V-Flyer

Of all the forums (fora?) I have visited, this is by far the best designed.

There could be a section in which the films showing to/from UK could be listed. Source info could come from pax flying at the start of the month. Just a thought...

The films for the current month and the next month are always listed on the VS website complete with reviews, casts etc.

I'm all for "fora" GO but the younger crowd just don't seem to care [:(]

ROTFLMFAO

Nick; thanks for the link.

Decker; I am sure that the younger crowd would benefit knowing about neuter plural latin nouns! However, this is a frequent flyer forum so quoting latin nouns associated with air travel perhaps would be more appropriate?

I might only be 32, but I did far too much Latin at school, thankyouverymuch

(hate to say that I even remember some of it *sigh*)

Well if not you could always try http://www.worldlingo.com/languages/lat ... ation.html - hate to think what satanic rituals they invoke to get the native speakers...

I'm sorry, but I can't think of Latin lessons anymore without thinking of the brilliant graffiti scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian:D:D

Perhaps the website should have a section, exclusively in latin, to cater for the youngsters who have yet to forget their latin as I have done:). They might have to generate some new latin vocab e.g UCS could be Superthronius?

An exclusive Latin section could bring back some particularly dodgy memories of classes that I should have had therapy for a long time ago :D

BTW, Is Latin included on the National Curriculum these days, or does it still very much belong to the public school domain?

Cheers

Yes, I agree! Not a good idea. In my case it was not the latin that had bad memories but the physical violence inflicted on us if we made mistakes.

I did actually get a latin O Level (some will remember these) at a grammar school but I have no idea what is on the National Curriculum. My daughter went to a private school and she did year of latin but gave it up for some non-reason (she hated it!).

In its defence, it does help, sometimes, in working out what obscure english words mean.

I don't remember any physical violence, but public humiliation...

Know what you mean about helping to work out some words - but I dropped Latin as soon as I could, I really wasn't interested in another 2 years of suffering!

BTW, my year were the first year to do GCSEs (although I have got an O Level - took Maths a year early )

Cheers

Ditto here. I persevered and have the A grade to prove my competence!

Us youngsters are too often tarred with the same brush as the tracksuit-wearing playstation generation!

I don't belieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve it...
