things i’ve learnt from the internet part two.

May 7, 2008 by lozenge

1) i’ve just been asked to join this group on flickr:
السلام عليكم
قروب بدوي للعلوم الطيبه وهبه الريح وفله الحجاج والصور الذربه
يقول للجميع مرحبا والله ومسهلا
القروب قروبكم
والمحل محلكم
اخوكم
بدوي

the online translator offers this by way of explanation:
“The peace on you,
Bedouin for the flags granted him the wind,
the pilgrims and the masts says for the all welcomed and Allah and laxative
The place in place of you,
Make brotherly you,
Bedouin.

Hang on. Laxatives?

2) Philip Larkin described his own appearance as “a cross between an egg and a bloodhound”. Bless him.

3) After satisfying a recent bagel jones, I got to wondering about the origin of the word jonesin. it transpires that it may - or may not be - Great Jones Street in New York.

That’s all for now. Make brotherly you Bedouin.
