European trip ?'s
Following up to The Reid :
Following up to eetinBelgië sounds like an interesting little camera for those its relevant to. I thought you liked wide angle !!!! whats wrong with this camera, look like it could be a nice little P&S or are you just being snobby ? nope. As an aside, has anyone noticed that Mixi has taken our advice and now carries a camera to work with him? " I had my crusty old little digital camera in the tattered plastic bag that I carry with me to and from school, so I was able to take a few shots." A digital, to boot. -- Tim C. |

Not if you partied past Two A.M. last night, and every night, which
seems to me what 'siesta' is *really* all about... g Tim "Jesper Lauridsen" wrote in message ...

No- even in Spain (as you no doubt know) the siesta is gradually going away. sadly, A really sensible idea in hot climates. A really civilized custom in any climate. In our town, most people go home for a 3-hour break, which allows for a good lunch and a nap. Going back to work after the nap is like starting a whole new day. I would rather have a half-hour lunch break, and the get home 2 1/2 hours earlier. A 3 hour siesta would be a massive waste of time. |

Graffito doesn't sound right to me. I use the word 'graffito' in some circles. Where I feel that people might regard it as odd, and I want to refer to a single message or image, However, the singular "graffito" in Italian wouldn't mean a single message scrawled on a wall. It would mean something carved or incised. The term graffiti derives from the fact that in ancient times, these messages were actually incised on walls with a stone or a blade. I don't think the word is ever used in the singular to refer to what we call graffiti, which are generally no longer carved, but spray painted. I would suggest you use graffiti for a single message and think of it as individual characters (scratched on a wall, if you will) which constitute a message, and then your precision will be placated. I'm trying to think of an English analogy, where a word in the plural is used to refer to a different thing as one in the singular, but I can't think of one. Now that's settled can I have a panino ? Or do I have to ask for just one panini, please? bill |
