The common name was coined by frustrated anglers because the fish is notoriously difficult to hook on a fly. The formal scientific name (caeruleonothus) combines the Latin words for "blue" (caeruleo) and "bastard" (nothus).
viva straya!
auntie aggie lived Cumbernauld
between edinburgh and glasgow
auntie aggie was quite elderly
and very kind to a vague step relation and a complete stranger
auntie aggie had a stairlift to get up and down (the stairs obvs)
and loved to watch her 'stories' on daytime telly
auntie aggie referred to many people as 'his nibs'
and had a fake 'fire'
(which i found hilarious)
auntie aggie was very hospitable
and gave us advice on where to visit in her caledonia
auntie aggie had a lovey brogue
and fed and humoured us callow fools with great patience
auntie aggie was (politely) appalled that we didnt go to the cairngorns (as i had wished)
because a fucking idiot wanted to see a coastal shithole
no doubt auntie aggie has left the building by now
vale and thanks for the fry ups auntie aggie
yo nunca he estado en paraguay
pero tres veces casi casi
cerca de las ruinas de la mision de san ignacio MINI
nuestro hotel era al lado del rio parana
entonces fuimos a darnos un chupazon en el agua
donde esta la frontera
la seguna vez fue donde fuimos a posadas para cruzar la frontera y visitar la enorme presa yacyreta
pero el visado iba a costar demasiado
entonces compre unos pantolones cortos y basta
la tercera vez
fuimos al hito tres fronteras en puerto iguazu
de donde se puede ver todos los tres paises
argentina, brasil y paraguay
hi’aguĩeterei, ha katu mombyry eterei!
something meant to turn away, ward off, or prevent evil, bad luck, or harmful spiritual influences. It comes from the Greek word apotrepein, meaning "to turn away."
conclusion - anything can be apotropaic if you believe it hard enough.
try it at home! -
grab a common or garden variety stick, shove it forcefully up your arse, convince yourself its apotropaic then go leap into oncoming traffic and see how it works out for you.(you credulous twat)
not only did he injure himself
the goal that he was celebrating was ruled out by var
caralho!
but the question remains
Why so shit?
sure mick jones had been given the boot
but Joe strummers later work was amazing
his albums with the mescaleros are low key masterful
all in it was a sad conclusion to the oeuvre of one of the most important bands of the 'punk era'
Il 69enne Franco Malosso von Rosenfranz ha costruito un falso anfiteatro romano ad Arcugnano, sui Colli Berici (Vicenza). Usando pietre moderne invecchiate ad arte, ha spacciato l'opera per un vero sito archeologico millantando origini antiche e facendo pagare biglietti da 40 euro ai visitatori, prima di essere condannato a 2 anni e 4 mesi di carcere per abusivismo e truffa.
Cronologia delle attività -
2005: Franco Malosso dichiarò di aver "scoperto" il sito archeologico in seguito a una frana, dando il via alle visite.
2005–2016: Il sito ha ospitato turisti paganti (fino a 40 € a biglietto) ed è stato persino inserito in guide turistiche ufficiali.
Ottobre 2016: I Carabinieri del Nucleo Tutela Patrimonio Culturale hanno posto i sigilli al sito, interrompendo definitivamente le attività.
Non si sa cuanto sto furbo ha guadagnato ma il finto anfiteatro ha attirato migliaia di turisti (compresi molti stranieri) nel corso di circa 11 anni di attività. quindi un bella ciffra!
piove, uno scaltro ruba...
it is also a highly enjoyable word to pronounce, say it out loud, now!
(see, wasnt that just a verbal delight‽)
