Yes it is 3rd person verb form. In the scene the man knifes the victim,the noun plural is knives of course. REBAR JOHNNY AT YOUR SERVICE AS CY REAP LACEMENT TRUSS

**Mendip** · 04-10-2024, 05:21 AM

^ Yes, thank you, the verb, not the plural.

And before any more questions... 'felines' is a plural.

**DrWilly** · 04-10-2024, 05:38 AM

I stand corrected. Knifes. Ok.

Comprehension?

He seems to have read it okay, he just didn't know that it was a word.

Not that senility is without any advantages. I wake up with a different Thai woman every day.

Really? One word equals grade 4 reading level?

The sharp eyed will notice that this text has no tone marks. Only the consonants and basic vowels so far. Tones come along in Book 3.

Attachment 118775

There are no tone marks in the text but there are certainly tones to pronounce when reading the text.

Suppose it’s all context too, innit? Not many knifings in Melbourne, Australia were I growed up so didn’t need to learn the word, did I? London on the other hand…

**Mendip** · 05-10-2024, 09:59 AM

The more he claims to be a published author, the more I think of a phone book.

Another 3 episodes of Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing.

A moment when they are sat by a bank dozing, of course Morts can't.

Got me thinking of all the places as a kid during summer me an friends would spend up chestnut trees, alongside streams or in meadows. Quiet for a change and appreciating the clouds drift by, the warm breeze and for once not being hyper fukin active as 8 year olds are. I have promised myself to take Mrs Toot to a couple of special places i know are still there and remote, as long as we can get up the tree, the walk won't be the same with a step ladder but times change

I'll take her to Westonbirt Arboretum and show her the tree my is burried under, illegally but we paid fir it,. They have a particular bamboo thicket, hollow in the midlle that was the one and only time i got my arse licked, by a dog unfortunately whlist i was doing my Mrs doggie style. Kind of ruined the moment after the initial euphoria and then the owner whistling "here dave, come on dave", i just hope he licked her face later.

odd what trigger memories.

The sun is shining.

It's a beauiful Autumn day.

A walk in the woods and a spot of fishing beckons.

Manchester United are playing later.

There certainly are. What they are is a mystery that will probably never be revealed to me.

It is fifty years since it was explained to me that in Cantonese maai4 means 'buy', maai5 means 'sell' and maai6 means 'bring'. Don't ask me to identify any of them as single words, I just cannot hear the difference. I rely mainly on context to be understood. Even the locals often say 'buy in' and 'sell out' to avoid misunderstandings.

I assume that publishers no longer employ editors or proof readers? Suppose it’s all done by AI now?

A wonderful place in Gloucestershire in W of England just N of Bristol , I also love the woods , used to walk the Labrador in Ashdown Foest before school , There is also a place called Bedgebury Pinetum in Kent well worth a peek.
Luckily I have forests and cool rubber plantations on my doorstep.
Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest | Forestry England

My favourite forests are in Big Sur, where Steinbeck wrote,Quebec thru to New England, Hampshires etc and the Pyrenees where you can camp out on Grand Randonee high altitude paths in a refuge or tent without tropical hazards, tho bears and wolves now reintroduced.

I've just paid 75p for a coach ticket with Flixbus to London in January!

Ok, it's 5 hours, but I'm in no rush and it comes in at almost 55 times cheaper than the train!

So at 15p per hour, how do they break even let alone make profits? do they have recycle passenger gas emissions to power the motor, I trust you are in VIP seats away from the bathroom overflow?

Of course going down for Mancunians soon to be default position

The original price for booking this far ahead was about 6 quid, but I had a voucher to use, which brought it down to less than a quid!

It's pretty much the same concept as the low cost airlines. There are a few add ons you can include when you book and it gets more expensive the closer to the time of departurey.

Flixbus are everywhere now in Europe and they're really giving National Express a run for their money in the UK too.
