One thing you learned today
 

Post one thing you've learned today.







This half-hearted thread was brought to you by somebody who has been up since 6am.

OH DEAR....

im up at 5 am every morning to be in work at 5.30am.
im sure this isnt your normal rising time tho pookie!!!

Alas, it is.

I'm up to get a girl, a boy and a grown woman ready for school, pre-school, and work.

Courage is a kind of endurance in the face of fear but not all endurance is courageous.

And by "today" I am answering for yesterday as it is only 2 AM.

i've only just got up and haven't learned anything yet but i'll keep you posted if and when it happens

fair enough.. im lucky. i usually miss the pre school/school run as they arent in til 9 am and im well gone but ive a week off work due to sickness so its my turn!!!!

now house empty, the new jimmy cake album blaring from the stereo and a pot of coffee ready to be consumed.......

That I like Brel's slower ballads (La ville s'endormait, l'amour est mort, ne me quitte pas...) just as much as his more pacy, melodic songs (bruxelles, les flamandes, les bourgeois, valse a mille temps...)

Ive learned that pepsi light mojito is the shit

Never look straight in the sun's rays

"Irregardless", despite its lamentable addition to some dictionaries, is not a real word.

Isn't it just "regardless"? Surely "irregardless" is a double negative.

It sounds like an Americanism to me.

I've just learned this:

Irregardless in popular culture

• In the Family Guy episode "Lois Kills Stewie" (Part 2), Stewie threatens to consign anyone who uses irregardless to a work camp.
• In a second season episode ("Irregarding Steve") of American Dad, Steve Smith and Roger the alien make fun of Stan Smith when he uses the term. Steve remarks, "Irregardless? That's not even a real word. You're affixing the negative prefix 'ir-' to 'regardless', but, as 'regardless' is already negative, it's a logical absurdity!"

i keep waking up at midday so i haven't had a chance to learn much today.

i learned i don't like lasagna pizza

yes. like french. "ca ne me regarde pas". :D

i learnt that my dog is still nice to an irish wolfhound when he stands up and towers above him. he's cautious (my dog is dalmatian-size) but not scared.

i love both dogs. been talking to the owner of the wolfhound a bit. it's an amazing animal, too bad they don't get old.

whats their expected lifespan?

3 to 5 wolves catched.

four to eight years.
