I am going to call it a "spindle" in my next sentence. The f-off huge lump of round bar that joins one wheel to the other, both mechanically and electrically, is a spindle. I just called it a "spindle".

At first I was

I've clearly fallen for the premise of this thread; hook, line, sinker, rod and copy of Angling Times.

Oh dear. A tweet from Her Majesty just now:

"One can confirm Windsor Castle is to be powered by hydro-electricity. This will mean MPs working shifts to peddle a machine in the Thames."

Well, it is her English - so I suppose she can say what she likes....

Catering bods! What, prithee, is this "course grain mustard" of which you speak?

This thread flaunts common sense. You're creation is a Frankenstein.

I had a pendant problem once. Sort of, in as much as it hung around my neck - for the pedants on here. A German girlfriend bought it Amsterdam in the early 70s. It was a mole's foot/claw mounted/glued in a silver collar thing that an Antiques Roadshow (which I am sure is every YACFer's fave tv prog) jewellery twat/expert/boring person will have a proper name for - as opposed to my wholly incorrect guess/stab at "escutcheon" - silly me

Cos I flaunted it somewhat and it scratched and caught itself up in my chest hair, it caused people to stare below my chin at me surprisingly - it had no corner to hide in - bit like when you go into a proper boozer wearing lycra shorts

Latterly/recently, I have come to realise I could have done up the three or four top buttons of my Wrangler denim shirt and would have had more chance at direct eye contact. But I may have appeared more boring?

I wonder what Team YACF wore around their necks on their RESPECT heroic PBP experiences?

This thread has too much pedantry and not enough pendantry.

I think it's "time" for more pendants.

Are we in danger of this thread becoming pendulous?

Is that Victoria Pendulous?

She's still firm and fruity in my eyes.

I am particularly enjoying the popular beat maestro 'Wretch 32' and his current ditty 'Don't Go' and the defining lyric 'capital E Relevant'.

Vunderbar.

Thread revival. This isn't just pendantry - it's a load of old baubles.

"That's a miracle we do not understand; the moon phase we do understand, so why not draw it correct?"

Surely-if we're going to indulge in pendantry, it should be "correctly"?

that is actually classic pendantry in it's purest form. The guy is probably dead right, but the question is:
Who 'king cares?

They go on to say:

Quote

The astronomer has put his pedantry to good use in a paper accepted for the journal Communicating Astronomy with the Public.

I VERY much doubt that ...
