You eat asparagus on pizza. Peeled and boiled to death beforehand. The white variety, you understand. Yum yum yum. Can’t wait for the season to start.

Do I remember correctly that “sentry” is feminine in French?
Golly, google translate is brill: “la sentinelle”.

My dear Dearieme, if you saw some of the Google translations, in either direction, which I receive to correct you would split your sides.

Happy Birthday Tim – are you aware your Birthday occurs within a week of a certain Retired Accountant in Downham Market…..?(Although I believe he is five years older)
A lot of people believe that “he” and “his” can be gender-neutral, but it simply isn’t true, as is easily demonstrated with this sentence:
Was it your mother or your father who broke his leg last year?
The correct gender-neutral pronoun, as used by Shakespeare and Austen, is “they”. It’s not a politically correct neologism at all; it’s just that some people have wrongly persuaded themsleves that it is.
Happy 51st, Tim!
Best wishes,
Jonathan
JT: I make that 52nd
