  • My Obsession With Language

    I've just spent the last hour or so pursuing this obsession. Here are the search terms I typed into Google.

    possible proto-Germanic contact with the Phoenician language
    posited 'Atlantic' language group
    non-Indo-European substratum of Germanic languages
    is Albanian distantly related to the Celtic languages?
    lexicostatistical comparison of Indo-European languages

  • My Suggestion

    I arrived at the top of the stairs at the central library a few minutes ago and noticed that the public toilets are closed and there's a sign explaining why - drug addicts have been using the facilities.

    I stopped for a few seconds to read the notice pinned to the door and one of the female members of staff walked past me; so I said to no-one in particular [but loud enough so that she could hear me] "I've got an idea...why not keep the toliets open and shoot the drug addicts."

    She stopped dead in her stride, but didn't turn around to face me.

    Message understood...loud and clear!
