and there is:
Veni, vermini, vomui
I came, I got ratted, I threw up
Visi, veneri, vamoosi
I visited, I caought an embarassing disease, I ran away.

These are from "Jingo" by Terry Pratchett. So they probably aren't right.

Skip · 7th October 2001, 11:28 AM

veneri is just from 'veneral' and vamoosi certainly in't Latin. Hey Shaun why not visit the Pratchett forums in books? I love to discuss Pratchett, plus there's Rankin too if you like him.

I'm stil working on 'we don't ever have existed here anymore' LOL.... what a tense...

Shaun · 7th October 2001, 12:42 PM

Yeah, I pretty much guessed he made it up when I read
Vammosi. But still I thought it was pretty funny. And thanks for reminding me Skip, I haven't been to the Pratchett forum in a while.

Skip · 7th October 2001, 03:04 PM

Your welcome. No, he did it on purpose and I'm not adverse to dire puns either

Aing-Tii · 15th October 2001, 09:48 PM

We don't ever have existed anymore?!? Good grief! That's going to have to be a future perfect subjunctive I think! :laugh2::laugh2: Wish I could actually remember my Latin. But that was a long time ago in galaxy far, far away.......Uh oh, guess I better head over to the old coots thread......

:lol:

:star::star::star:

Skip · 16th October 2001, 07:51 PM

reptile · 21st October 2001, 01:24 PM

u should watch them on sat there fun

Aing-Tii · 21st October 2001, 11:22 PM

:lol::laugh2:

Skip! Just saw veni, vidi, smegi! Good one! Shall we conjugate our smeg?

smego, smegas, smegat, smegamus, smegatis, smegant.
Did I get that right? It's been SOOOOO long since I took Latin.

Teehee!

:star::smile::star:

Skip · 22nd October 2001, 07:52 PM

correct!
smegebam smegebas smegebant smegebamus smegebatis smegebant!

(how to learn latin verbs... stick smeg in front and you will do it.. hmm some strange pshychology...)

Aing-Tii · 23rd October 2001, 12:43 AM

:lol:

I think you're on to something there! If I conjugated and declined smeg I'd have so much fun I'd have to remember it all!

Mind you, it was 21 years ago when I last declined or conjugated.

smegabam--I smegged in the past, right?

Okay, now maybe Skip will do the first declensions for me? :kisses: Help jog the old smegger's memory?

:star::smile::star:

Sinistra · 6th December 2001, 05:47 PM

i vote for lister...

dreamwatch · 13th December 2001, 12:42 PM

It was tough but I voted for Rimmer - he sort of sums up the Red Dwarf spirit for me, but then they all do I guess. Oh decisions, decisions . . .

On the Kristine debate - I like the first one better, but that's not to take anything from Chloe. I'm just not good with change.

Aing-Tii · 18th December 2001, 09:25 AM

Yeah, I like Chloe, too. I think she does great comedy acting, very subtle at times. But I'm sort of partial to the first Kochanski also. She seems more like Lister's "type." I like that Chloe/Kochanski is her own person though.

:star::smile::star:

Bayleaf48 · 15th June 2002, 02:13 PM

It's Lister for me :rolly2:

Jessa · 22nd July 2002, 06:26 PM
