Catdance Film Festival Oui. French CATastrophe. French cats meow in French and French people are calling them "chat". Is it a problem to pronounce "Guy" and "chat" in English spoken countries? :) Where is Kittyman by the way? ID: 1649730 · |

Catdance Film Festival I had a Shipmate named Guy Eyraud - pronounced it Geye Arrow. Where is Kittyman by the way? On vacation in Coventry. Hope he won't be away too long this time. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired ID: 1649816 · |

How do you pronounce this in Welsh? "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" The long form of the name was invented for promotional purposes in the 1860s; with 58 characters it is the longest place name in Europe and the second longest official one-word place name in the world.

Awwwwwww But in wartime, not all sides use common sense or obey the Rules.... And even for those who do, it takes much less thought and effort to lay them down than to clean up after.... Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired ID: 1650020 · |

I'm reminded of what I read in the History books, Ben Franklin was reputed to have said that 'common sense is not too common' or something to that effect, it has been a long time since I read that. Benjamin Franklin was also the US ambassador in France when France experienced the year without a summer. It was when the volcano Krakatau in Indonesia erupted. ID: 1650038 · |

I'm reminded of what I read in the History books, Ben Franklin was reputed to have said that 'common sense is not too common' or something to that effect, it has been a long time since I read that. Maybe this is off topic but... Franklin's List of Defined Virtues 1. Temperance - eat not to dullness; drink not to elation. 2. Silence - Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation. 3. Order - Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time. 4. Reolution - Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve. 5. Frugality - Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; that is, wast nothing. 6. Industry - Lose no time; be always employed in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions. 7. Sincerity - Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly; speak accordingly. 8. Justice - Wrong none by doing injuries; or omitting the benefits of your duty. 9. Moderation - Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve. 10. Cleanliness - Tolerate no un cleanliness in bocy, clothes, or habitation. 11. Tranquility - Be not disturbed at trifles or at accidents common or unavoidable. 12. Chastity - Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation. ID: 1650047 · |

Ben Franklin was a man of many talents, worthy to be listened to, and to learn from. I think I read someplace that he liked cats.... Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired ID: 1650180 · |

Well as we haven't had a critter pic in a day or so, here is the tame squirrel from my local park, I can't be sure but is seems to be the same on that will come and take food from my hand, all the others run off.  Also quite happy to sit and eat there and then and not disappear into the bushes.  ID: 1650601 · |
