Phonetic spelling with an ocker accent on Corin Dam road

Or was it taken in Florida?

The name of the town of Buttevant, County Cork, is believed to derive from the war cry of the De Barry family: “Boutez-en-Avant”, roughly translating as “Kick your way through”.

Now it all makes perfect sense.

Almost as classy as the canberra ave bridge signs they have, that warn you of the “clearence” when driving under… Almost…

To right!. ‘Possible’ should onle have one ‘s’.

And today the Department of Parliamentary Services has advertised for an “Ediotrial Support Officer” at http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Employment/Department_of_Parliamentary_Services.

Facepalm.

Public education clearly doesn’t work despite the signs you see all over Canberra that say it does.

My mind turned to Madame du Barry, last ‘official’ mistress of Louis XV. She outlasted the King but was executed during the Reign of Terror for no reason at all. Her last words before the guillotine were “One moment more, Mr. Executioner, I beg you!” Which no doubt amused lots of people.

Now what her ghost is is doing hanging around Corin Dam is a complete mystery. But the sign is trying to head off disaster. (Don’t you love long historical backgrounds to crappy jokes?)

I love you. I know you have mentioned a hubby in previous posts but will you marry me anyway?

Yes. Thanks for that historical tidbit.

The word debris is french and should actually have an acute accent over the e. Maybe they became puzzled as to how to attain an accent on an electronic message board and so settled on an Australian version.

I think it’s probably more correct to say that, the English word “debris” originated with the french word “débris”.

*** I followed your lead and lowercased my “french” in honour of the Rainbow Warrior, whose engineer was murdered in a french government secret service terrorist attack. Bloody bastard french.

The nearby resadents will be appalled by this insadent, much like those near the Mitchell chemical fire last September.

What they’ve done is be somewhat clever. You could experience a delay due to debris on the road, but it wouldn’t fit on the sign, so they have combined both words 🙂

I think they meant Deborah. It is possible that Deborah is out on the roads.

Debary? Isn’t that that new dance craze sweeping the nation?

De Bary? What year is a good year for that label?

Good grief.
