    I read some where once that the verb 'to decimate' came from the Roman army's practice of rounding up all the deserters and killing one in ten as a message to the rest. 'Deci' comes from Roman for ten and all that. How come the current usage of the word seems to signify way more damage? The news just said that Pakistani farms are decimated after the floods. I wonder when the meaning of the word changed.

  8. Meade was thought to have magical powers of virility & fertility. You had to drink it until the next full moon if you wanted to have kids, that's where 'honeymoon' came from.

    The incident is worthy of it's own thread.

    A mate of mine worked in the credit control department of a company that did something similar with telephone lines. He packed in the job eventually. He would be ringing customers looking to talk about unpaid bills, they would tear him a new one quoting all these promises that the salesman made. The salesmen would basically promise the prospective customer a load of shit that wasn't possible, just to get them to sign on the dotted line. After that it was up to my mate to pick up the pieces. He said it was a horrible existence, so he packed it in.
  14. ITV hasn't been the same since 'Saint & Greavsie' went off the air. Will watch the final on Irish TV, but would watch on BBC if I was in the UK.
