Kinky is using a feather. Perverted is using the whole chicken
t's a bugger getting old but at least there are some interesting stories to contemplate when there's nothing on TV. A recent news headline brought this one to mind. It's not my story, but I do know some of those involved, and I've heard it more than once so hope I can do it justice.
About three quarters of the way through the last century a New Zealand shooting team attended the world championship in their discipline for the first time. It happened that the event was to be held in France. It seems that the French attached considerable significance to the first attendance by a New Zealand team. The team were met at the airport by important looking men in suits and blazers, speeches were made, none of which our guys understood, but they got the red carpet treatment. No Customs, no Immigration, no Agriculture, nothing. Welcome to France!
Not being seasoned international travellers at that point, nothing struck them as particularly unusual.
Some time later, the championship over, the team were leaving France to do some tourist stuff in Italy. A world championship gold medal among their baggage. In due course they arrived at an alpine border post between France and Italy. The French soldier looked into the back of the van and noticed a rather obvious pile of gun cases.
“Guns?”
“Yeah”
“Papers?”
“No Papers”
“Must have papers”
Excitement ensued, and in short order our heroes were sitting in a cell on a French/Italian mountain contemplating their predicament.
Time passed. I have no idea how much time passed but eventually Glynn asked, “Laurie have you still got the letter that guy gave you at the airport?"
Laurie replied in the affirmative.
“Show it to them.”
So the lads called out and the guard came to see what the fuss was about whereupon Laurie handed him the letter. The guard read the letter, his eyes went big and he ran away soon to reappear with the officer and others. The cell door was opened and the lads were hurredly pushed out to their van. The soldiers couldn't get rid of them fast enough.
I don't know the exact wording of the letter, never having seen it, and anyway it was in French. The general gist though was along the lines, “To whom it may concern, please render every possible assistance...”
The letter was signed, Jaques Chirac, Mayor of Paris.
Now the Mayor of Paris is a big deal in France, politically it's a suitable launch pad for a tilt at President. A Lieutenant at a border post would really wreck his career by pissing off the Mayor of Paris.
The news of Jaques Chirac's recent passing at 86 should have revived the memories of those involved, even more than it did mine.

They mean the same thing.
only the correct term for you should have been "conjunctive"
Which is why i said a coalesce.
Whereas any idiot with a B2 in English has heard the term "conjunctive"
They also should know you can start a sentence with a "conjunctive" as long as its a adverb.

Well it turns out you are indeede correct for once.
Take the time to bask in the glory of it all it as its the first time in about 10 years you have been rightDefinition of coalesce
intransitive verb
1: to grow together
The edges of the wound coalesced.
2a: to unite into a whole : FUSE
separate townships have coalesced into a single, sprawling colony
— Donald Gould
b: to unite for a common end : join forces
people with different points of view coalesce into opposing factions
— I. L. Horowitz
3: to arise from the combination of distinct elements
an organized and a popular resistance immediately coalesced
— C. C. Menges
But then again i am am big enough to admit when i am wrong, otherwise we would be having the reverse of this conversation week after week.

Need i remind you, that only about a week ago you claimed a report was Full independent and transparent.
When it was clearly proven to be none of these three things.
You then instead of putting you hand up and being a man and admitting you were wrong sought to attempt to redefine the meaning of the words.
Or the time you claimed farmers send 100kg plus rodeo calves to the works when the works don't accept cattle this size.
Or that time you claimed there was numerous alternatives to 1080 on the vast inaccessible areas of NZ and then couldn't name one.
Or that time you posted a engine (the Geet)that was a well known fraud that was supposed to run on coffee or water and you refused to admit it was a made up piece of shit.
Or that time you claimed there were no gas chambers at in German concentration camps when even the two convicted fraudsters you quoted as being proof admitted there were.
Or that time you kept claiming ad nausea the WTC buildings fell at free-fall speed when the clearly did not
Or that time you claimed they collapsed into their own footprints when they clearly did not.
Or that time when you quoted a police as saying something he clearly did not, about United Airlines Flight 93
Or that time you claimed a an engine was found to be a distance away from the crash site when it was less than a third of that distance.
Or that time you claiming passports were never found intact after a high speed impact like 911 when they commonly are.
But you know no one here expects you not to be hypocritical.

In the place you just posted it it should.
Your reply to my post should contain proof of your claims, rather than evidence of your continued ignorance.
But yeah go for it, further avoid backing up your claims at every opportunity.
Ps that's the best comeback you have....... after two days.
