Photos (PICS)- not necessarily safe for work, though that's not an excuse for wanton exhibitionism. Not everybody wants to meet Mr Peterson or, indeed, his friends.

You know, that might well be my favourite photo of any of my friends ever.

Reminds me of that first famous shot of Lost in Translation.

If I'd taken that photo, I'd be entering it for every competition going - it seems to say something quite wonderfully poignant about the experience of UK summertime.

On the other hand, if I was the model in question, I'd be instructing my solicitor to send a stern letter to Mr so-called 'Tom Coates' Esq.

Are you kidding?

If I were the model in question, I'd be getting a fucking agent, pronto.

Mistoffelees

Not to nitpick, but I also used pronto for fast, quick, etc. But since I got corrected, I often see how many people use the word in the wrong context.

Pronto stands for 1. on standby 2. ready adj 3. hello

A better word for quick etc is presto.
Presto stands for soon.

a presto! - see you soon!
far presto - be quick
al più presto - as soon as possible

Pronto means soon in Spanish. It's ready in Italian.
Here's an entry from the online etymological dictionary.

The first rule of nitpicking, old chap, is to know whereof you pick. "Pronto" means ready in Italian. It means "soon" in Spanish.

"Pronto" as a slang word in English entered the language, most likely, as a piece of American usage loaned from the Spanish.

Snap!

Hahahaha!

In your face, Mistoffelees!

ONLY NICE THINGS

17:24 / 02.09.07

No, no. I mean "snap", as in "we have just said the same thing, as if in a game of snap", rather than "snap", as in "Boo-ya!".

Just hi-five Tsuga and get on with it.

Presto!

Only if you hie yourself over to Dead Megatron's birthday announcement for a late "present", Trips.

iamus

17:35 / 02.09.07

No, no. I mean "snap", as in "we have just said the same thing, as if in a game of snap", rather than "snap", as in "Boo-ya!".

I know. I know.

But Mist still gets it good and proper straight on the kisser.

Never mind all that, let's have a look at this again:

Oh, my.

No, no. I mean "snap", as in "we have just said the same thing, as if in a game of snap", rather than "snap", as in "Boo-ya!".

"Snap" in the sense of "jinx", yes?

Here am me.

Also, can we get Tom to code something for the board that inserts that picture of Gumbitch every five posts or so in every thread? It'd really lighten the mood around here.

Mistoffelees

20:23 / 02.09.07

Just wait til I can have a few words with the person that told me this...*mumblegrumble*

iamus

22:32 / 02.09.07

Phex, you have a Denfeldish quality. Are you next in line for the throne, now it seems The King has abdicated?

Mist, you know I'll always love you really. When you find the bastard who has so grossly led you astray you can rest assured I'll be right behind you, providing backup knuckle justice.

iamus

22:51 / 02.09.07

Having said that.... Haus? 18:53 then 19:31?

You'd be so totally pwned in any game of snap I play.

I will have to fall back on my other gifts. Gin rummy?

Spaniel

Interestingly the guy who took that photo of our Gummy is semi-professional.

iamus

You sure he didn't just have a semi?
