Latin doesn’t ‘share’ a lot of stuff with European languages, it is the root of the Romantic languages French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and (bizarrely) Romanian.

No it was about 7 years ago. He had just qualified, we were his first job in 77. Anyway, I’m digressing from the point of the thread.

A few years back I bumped into my old Latin teacher from 1977 ish. We had a chat in a cafe about stuff, he was nearing retirement, he said he had lots of students enrolling for Latin classes.

More plusses than minuses to being freelance imo.

Yes, we were dropped off at the end of the farm drive. When it was snowing Dad used to take us down in the tractor to meet the bus. In the summer I used to put a foot each on the three point linkage arms and hold on to the cab behind his seat. Seemed dodgy at the time, even dodgier looking back.

Wordle 1,048 4/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Pleased with myself here. Did line 4, then before pressing enter, went through the alternatives, found a more likely one and changed it.

No stick em up your 4rzeh0l3.

I had one with my initials back in the UK (G2 MJD) which I liked, maybe a bit naff, but for me, at that time, it gave me pleasure, I even wrote it off as a business expense. I do agree that the whole 7ogs/7reez altering of plates makes my teeth grind. Maybe hypocritical.

But you invite people to yours? Cos you may want to get these guys in to check stuff.

Hot tubs are filthy little sex ponds, you’re just wallowing round in a bubbling soup of other people’s unwashed arseholes, spunk and fanny batter.

Some of those things are too young for me. How about played a 78rpm record. Reversed charged a public telephone. Got caned on the arse at school. Sniffed glue in a plastic bag. Sat outside a pub with brother and sister in a Vauxhall Viva on a Sunday afternoon between 12.30 and 2.15 (strict opening times in those days) while your parents necked a few, occasionally bring out coke and crisps. Cos No Kids Allowed!

Mornin’ all. I dislike multiple day jobs. The weather can really cost you. Three day job started yesterday on some grass, some damage permitted, but no re-enactments of trench warfare allowed. Great day yesterday, ground just about holding together, then today the weather looks wet, probably have to pull off, bollox! Give me 1 day/1 tree jobs all year long!

It’s ok, I read it. -
Arb Assoc's view on freelancers and small businesses.

1: Lack of representation, of whom and to whom? please explain. 2: Undervaluation, the market finds its level, if it wasn’t worth it, it wouldn’t get done 3: Poor pay, see number 2. 4: insufficient regulation, that’s what makes it such a great business. You will never regulate domestic treework. In a world where anyone can change the brakes on theirs or anyone else’s car, stopping people from getting on a ladder to cut their own trees or prosecuting gardeners from doing the same is a none starter. -
I think a well worked three is the best score, two involves too much luck, 4 is a par for the course.
