Some good ales as well. There are some, IME, very few wines that go well with curry. One I am particularly partial to is a demi-sec Touraine-Amboise rose. Somehow, it just works with spicy food. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 GTV TS GT 3.2 V6 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. #www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk

Possibly. The discussion in question [1] concerned whether a Hebrew word could be written using the Latin alphabet. I said it could, my interlocutor disagreed. I prevailed, of course.

Good for you, but that wasn't my question. Could you do my job? Could you teach English and French in an almost entirely Hebrew-speaking environment? -- des 'If G-d had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?' (Sarah Palin) <http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/>
Why ever would I want to ? I'm a physics graduate, I wouldn't want to teach that either There's much more out there for those that can That you can't must be at the root of your insecurity and obsession with trying to prove yourself
That's not the point. You said, 'those that can't, teach..'. If I'm one of those who 'can't', then how can I 'do'?
It is absolutely the point Language is, when you cut all the crap, just a set of rules which can be acquired by book learning, no imagination or innovation required To me its a communication tool If I use the word "autobahns" in the UK, everyone understands that I mean more than one german motorway. If I said "autobahnen", they wouldn't. The former conveys meaning in english, the second doesn't It gets the meaning across - that is the bottom line You seem incapable of grasping this simple concept It works the other way. In german, I would say "Ich habe es gefaxed" the english word "faxed" with the past tense given by a german prefix. You don't you just spend your time being a victim and picking holes in what everyone else says to give yourself a feeling of self importance
I doubt if it applies to James Nicoll anyway... http://groups.google.com/group/alt.tv.star-trek.voyager/msg/c0e8267c41cd98bc
In the days of licensing hours, there was a pub in Heysham (th e Golden Ball(?) ) which would get cut off at high tide Best of all worlds Good for drinking your way through a sunday afternoon when you were a student onna bike
In my defence, I'd just got back from the pub. Ok, the case for the prosecution says that is almost always the case, but that simply makes me an habitual offender :-(
Savignon blanc with hot curry like Madras - a Touraine one would be good e.g. http://www.marksandspencer.com/Château-Roche-Touraine-Sauvignon-Blanc/dp/B0027IYLKS For more aromatic, spicy food like Chinese try a gewurztraminer e.g. http://www.tesco.com/wine/product/details/default.aspx?N=8130+4294967114&id=255242196 or this one from Conch y Toro in Chile is quite good and sometimes reduced to below a fiver http://www.tesco.com/wine/product/details/default.aspx?N=8130+4294967114&id=261117797

Strangely, Chambers doesn't give it as Hebrew; it gives the origin as "Judaism", which doesn't equate to Hebrew when I compare their two entries. #I wish I had your cockiness, #And you had a doo-wacka-do-wacka-doo-wacka-doo!
