About This Blog

This blog was originally started as a thread on the forum pages of an animal rescue site. Now it's here!

The articles you find in here are purely for entertainment (yours and mine) and (with one or two exceptions) are all tongue-in-cheek chronicles of the World (my bit, anyway) as I see it.
No disrespect is intended towards anyone unless I make a mistake and make it too obvious.

I hope you enjoy my offerings. Feedback and comments of any kind are welcome.

Fornications

As I promised via Facebook yesterday ... Fornications !

Just as a matter of interest, fornications  [Late Latin fornicr, fornict-, from fornix, fornic-vault, vaulted cellar, brothel  ]  are the arches that you may find in, for instance, a vault, crypt or perhaps a church or cathedral. 

Nothing whatsoever to do with what you may have come looking for!

Sorry if I disappointed you!

    1. That could be the subject of an entirely different kind of article!

  3. So brothels were conducted underground in the vaults and cellars? Wonder what that did to the taste of the water?

  4. I like learning the true meaning of words. Now I have got to come up with it in a sentence and amaze my silly friends. Hmmm.... :)

    1. Slip it into the next conversation you have in a church.

      That might go down well.
