I have a couple of friends who calls me "Seemorn", with a very false french although totally skewed twang. I quite like it and thing from hereon in that should be my name.

Arrrrgh. And I thought I'd heard the last of 'Do Different'! What does 'Do Different' mean that 'Do Differently' doesn't? If yo' acquires my drift.

"Sorry, I'm not eating that. I don't 'do' sushi."

"No, I will not wear the sodding Santa costume. I don't 'do' red."

"I am mindnumbingly conventional. I don't 'do' different."

Why did we end up going to the university with the crappest, most illogical motto ever. I wish they'd done different and written it in Latin. Then at least most folks wouldn't understand it.

Si: that might catch on. You might be obgliged to twirl your non-existent moustache Poirot-like, but a small price to pay, I feel.

Szwagier: Good point about the 'Do Different' UEA motto. Always thought it sounded like a (rather self-defeating) threat: 'Oi. You. DO DIFFERENT. Nuff said.'

Woss wcupyik?
