..That would be 'Tourette's Syndrome', Shaun... I often wondered what would happen to someone with the Tourette's effing Tic on Jury service...jarndice wrote:Or perhaps Terrets ******* syndrome which considering the language emanating from my workshop would be even more apt

Hemifan,
Great to have you with us! As you can see, things do go slightly astray at times! It does tend for some very interesting reading and thought provoking musings! That is a nice Sherman you have there too! Enjoy!
Cheers,
Eric.

Once many years back I came into the company of a boy about 8 years old who was feffing and blinding like an infantryman,43rdRecceReg wrote:..That would be 'Tourette's Syndrome', Shaun...

I am an old soldier and it was too much even for me,
I asked him to use more temperate language and he in the innocence of youth asked Why
I felt genuinely sorry for that young man and not a little anger at his parents.
English is a very flexible language when compared to French/German/Russian and I enjoy playing with it so I was trying to merge Turret and Tourette to flatter your comment,
Patently obviously I failed as you say Roy back to the Sherman.
I think I am about to upset someone
