Hello, newbie here :)

Have to say that's how it's been so far, and I'm grateful that you all readily share your hard, sweat and tear-earned knowledge. Probably the friendliest forum I've joined in, well ever.

OK, I'm not to proud to ask - what does "veni verdi thingy" stand for?

Well I've forgotten any latin I learned at school, but it's *possibly* a literal translation for I came, I saw, I broke-down - a wee play on the I came, I saw, I conquered.

Now you just know someone with a degree in Latin is gonna come along and point out it's totally wrong!

I never got past amo amas amat and mensa mensam mensae
Anyway, welcome to the forum!

Cheers.

They must have had Landy Chariots to get the word 'defringo' which is Latin 'to break down'. What did the Romans ever do for us? must have conquered Solihull

Indeed, when in Rome and all that....

PS The Romans did give us sewers - without which I'd imagine cleaning the landy's tyres after a run would be even worse!

didnt they give us roman candles

Cleaning? what's that? slaves work. too busy with the toga parties and orgies.

Hey ! I thought a lot of the rights of way you guys drive down in England where built by the Romans ! all we got from them was Hadrian's wall !!!!!
