Oh I don't know, red ed with his camel nose stirs the juices, and you know what they say about men with big noses... come to think of it our Graham has nothing to be shy about in the nasal department either.

Look, this is disgraceful! I've only been back five minutes and we have descended to double entendres already. Neil is going to skin me alive.

Actually, come to think of it, I have never met Neil, does he have a big nose?

I once said he reminded me of a Bumblie (as devised by Michael Bentine);)

Aaargh long depressing Sunday Evenings watching Nana Mouskouri on the old 625 line tv.
Oh God I feel so... so.... so Old.

Thank you very much Rindy. Perhaps you would like to comment on the wrinkles too and really make my day?
 
Ohhhhhh! reallllllly. I have just done a quick google. If he is anything like a bumblie this is one man I have to meet.

There is more to this referendum than immediately meets the eye. It appears that the Greek PM was pushing through the law which permits referenda, last summer. At the same time he was huddled around the table with Merkel and Sarkozy arranging the bail out. The inference being that he planned this all along. Either he is trying to shaft the Germans for what they did in the war or he is trying to ratchet up the size of the haircut the banks will have to take, or both - hell, why not. It's not as though they have much to loose now.

Is It referendums or referenda? You decide.

Sorry I for got you're not allowed to.:hehetable
 
Oxford English Dictionary:

"Referendums is logically preferable as a plural form meaning ballots on one issue (as a Latin gerund, referendum has no plural). The Latin plural gerundive referenda, meaning things to be referred, necessarily connotes a plurality of issues."

You decide. :D

I'm just glad the public are clamouring to vote in a referendum regarding European Union membership, and it isn't anything to do with a cactus.

That could get very confusing.

Especially if there was more than one.
 
So, logically, it seems to me that in a law to permit holding any number of referendums on any number of issues either as single issues or multiples issues the referendum is more poperly referred to as referenda.

That having been settled to my satisfaction at least I am now ready to move on.



NEXT !

I was even going to take the staples out of her spread, so as not to spoil you're enjoyment.

Guess I won't bother now.

Just pop it back on the shelf, with my other copies of No Expenses Spared Tufty's Wives Monthly.

She should have been shelved a long time ago;)
 
Looks like the Greeks are shrinking back from a referendum now.

The French and Germans have told them that the only referendum they should hold is whether or not to stay in the euro.

And they won't give them any cash pending the outcome. And the talk seems now to be switching to throwing the Greeks out of the euro.

Don't think they had much of a choice gynn, because if they had decided not to take the bail out then they would have been kicked out of the Euro
