner was on target, unlike the one who killed Mary Queen of Scots.

    America has executions and people are able to watch. Recently reported ones involved the person dying in agony over an extended time period. Not sure if they have someone selling snacks and refreshments. By all accounts many police officers are saving the state money by executing black people...

    That is what I assumed, but I wanted to check.

    How do they do it ?

    I could have told the builders that this location was prone to flooding:

    What did you put over the plywood walls?

    Dishwasher

    I made sure tiles went under my fridge and washing machine. I'd read warnings about not getting them out if you didn't. My suspicion is that Miele are best, online accounts of Miele washing machines suggest they last a long while.

    Tax year end when to start

    Despite what I said I do agree with you, an accountant is advisable if you run a company, assuming you don't go under IR35 in which case an Unbrella company will do it all for you anyway.

    Tax year end when to start

    I used an accountant for about 10 years. Did they save me money? No. And I might be in trouble for last year's tax return as a result of my accountants advice, time will tell if HMRC can be bothered. Hopefully there are bigger fish to fry.

    Do you think we've been to the moon ?

    Only if you extract one statement, and ignore the rest of my thoroughly compelling argument. Even nosey decided to throw the full weight of his immense intellect at this one, and came down on my side of the discussion. How can you argue with that? :ROFLMAO:
