Specifics. Goatboy is a chilled out dude the vast majority of the time, which complements the over-compensating short bloke he sometimes hangs around with just lovely. The only time I’ve seen him close to angry is when we made the grave mistake of playing PES on the PS4. GB is the Sotonian I’ve spent the most real life time with this year, but that’s largely on account of him coming up to Liverpool, living in the same direction as my mum’s house in Southampton and the complete lack of arm twisting required when you ask him if he wants another drink. Lou’s right. It’s a good match. Top lad.

Yeah alright Pap, no need to go on and on. If you think I’ve not noticed that you’ve conveniently ommitted the Lou & Goatboy lovefest from the list just because you can’t handle the competition, then you’re mistaken. You may be small, cuddly with soft flowing locks, and a cutesy walk, and clearly Goatboy’s type, but I’ve got bigger tits.

We’re on!

Ah, it’s not like that. I was merely commenting on the ones I was involved in and still had a remote chance of standing in the way of the Fowllyd & SO5 4BW love juggernaut, and then deftly dodging the Bucks & Coxford_Lou riding hot on its tail.

I really need to take Barry Sanchez up on his offer of forum judo class. I could have tied you up for months with those assumptions.

Yeah yeah yeah, now you’re doing the old modesty/I didn’t mean it/ blushing/can you help me pick this up its a bit too heavy for me GB, card. You think I can’t tell?! I invented this stuff! Any more underhand tactics, and I’ll start playing dirty and get the chaps out.

Back off Pap, he’s mine.

Just to help bletch and I manage site load, can you give me a ballpark on the number of love triangles you are planning to create on this thread?

New one every day, Pap. I’m going after Fatso tomorrow. I can only see humiliation and destruction awaiting me, but that’s what draws me in.

You can be Dido to Fatso’s Aeneas, Lou.

Nullis ille movetur
Fletibus aut voces ullas tractabilis audit.

We need another vote option: I love all of you. Thats why I am here, period, to share in the love of Papsweb.

I’ve had to google that and I’m still none the wiser. You can’t go quoting Latin to a lowly girl from Coxford now Fowllyd!

But I’m guessing it means:

He couldn’t move.

The phlem in his throat made a terrible sound.

He left us… abondoned us

Yeah, sorry about that. I was setting my sights on a putative ā€œPain in the fucking neck smartarse twat who everybody wants to killā€ award. But I shouldn’t have done - after all, Balti Stench would win it anyway. Eheu.

Your translation is remarkably close to Virgil’s words, in spirit if not in the letter. An alternative, though less poetic and evocative translation is:

He stands immovable by tears,
Nor tenderest words with pity hears.

Say what you like, it just doesn’t have the same ring.

Ah, that’s beautiful.

My New Years resolution is to read more poetry next year. My Dad bought me a beautiful illustrated copy of The Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam for Christmas, which will be my first stop.

Have we had a poetry thread yet, I can’t remember?

Awake! For morning, in the bowl of light, has flung the stone that casts the stars to flight.

And lo, the hunter of the East has caught the Sultan’s turret in a noose of flame.

That’s all I can recall of the Rubayat. I believe there’s a more recent translation which is truer in sense to the original but reads considerably less well. And so there’s another pitch from me for the aforementioned award…

I don’t think we’ve had a poetry thread, and I can’t pretend to be an expert in such matters, though I almost got onto the subject of Russian poetry with the mighty Bletch the other day.

That’s the one Fowlly! Excellent memory. You definitely get my vote for site intellectual! Bletch spends too much time pissing around with pointless typos to be taken seriously. :lou_wink_2:

Lou, you are too kind. If you carry on like that I might start comparing you to a summer’s day or sumfink.
